Mat Pilates vs Reformer Pilates?
Choice depends on specific goals
Pilates mat is a nice way for beginners to learn more about the principles of Pilates and gain confidence before trying reformer.
Mat is more accessible and highly effective just using body resistance, with the option to add extra resistance using the ball, bands and the magic circle. This equipment can be used alongside the reformer machine too.
Pilate’s clients report they had quicker results with the help of the reformer machine. The spring options allow clients to add and relieve resistance when needs be. This makes is more appealing for those seeking extra support with strength or mobility training.
If you struggle with coordination the straps on the Reformer can help with body control. This also makes it more appealing to those recovering from injury. Bearing in mind it is good to learn how to control the body without the help of straps.
To conclude, combine the two!
What should I do first if I am new to Pilates?
