BRAVA ALIGN – Pilates Reformer Arrives at BravaFit

Written By Cristina Popescu

We’re excited to announce that BRAVA ALIGN, our brand-new Pilates Reformer class, will soon be available at Studio Brava! This class is designed to help you build strength, improve posture, and find balance through one of the most effective pieces of equipment in the fitness world: the Pilates Reformer.

 

What is the Pilates Reformer?

The Pilates Reformer is a specialized piece of equipment created by Joseph Pilates. At first glance, it looks like a sleek bed with a sliding carriage, springs, and straps—but don’t let its appearance fool you. This versatile machine provides endless opportunities to strengthen, lengthen, and tone your body. It’s the perfect tool to take your Pilates practice beyond the mat.

 

Benefits of Pilates Reformer

Practicing Pilates on the Reformer goes beyond building a strong core. Some key benefits include:

  • Full-body strengthening – Engage muscles you didn’t even know you had.

  • Improved posture – Alignment-focused movements help you stand taller and move with ease.

  • Greater flexibility – The machine allows for deeper stretches while keeping your body supported.

  • Low-impact training – Gentle on the joints while still providing a powerful workout.

  • Mind-body connection – Each movement is intentional, helping you focus and move with precision.

 

What Exercises Can You Do on a Pilates Reformer?

The Reformer allows a wide range of movements for every fitness level. You can:

  • Perform core-focused exercises like leg circles or the hundred with added resistance.

  • Build strength through upper and lower body moves such as footwork, lunges, and arm presses.

  • Enhance mobility with stretching flows that target the spine, hips, and shoulders.

  • Work on balance and stability using the moving carriage and straps for support and challenge.

 

How Do You Adjust the Resistance?

One of the best features of the Reformer is its adjustable springs. By changing the spring settings, you can increase or decrease the resistance depending on your fitness level or the type of exercise. This makes the Reformer suitable for beginners, seasoned athletes, and everyone in between.

 

Coming Soon to BravaFit

We can’t wait to welcome you to BRAVA ALIGN in the next few weeks. This class will blend the principles of Pilates with the dynamic possibilities of the Reformer, helping you build strength, alignment, and confidence in every session.

Stay tuned for the official launch date and get ready to experience Pilates like never before at Studio Brava!
