You work the full length of every muscle while maintaining core control to increase core strength, sculpt legs and arms and flatten abdominals. Pilates Reformer also improves body awareness and posture and increases flexibility and balance while going easy on your joints. Small group classes ensure that you get individualized attention on form and alignment.
