If you think Reformer Pilates is all about your abs, think again. While core strength is a big part of the workout, Reformer Pilates challenges muscles throughout your entire body, from your glutes and legs to your shoulders, arms and back.

At Forum Pilates in Edmonton, Reformer classes combine controlled movements, spring resistance and mindful breathing to create a full-body workout that builds strength, improves mobility and challenges your muscles in different ways. Whether you’re new to Pilates or looking to add something different to your existing fitness routine, understanding which muscles are involved can help you get more out of every class.

Finding a workout that both people actually enjoy can be harder than it sounds.

One person might love lifting weights while the other prefers running. One might be looking for a challenging workout, while the other wants something lower impact. Finding something that works for both can take some trial and error.

That’s one of the reasons Reformer Pilates has become such a popular option for couples.

At Forum Pilates in Edmonton, couples can take the same class, work toward their own fitness goals, and still get a workout that can be adjusted to their individual ability. Reformer Pilates combines resistance, controlled movement, balance, and core work to create a full-body workout without the high-impact nature of some traditional forms of exercise.

For couples looking to get active together, here are some of the biggest reasons to give it a try.

Summer is for slowing down, travelling, spending time outside and enjoying a little less structure. And while we love all of that, there’s something refreshing about getting back into a routine when fall arrives.

September often feels like a fresh start. Schedules become more predictable, kids head back to school, work gets back into a rhythm and we start thinking about the routines we want to carry with us through the rest of the year.

If your fitness routine took a bit of a backseat over the summer, fall is the perfect time to get moving again—and Reformer Pilates is a great way to do it.

At Forum Pilates, we believe getting back into exercise shouldn’t mean going from zero to one hundred. It’s about finding movement you enjoy, creating consistency and giving yourself something to look forward to each week.
