✨ MAT vs REFORMER - what’s the difference? ✨
I get asked this a lot, so here’s your quick guide 👇🏼
MAT PILATES
• Uses your bodyweight + gravity
• Performed on the floor with a mat
• Builds core control, mobility & technique
• Can be way harder than it looks - there’s no machine to help you!
• Perfect for building a strong foundation
REFORMER PILATES
• Uses a reformer machine with adjustable springs
• Springs can assist movement or add resistance
• Offers more support, variety & adaptability
• Builds strength, improves alignment & challenges your body in new ways
So… which one is better? There’s no right answer! 🤍
They complement each other perfectly, leaving you feeling stronger, more controlled and probably a little shaky 😂 they are suitable for all levels, with options to progress or modify.
