Never heard of Reformer? No problem!

The reformer consists of a bed-like rectangular made from either wood or metal.

On top of the frame sits a padded platform known as the carriage. The carriage is attached to hidden runners and so is able to flow up and down the length of the frame freely. This makes the smooth execution of exercises possible.

At one end of the reformer frame is the foot bar. This is adjustable. It can be moved to accommodate clients of different heights. The foot bar can also be quickly lowered or raised if an exercise requires it.

The carriage is attached to one end of the reformer with a series of springs in a range of tensions. By adjusting the spring tension in this way, the resistance provided by the reformer is made either easier or more difficult. Surprisingly, one light spring is often more challenging than several heavier ones.

At the opposite end of the frame are two long ropes with loop handles attached to pulleys. When it comes to the loop handles there is usually an option of a small one and a large one. The smaller ones are intended for hands and the larger ones are designed for feet.

The reformer carriage has other features such as shoulder pads (to stop you from sliding off when you’re lying down) and an adjustable headrest. All of which is designed to make your experience on the reformer more comfortable.
