In the realm of fitness, Dynamic Reformer Pilates stands tall as a powerhouse workout that combines strength, flexibility, and mindfulness. Originating from the principles of traditional Pilates, this evolved form introduces a dynamic and challenging approach that revolutionises the way one engages with their body and overall well-being. Here at PPUK with our fully qualified trainers and unique approach, we aim to make you more balanced (both body and mind) fitter, and stronger than ever before.
Boutique Studio
We pride ourselves in maintaining the main principles of Pilates, whilst challenging the Pilates repertoire with intelligent and innovative movement, fused with more traditional compound exercises such as lunges, push ups and squats, and highly beneficial strength training. As a boutique studio with just nine reformer beds, we can offer that hands-on approach to help you gain better alignment and technique as you train, to help you gain progress. We also work hard to maintain the quality of our trainers and our classes, ensuring the very best in Dynamic Reformer Pilates. There’s a reason why Women’s Health and Cosmopolitan magazine has named us as one of the best!
Enhances Core Strength and Stability
Dynamic Reformer Pilates performed on a specialised machine called the Reformer, engages the core muscles extensively. The workout focuses on controlled movements and resistance training, targeting deep muscles that might often be neglected. This results in improved core strength, better posture, and enhanced stability.
Full-Body Workout
Unlike more traditional reformer and matwork Pilates which mainly focuses on the core, Dynamic Reformer Pilates offers a results-driven workout for the entire body. Here at PPUK, we love a lower and upper body burn! With the addition of weights in our classes, these movements can be intensified on the reformer providing a really powerful, balanced full-body workout. Not only this, but we recognise the need for other forms of exercise in your weekly workouts. This is why our extensive schedule offers Strength Pilates, HIIT Pilates (especially beneficial for women over forty looking to combat the onset of perimenopause and menopause), and Jumpboard Pilates which provides a fun challenge, to not only add variety to your weekly classes, but will also enhance your training program and give you the best opportunity to dramatically change your body composition, improve heart health and make you stronger.
Increased Flexibility and Mobility
Through its emphasis on controlled movements and stretches, Dynamic Reformer Pilates enhances flexibility and mobility. Regular practice can lead to an increased range of motion, allowing for better movement in daily activities, and enhanced performance on the reformer and other sports and activities, being more flexible and mobile will reduce the risk of injuries.
Postural Improvement
In our modern sedentary lifestyles, poor posture is a common concern. Dynamic Reformer Pilates works on aligning the body, correcting imbalances, and strengthening the muscles responsible for maintaining proper posture. This results in improved alignment, better posture, and reduced strain on the body.
Mind-Body Connection and Stress Reduction
One of the distinctive aspects of Pilates is its focus on the mind-body connection. Through controlled lateral breathing and precise movements, we can cultivate mindfulness during workouts. This not only enhances concentration but also reduces stress and promotes relaxation. All of these play a key role in reducing cortisol levels which leads to abdominal weight gain especially post-forty and into menopause.
Tailored to you
Dynamic Reformer Pilates can be adapted to various fitness levels and individual needs. Whether you’re a beginner or an athlete, the exercises can be modified by adjusting the resistance, intensity, and complexity, making them suitable for everyone. Here at PPUK, we offer Beginner, All Levels, and Intermediate/Advanced classes, so that you can work at a level you’re comfortable with and can build on as you become stronger and more knowledgeable of the principles.
Engaging and Fun Workout
The diverse repertoire of exercises in Dynamic Reformer Pilates keeps the workout interesting and enjoyable. The constant challenge of mastering new movements and challenges will keep your body guessing and keep you motivated and engaged. Plus we like to think that our trainers are some of London’s finest and they will certainly keep pushing to get the very best out of you!
We look forward to seeing you in class.
