Pilates Reformer Secrets of the Pros
Pilates reformers are not just machines—they are the ultimate tool for building strength, flexibility, and balance. While anyone can use a reformer, professional instructors know how to maximize its potential to achieve targeted results. Here are the secrets the pros use, and how you can bring them into your home or studio with FitBoutique’s premium equipment.
1. Master the Basics Before Advanced Moves
Professional Pilates instructors emphasize the importance of mastering foundational exercises. Using machines like the Ivory Fold Reformer or Onyx Reformer, beginners should focus on alignment, breathing, and controlled movement. These core principles ensure safety and effectiveness, preparing you for more challenging sequences.
