✅ What Is It?
Pilates Reformer by Ellev8 was created to bring balance, elegance, and precision back into training, giving women a space to strengthen from the inside out.
Born from the belief that true strength is both powerful and graceful, Reformer Pilates at Ellev8 complements our performance-based classes like Ellite, Booty, and SheRox by focusing on posture, mobility, and deep core stability.
Each session takes place on the Reformer bed, a spring-loaded resistance machine that lengthens, strengthens, and sculpts the body in perfect alignment.
✅ A Brief History
The Reformer was invented by Joseph Pilates in the early 1900s, originally designed to help rehabilitate injured soldiers through controlled movement and resistance.
His method focused on core strength, posture, breath, and balance, teaching the body to move as one integrated, efficient system.
Over time, Reformer Pilates evolved into a globally recognised method of functional strength and mindful movement, now used by athletes, dancers, and rehabilitation specialists alike for its ability to create strength without strain.
✅ Why It Was Created at Ellev8
At Ellev8, Reformer Pilates completes the circle of women’s strength training.
While traditional lifting builds visible muscle and power, Reformer develops the foundation underneath it all your posture, alignment, and stability.
It’s the bridge between aesthetic training and long-term strength longevity, helping every woman move better, recover faster, and feel deeply connected to her body.
✅ The Science Behind Reformer Pilates
Reformer Pilates is rooted in biomechanics, the study of how the body moves efficiently and safely.
By using resistance springs and controlled movement, it targets stabilising muscles around your spine, hips, and shoulders to improve posture, flexibility, and balance.
Each movement activates your deep core and pelvic floor, enhancing muscular endurance, joint integrity, and mind–muscle connection.
Scientific benefits include:
✅ Improved spinal alignment and posture
✅ Greater joint stability and mobility
✅ Reduced injury risk and faster recovery
✅ Enhanced core and pelvic control
✅ Increased flexibility and balance
✅ How It Complements Strength Training
Reformer Pilates and strength training are a perfect partnership.
While Ellite and Booty by Ellev8 build muscle and power, Reformer refines control, precision, and posture, creating strength that moves beautifully.
