REFORMER CLASSES

Reformer Class - OVERVIEW

 All of our Reformer classes are designed to target core muscles, improve flexibility, circulation and general strength.  For post-natal mums, our Mums & Bubs and Parents & Toddlers classes are designed to rehabilitate, strengthen and recover from the inside out in a safe and effective way.   Since we know that you lead a really busy life full of multi-tasking and running from here to there, we have the ideal option for you!  Our Reformer Classes are tailored to our clients and aim to make this experience as fun and worthwhile for both body and mind as we can!  Our classes run a maximum of 4 people per class in order for us to give better supervision and optimize your experience.  We welcome those who are complete beginners to the more experienced wanting a challenge.  Our instructor will guide you as to which class would suit you best after completing your initial INTRO session.

You must complete a Pre-Class Assessment prior to joining any of our other classes.  Even if you have been on the Reformer before, this allows us to assess any medical and injury history and look at your core and gluteal strength and discuss any pelvic floor issues.  Our pre-class assessment is $40 and aimed at specifically assessing whether you are ready to enter our general class and which class would be most beneficial for you.

Our general Reformer sessions (Reformer BASICS, FIT Reformer, 55+ Reformer, Mums & Bubs Reformer) are run by our experienced and wonderful Instructors.  For Antenatal classes and Private Rehabilitation sessions are run by our Physio please click Antenatal & Postnatal for further information on these.   Some clients may be able to progress to rehab with one of our experienced Instructors.  Again, this will be discussed with you if/when appropriate.
