Is Reformer Pilates Hard?
The short answer?
It depends.
But probably not for the reason you're expecting.
Most people think "hard" means jumping, sprinting, burpees, or leaving class completely spent.
Pilates-inspired strength training is different.
Instead of asking your body to move faster, it asks your muscles to work longer.
And that's where things get interesting.
Is Reformer Pilates Good for Weight Loss
If you’ve been searching for a workout that helps you lose weight, you’ve probably seen Pilates come up. But does reformer Pilates actually help with weight loss?
Before I answer that, I want to tell you why I found this style of training in the first place. Because my relationship with fitness hasn’t always looked like it does today.
In my 20s, I was doing what a lot of people do when they’re trying to get in shape. I was doing bootcamps (what many people now call circuit training), OrangeTheory, running, strength training, and pushing myself through intense workouts.
The problem? I wasn’t supporting my body the way I needed to.
