Straps, Springs, and Unexpected Core Pain: My Quest for Abs at Reformer Pilates

They said Reformer Pilates would be “low impact.” They did not mention the part where you feel muscles you didn’t know existed sobbing in Morse code. In this blog, we dive into the delightfully painful world of Reformer Pilates—where the equipment looks suspiciously like a medieval torture device, but your instructor somehow smiles while telling you to “just hold it for 30 more seconds.” You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll question your life choices mid-hundred pulses. But hey, by the end, your core will be tighter than your grip on the reformer’s resistance cords.
