The Reformer
We know it’s daunting to look at the Reformer but you’ll be in great hands. The beginner’s introduction only takes a couple of minutes to explain and you’ll be on your way to being a pro in just a few more minutes. The introduction is to explain the effect of the colour-coded springs, the use of the straps and the carriage. The springs provide the tension for your workout and really are easy to deal with; your trainer will always explain which springs you need and give a clear description of each exercise. The straps allow a multitude of exercises to be performed and the smooth glide of the carriage helps to achieve a controlled workout. In fact, after that first visit, you’ll come back for your second Bootcamp Pilates class and wonder what you were worried about.
Standard Pilates Class
Not recommended for beginners.
The majority of our classes are the intermediate ones. Our professional trainers have many different routines and one class will rarely be the same as another. Even at intermediate level you’ll be learning a lot of new exercises but with that added confidence you might have lacked early on.
Beginner Pilates Classes
The essential class if you are new to Bootcamp Pilates. We also recommend that you do at least 3 or 4 beginners classes. Your friendly trainer will be able to tell you if you are ready to move up to our intermediate classes. This also helps to ensure that the intermediate classes flow and allow clients to get the most from their sessions.
So, you’ve had your brief introduction and you’re ready for this beginners session. You’ll get a great first workout but with just the right amount of sympathy needed at an early stage. The classes are about getting used to the correct techniques for each exercise, so that you reap the full benefits.
Please ensure that you attend beginners classes if you are completely new to Bootcamp Pilates' Dynamic Reformer workout. The pace of the class is designed to give you the perfect introduction, allowing you to be more comfortable in tackling the steadier and tougher intermediate classes.
In addition, if you are returning after injury, then do a couple of beginners sessions to get back into the swing of things. It's never wise to push too hard, too soon.
