What does a Pilates Reformer do?

Reformer Pilates can truly TRANSFORM your body. These dynamic, full-body classes challenge your strength, balance, flexibility, and control—all in one sleek, spring-loaded machine.

At Retro Pilates, we use the Allegro II Reformer, which features a sliding carriage and adjustable springs that add resistance and intensity to every movement. Whether you’re pushing, pulling, jumping, or stretching, the Reformer helps tone, lengthen, and sculpt muscles you didn’t even know you had.

Looking to level up even more? Our Philadelphia flagship also offers TOWER classes—a transformational blend of mat work and spring resistance using the Pilates tower system for deep, targeted strengthening.
