Win 6 Reformer Pilates classes at NBK Pilates

Reformer Pilates is having a moment, and if you haven’t tried it yet, you might be wondering what you’re missing. With devoted fans making it a regular fixture in their fitness routines, this increasingly sought-after workout has sparked plenty of curiosity. So what’s the attraction? And could it become your new favourite way to exercise?

Despite looking a little intimidating, the Reformer is a surprisingly versatile piece of equipment. Its sliding carriage, adjustable springs and straps provide resistance and support, allowing exercises to be adapted to your experience, strength and range of movement. You don’t need to arrive flexible or super-fit; developing those qualities is part of the appeal.

The emphasis is on thoughtful, precise movement rather than racing through repetitions. Working muscles throughout the body, Reformer Pilates can help develop strength, balance, flexibility and body awareness, with particular attention to the core. And while it’s low-impact, don’t mistake that for an easy ride! Small, controlled movements can provide quite a challenge, without the jumping and pounding associated with some workouts.

Locally, NBK Pilates in Riseley puts personal attention at the heart of its approach. Founder Naomi Baker combines classical Pilates with modern teaching, creating a welcoming environment where beginners and more experienced participants can build confidence in their movement. Naomi completed advanced teacher training through The Pilates Center in Boulder, Colorado, and holds a diploma in biomechanics coaching, bringing an understanding of how the body moves to her teaching.

With studio, online and community Pilates options, NBK’s focus is on helping people find an enjoyable practice that fits into everyday life. Whether you fancy focused time for yourself or a new challenge with a friend, this could be the perfect way to feel stronger and more confident this November.
