The springs add support or resistance, so every movement can be made gentler or more challenging, whatever your starting point. Whether you lift weights, live with aches and pains, or simply want to reconnect with your body, it helps you feel **taller, stronger and more aligned**. And because it's low impact, there's no jumping and no jarring. [What happens in your first session](https://helfit.co.uk/reformer-pilates#first-session) Why people love it ## What reformer Pilates *does for you.* ### Strength without strain Springs build strength through your whole body without heavy loads on your joints. ### Better posture Slow, controlled movement helps you stand taller and move with more ease day to day. ### A stronger core Every exercise asks your deep core to work, building stability you'll feel everywhere. ### Body awareness You'll learn how your body moves, which makes everything from lifting to walking feel better. ### Kind to joints Low impact and fully adjustable, so it suits beginners, returners and athletes alike. ### Leave calmer Train in a quiet studio among the vines and leave feeling lighter than when you arrived. At your pace Built around your body Pilates for rehabilitation ## For bodies that need *a little more care.* If you live with a **disability**, a **chronic illness** or an **injury**, reformer Pilates can be one of the kindest ways to build strength. The springs support you, nothing is high impact, and every exercise can be adapted. We start with your health form and a proper conversation about what you need, then work 1:1 at a pace that feels right. If you’re under the care of a GP, consultant or physiotherapist, please check with them first, and I’m happy to work around their advice.

Very few studios in Somerset have one. ### Supported rehab The frame and springs hold you as you move, so you can work safely after an injury or operation. ### Deeper stretch Hanging straps and bars help you lengthen tight hips, hamstrings and shoulders further than on the floor. ### Strength from the inside Spring resistance in every direction builds deep core and postural strength. ### Shaped around you Every spring and strap is adjustable, so it suits beginners, people living with a condition and athletes. Cadillac sessions are private, £50 per hour.

Your first session ## Here's exactly *what to expect.* 1. ### Book online Choose a time that suits you. You'll get a confirmation with directions to the farm. 2. ### Fill in a health form Fill in my short [health form](https://helfit.co.uk/health-form) so I know about any injuries or conditions before we start. 3. ### We talk it through Arrive past the vines, say hello to Elton, and we'll chat about your goals and how you're feeling. 4. ### Learn at your pace I'll show you the reformer step by step, with options to make every move gentler or harder. What to bring ## Pack light. *Everything else is here.* ### Comfortable clothes Something you can move and stretch in. Close-fitting tops are best, so I can see your alignment. ### Pilates grip socks Please bring your own grip socks: they keep you steady on the reformer and are better for hygiene. ### A water bottle You'll be working harder than you think, so bring water to sip between exercises. ### Your health form Fill in your health form before your first session, so we can get straight to moving. > "I visited for my first session today and thoroughly enjoyed it. Helen is super friendly and encouraging. I felt very welcome and the studio is so calm and relaxed." > — Lelly S, First session Good to know ## Reformer Pilates *questions.* ### Is reformer Pilates good for beginners? Yes. The springs can make every movement gentler or harder, so it adapts to you. If you're nervous, a 1:1 session is a lovely way to learn the reformer before joining a class. ### Can I do reformer Pilates with back pain or an injury? Often, yes. You'll fill in a health form before your first session and we'll talk through what you need. A 1:1 session lets me build everything around you. If you're under the care of a GP or physiotherapist, check with them first. ### What should I wear? Comfortable clothes you can move in. Please bring your own Pilates grip socks. Bring water; everything else is here. ### What's the difference between 1:1 and a class? A 1:1 session is just you and me, fully personalised, for £45. Classes are small, friendly groups with options for every level, for £20. ### What is a Pilates Cadillac? The Cadillac, also called a trapeze table, is a raised, padded bed inside a metal frame hung with springs, bars and straps. You can lie, sit, kneel or stand on it, and the frame supports you while you stretch and strengthen. ### Who are Cadillac sessions for? Anyone, from complete beginners to experienced exercisers. The extra support makes it especially good if you’re coming back from an injury or an operation, live with a long-term condition, or find getting down to the floor difficult. ### How is the Cadillac different from the reformer? The reformer has a moving carriage, so you work against the springs as it glides. The Cadillac bed stays still and the springs and bars come to you from the frame, which gives more support, a deeper stretch and exercises you can’t do on a reformer. ### How much is a Cadillac session, and how do I book? Cadillac sessions are private, just you and me, and cost £50 per hour.
