Our Rise-former® beds are custom-built machines designed to take your Pilates workout to the next level.
While a traditional Reformer focuses on controlled movement, flexibility, and core strength using springs, pulleys, and a moving carriage, the Rise-former® adds more intensity, versatility, resistance options, and challenge - ideal for strength-building and time-under-tension training.
A Rise-former® is similar to a Pilates Reformer but is larger, more complex, and designed for continuous muscle engagement.
-
The magic happens when you do both. Mat-based classes such as Pilates, Barre, and Yoga focus on bodyweight movement, stability, mobility, and endurance — they’re great for building core strength, improving flexibility, and boosting cardiovascular fitness in a low-impact way.
Reformer Pilates adds resistance and precision using the bed and springs to challenge your strength, control, and coordination. It’s ideal for building muscle tone and improving posture and alignment.
Want a full-body routine that’s sustainable, varied, and super effective? Blend both into your weekly schedule for the best results.
