 "The art of contrology proves that the only real guide to your true age lies not in years or how you THINK you feel but as you ACTUALLY are as infallibly indicated by the degree of natural and normal flexibility enjoyed by your spine throughout life." - Joseph Pilates  |

Reformer Classes Matwork is advanced with Reformer classes. The reformer works with a combination of springs, cables and a movable platform allowing the participant to use the equipment in a variety of postures. It helps correct muscle imbalances and postural alignment. In contrast to traditional exercise machines, the reformer provides a greater range of motion so it can simulate a wide range of everyday and sporting activities. The use of this machine can be beneficial to clients who, due to heath problems, may not be able to do matwork. Reformer classes at TLC Pilates & Fitness may be Individual (private) or in a group. Please contact us for more information. |

Matwork Matwork is a serious of exercises done without apparatus. The flow of movement is the same as when you use machines. Matwork can be continued at home or while travelling without difficulty as there is no recourse to equipment. Pilates matwork utilizes the “core” or abdominal muscles, and it features moves lying on the back, sides, stomach as well as standing. As you progress, you can integrate small apparatus, such as a fitness ball, fitness circle, weights, resistance bands or foam rollers, to increase the difficulty of the work. Matwork classes at TLC Pilates & Fitness may be Individual (private) or in a group. |
