Your personal instructor, Ali Hartland, has a career as a dance and fitness professional spanning over 25 years. She has studied the Pilates technique for many years (both mat and reformer) and as a qualified instructor is delighted to bring Reformer Pilates to you, within the beautiful boutique Sanare Spa in Tarporley.
So what is a Pilates Reformer?
The Pilates reformer, or Universal Reformer, is one of the most recognisable pieces of Pilates apparatus available. Joseph Pilates created it when he was an intern on the Isle of Mann at the beginning of the twentieth century and used the springs on the hospital beds for resistance exercises to help heal and strengthen the injured soldiers.
It was developed over time into the Reformer Pilates machine. The Reformer is highly adaptable and it’s possible to perform over 500 different exercises!
Who is the Reformer for?
The equipment may look daunting but the workout is incredibly accessible and is for people who simply want mindful but strengthening movement, those trying to avoid injury, post-rehab clients who want to return to healthy activity and mature adults who want to make getting out of bed easier.
It can be done by any age, used for all body types/sizes and levels of fitness/mobility. It’s made up of low-impact, core-activating movements that are as much about awareness of the body as it is about balance, flexibility, mobility and strength.

‘Everybody is one hard decision away from having a different life’ – make the decision to look after yourself and your body learning and practicing Reformer Pilates with Alison. ‘The Pilates method teaches you to be in control of your body and not at its mercy’ – Joseph Pilates
Recently, reformer Pilates has found itself increasingly in the mainstream consciousness. One of the biggest reasons for this is that, as a society, we are unfortunately more sedentary than ever.
The prevalence of poor posture, musculoskeletal disorders and back pain is at an all-time high. People are turning to Pilates, both reformer and its mat-based counterpart to fix these issues and free themselves from pain. Joseph Pilates taught the importance of complete coordination of the mind, body and spirit, underlining the importance of these systems working together.
