I donโ€™t want you to become really good at following instructions without understanding what youโ€™re doing.

I want you to know what youโ€™re trying to feel, why weโ€™re doing something, and what changes when it doesnโ€™t feel right.

So there are a few things I really want you to tell me in class:

๐—œ ๐——๐—ข๐—กโ€™๐—ง ๐—จ๐—ก๐——๐—˜๐—ฅ๐—ฆ๐—ง๐—”๐—ก๐——.
If something Iโ€™ve said hasnโ€™t made sense, thatโ€™s on me. Itโ€™s my job to find another way to explain it.

๐—œ ๐—–๐—”๐—กโ€™๐—ง ๐—™๐—˜๐—˜๐—Ÿ ๐—ช๐—›๐—”๐—ง ๐—ฌ๐—ข๐—จ ๐— ๐—˜๐—”๐—ก.
Useful information. It doesnโ€™t mean youโ€™re doing it wrong.

๐—ง๐—›๐—”๐—ง ๐—™๐—˜๐—˜๐—Ÿ๐—ฆ ๐—ช๐—˜๐—œ๐—ฅ๐——. ๐Ÿคจ
Also useful. We may need a little more detail, but itโ€™s a perfectly good place to start.

๐—ง๐—›๐—”๐—ง ๐—™๐—˜๐—˜๐—Ÿ๐—ฆ ๐——๐—œ๐—™๐—™๐—˜๐—ฅ๐—˜๐—ก๐—ง ๐—ง๐—ข๐——๐—”๐—ฌ.
Tell me. Whatโ€™s changed can be more useful than whether something simply feels hard.

๐—œ ๐——๐—ข๐—กโ€™๐—ง ๐—ง๐—›๐—œ๐—ก๐—ž ๐—ง๐—›๐—œ๐—ฆ ๐—œ๐—ฆ ๐—ช๐—ข๐—ฅ๐—ž๐—œ๐—ก๐—š ๐—™๐—ข๐—ฅ ๐— ๐—˜.
Fine. We can change the setup, spring, range, cue or exercise. Iโ€™m not emotionally attached to any of them. ๐Ÿ˜

๐—ช๐—›๐—ฌ ๐—”๐—ฅ๐—˜ ๐—ช๐—˜ ๐——๐—ข๐—œ๐—ก๐—š ๐—ง๐—›๐—œ๐—ฆ?
Please ask. You deserve to know what weโ€™re actually trying to achieve.

And if you need a break, take one. You donโ€™t need to prove anything to me.

I can see a lot from the outside. I canโ€™t feel what youโ€™re feeling from the inside.

A little unnecessary professional transparency.

Apparently there are a few things Iโ€™ve been keeping from you.

Nothing serious.

Mostly selective demonstrations, strategic pauses, questionable internal monologues and the occasional use of feet in straps as conflict resolution.

No further questions at this time.

A 2025 randomised controlled trial by UluฤŸ & ร–zeren looked at 54 women with persistent low back and neck pain.

They completed 45 minutes of Reformer Pilates twice a week for 6 weeks โ€” just 12 sessions.

The Reformer group improved in:

โ€ข pain
โ€ข fear of movement
โ€ข fatigue
โ€ข sleep quality

Pretty encouraging. ๐Ÿ’™

Itโ€™s not the only research either. Larger reviews have also found Pilates can help with pain and disability in people with persistent low back pain.

Does that make the Reformer a magical back-fixing machine?

Sadly, no. ๐Ÿ˜‚

But it does mean back pain doesnโ€™t automatically mean avoiding movement โ€” and Reformer Pilates can be a really adaptable way to get started.

At Equilibrate, classes are small and exercises can be changed to suit you.

Our lead instructor, Lucy, is a Level 4 Pilates teacher with Level 3 GP Exercise Referral, Level 4 Low Back Pain, Level 4 Strength & Conditioning and Level 4 Sports Massage qualifications.

So if youโ€™ve been thinking:

โ€œIโ€™d love to try Reformer Pilatesโ€ฆ but Iโ€™m not sure my back would cope.โ€

You might be more capable than you think. โœจ

Some Pilates exercise names are perhaps a littleโ€ฆ optimistic. ๐Ÿ˜…

Some sound soothing. Some sound straightforward. Then you find yourself shaking on a box, trying to coordinate four limbs and a breathing pattern, and wondering whether anybody checked the name before it was approved.

Teaser, to be fair, is at least honest. ๐Ÿ‘€

If youโ€™re new to Pilates and none of these names mean anything yet, donโ€™t worryโ€”we explain everything. The questionable naming system comes free.

It begins with a perfectly reasonable set of instructions.

Then your arms and legs are doing different jobs, one side is moving while the other stabilises, youโ€™re trying to control the carriageโ€”and apparently youโ€™re also expected to continue breathing.

Suddenly right has become left.

Left has become your other left.

And somebody has briefly called an ankle an elbow.

Sometimes itโ€™s the client.

Sometimes itโ€™s the instructor.

We wonโ€™t be naming names. ๐Ÿ˜‚

No judgementโ€”we have watched entire rooms temporarily lose all sense of direction together.

We feel we should clear this up.

Every so often, somebody gets dragged along by a friend or partner who has reassured them:

โ€œDonโ€™t worry. Itโ€™s basically stretching.โ€

Four minutes later, the springs are involved, something is shaking, and they are looking at both us and the person who brought them as though a serious breach of trust has occurred. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Yes, Pilates can help you explore your flexibility and mobilityโ€”but it also trains strength, control, coordination and muscular endurance.

The apparatus can assist a movement, resist it, support itโ€”or make a very small movement feel unexpectedly personal. ๐Ÿ˜…

You donโ€™t need to arrive strong, flexible or experienced. Everything can be adapted and youโ€™ll be fully coached throughout.

โ€œAll levelsโ€ does not mean everyone performing exactly the same exercise, in exactly the same way, at exactly the same pace.

In the same class, one person might use a different spring setting, another a smaller range, and someone else may be ready for more load or coordination.

The exercise might be the same. The strategy doesnโ€™t have to be.

Nobody is behind. Nobody needs to keep up. And there is no prize for choosing the hardest option and regretting it three repetitions later.

Our classes are limited to six so we can coach the people in the roomโ€”not simply deliver a choreography.

Different bodies. Different starting points. Same aim: helping you move and do things better.

Yes, you. ๐Ÿซต

Hovering near the booking link and wondering whether Pilates is actually for you.

Then Instagram or TikTok shows you someone performing the splits on a moving Reformer while balancing on one hand, and you quietly reconsider.

Donโ€™t panic. Nobody is going to ask you to audition for Cirque du Soleil.

You donโ€™t need to be flexible, strong, coordinated or already know which spring does what. Our classes are small, fully coached and adapted to the people in the room. Weโ€™ll explain the equipment, teach you the movements and give you options as you go.

All ages. All abilities.

Book the class. Weโ€™ll take it from there.

Progress in Pilates rarely arrives as one dramatic transformation.

Itโ€™s usually quieter.

The exercise that feels a little less impossible.
The spring that suddenly feels manageable.
The balance you catch instead of lose.
The day your body simply complains less.

Every session will not be your best session. It still counts.

Keep showing up. The small changes add up.
