Where Big Transformations Happen in Small Groups. The Intimate Studio for Infinite Strength. Welcome to Core Reform Holmfirth.
(1)

For five years, we’ve provided an intimate, expert-led space dedicated to supportive Reformer Pilates. My name is Amanda Harpin I have been passionate about fitness, rehabilitation and mental health for all my adult life. I became a Personal Trainer at 40 after meeting a young women trainer in "The Warwickshire" and realizing women trust women and men respect women who understand our physical and mental differences. A few years later I qualified as a Pilates instructor and then a Yoga instructor. More recently becoming a Reformer Instructor and opening a Pilates Reformer Studio in the Village of Holmfirth
I am delighted to be building the trust of may like minded women and men as we explore just how fabulous reformer Pilates is. We are now approximately two thirds women to men as more and more women and men start reforming their over worked over stressed bodies. All bodies of all ages can reform and you are welcome to come and see what it is all about. We didn't get the body we have today overnight and Pilates takes time and consistency to build us and reform us to a healthier, stronger and more flexible person. Also welcoming people who have experienced the Reformer before and those who want to take their fitness or sport to the next competitive level.

MENOPAUSE and Hormones

The magic of the Reformer lies in its system of springs and pulleys, which provides adjustable resistance. This allows women to build lean muscle mass and maintain bone density, both of which naturally decline as oestrogen levels drop during menopause. Because the machine supports the body it strengthens the core and stabilizing muscles without placing excessive stress on joints.
Reformer Pilates is also excellent for stress regulation. Dynamic resistance exercises encourage controlled breathing and high level of focus. This mindful movement activates the parasympathetic nervous system, lowering stress levels and aiding better sleep.

A perfect combination of mind and body for supporting women

Reformer Pilates and the Neurodivergent Brain

Reformer Pilates directly targets the neurological and executive function challenges associated with ADHD. Clinical studies show how these specific exercise mechanics affect an ADHD brain in the following ways

Sustained Attention: Pilates was helping with significant reductions in omission and commission errors. Focus on a single task was longer without their minds wandering off.
Attention Switching: It vastly improved the the ability to smoothly transition between tasks without experiencing “executive dysfunction paralysis”
As no Autopilot Allowed: Reformer Pilates requires you to listen to live cues, monitor spring tension, control a carriage, and stabilize your alignment all at once.
Slowing Down the constant noise inside the thoughts: The ADHD brain is working out with complex, multi-layered movements. This feels like an active meditation. It occupies enough computational power in the brain to completely drown out the internal background noise, leaving the individual clearer and emotionally regulated post-workout.
