Same exercises, but each apparatus tells a slightly different story!
The Reformer meets you where you are. The Chair asks more of you. Here is how we decide which one is right for each client.
Footwork 🦶🏼
The Reformer offers more space in the knees, hips, and ankles for clients who need room to move. The Chair challenges you to stay upright, and it is a great option for anyone who lacks the hip or knee rotation needed for a Z-sit.
Mermaid 🧜🏼♀️
The Reformer uses spring feedback to create length. If you are working on your tall back and side bending, this is where you build the foundation. The Chair version is seated and upright, which means your hips have to work harder to stay grounded as your spine reaches. It is one of the best ways to train lateral flexion without compensation.
Hamstring Curl 🦵🏼
The Chair puts you on your back, giving direct feedback on what your hips are actually doing. If you tend to lift or tuck on the Reformer, the Chair helps you feel and fix that, and makes the oblique connection easier to find when the hamstrings kick in.
Never tried the chair? We would love to introduce you!
