What are the best reformer Pilates studios in the Santa Clarita Valley? (Updated for 2024)

Performing Pilates on a reformer machine activates every muscle fiber in the body for a comprehensive mind-body workout. Because of how comprehensive it is, Pilates has become an incredibly popular form of exercise.

In this article, we will share with you where you can find the best reformer Pilates classes in the Santa Clarita Valley, a description of the facility, and the cost of the classes. Read on to learn more.

What is a Pilates reformer machine?

The Pilates reformer is a piece of equipment designed by Joseph Pilates that looks like a bed with springs. It has a sliding carriage, ropes, and pulleys. 

People can do a wide variety of exercises on the reformer by pushing or pulling the carriage or holding the carriage steady. You can perform the exercises lying down, sitting, or standing.

Reformer Pilates classes are proven to build strength, flexibility, coordination, and balance, which makes them a perfect workout for people of all ages and abilities.
