Mat vs. Reformer Pilates: Which is Best for You?

25 May Mat vs. Reformer Pilates: Which is Best for You?

Mat Pilates uses your body weight and a mat—simple, effective, and accessible anywhere. It builds core strength, control, and flexibility. Great for beginners and those wanting to focus on fundamentals.

Reformer Pilates uses a spring-loaded machine to add resistance and support. It’s incredibly versatile—great for injury rehab, deep strength work, or taking things up a notch. You get more precision and challenge in your movements. You can add as much resistance as you like or even use the springs to assist a movement in the beginning.

So, which is best?
???? If you’re new, recovering from injury, or want to master control—Mat is a great place to start.
???? If you want support for joints, variety, and a full-body challenge—Reformer is a game-changer.

✨ Both are amazing—it depends on your goals, body, and preferences! Want help deciding? Let’s chat at Physio Fit Studio.
