Studio Reform Pilates

Monday, March 16th- Definitely one of the saddest days I’ve had in awhileClosing the studio was heartbreaking for me. I think I speak for a lot of small business owners when I say that we are tenacious, that we are always trying to make something work and that we don’t want to ever give up or throw in the towel. Can we get more disinfectant wipes? Can we reduce our class sizes even more? Can we mop 3 times a day instead of 4? I know all of my fellow studio owners were do...ing all of these things and more just to try to last one more day. It became clear to me when I was teaching that we needed to shut down. The energy and vibe has so shifted so much in the last few days & it’s left me thinking, I don’t even know why I am teaching right now?So much has happened day by day & hour by hour that was so unpredictable to all of us and so now we have to do what we can to stop the spread and flatten the curve. I think I am just so in shock with how quickly things moved! I am not worried about coming back, I know we will come back stronger than ever & I know all our clients will come back because they are like our family and they are amazing! I guess I’m just sad because I look at this empty space filled with reformers ready for a class that won’t take place. So instead let’s all focus on staying healthy and shifting our priorities to think about stopping this thing on a global level! Thank you to all my amazing teachers & clients you are the best friends anyone could have!! STAY WELL until we meet again on the reformer!! Xo Amy See more

Just flowin’ around the reformer. I’ve been loving this flow lately because it keeps you moving! The transitions are quick, spring changes are minimal & of course it includes some of my favorite props (the magic circle & @bala weights) . . . . #pilates #pilateslove #pilatestime #pilatescardio #reformerpilates #pilatesreformer #studioreformpilates #studioreform #studiolife #pilateseverydamnday #pilateslovers #fitness #sandiegofitness #fullbodyworkout #functionalfitness #pilateseveryday #pilateseverydamnday #supportyourlocalstudio #supportlocal #balancedbody #reform #workoutflow #hillcrestsandiego #seeyouonthereformer #pilatesgirl #refomo

Check out this awesome series from instructor, Alana, AKA @laamcakes The @balanced_body ActivMotion Bar at @studio_reform_pilates is such a fun mix up It’s a hollow steel bar filled with these little balls that turn on your stabilizer muscles reallllll quick. If you don’t keep it level, it’s gonna LET YOU KNOW. Plus, the @bala bands, because why not? And sometimes it feels good to just MOVE A nice assist on my lateral flexing on the end range - A gentle weighted pull

Go Alana Go!!! Sometimes you just gotta throw an ankle weight (or@bala bands which are basically Pilates jewelry, so beautiful) on and get to movin’ I love efficiency with springs. I love flow. And I love a good prop. Whatever feels good in your body is the answer

Sometimes You just see something awesome and think I Gotta try that! Well today was one of those days!! thanks @omeganthree for this challenging combo ( which you make look so easy by the way) we are so lucky to have such fun creative teachers!! . . . . #pilates #pilateslove #pilatestime #pilatescardio #reformerpilates #pilatesreformer #studioreformpilates #studioreform #studiolife #pilateseverydamnday #pilateslovers #fitness #sandiegofitness #fullbodyworkout #functionalfitness #pilateseveryday #pilateseverydamnday #supportyourlocalstudio #supportlocal #balancedbody #reform #workoutflow #hillcrestsandiego #seeyouonthereformer #pilatesgirl #refomo #strengthen&lengthen #tone&tighten #breathe #Flow #reformerflow #allegro2 #sdfitness

This is Jennifer! A Pilates lover & dedicated student! She even stays after class to work on her moves! Here she is performing Semi Circle ( quite beautifully I might add) Special thanks to @autumnleigh for guiding her through & filming If there is something you want to work on let us know, we are here to help!

Seamless TRANSITIONS. This is something I strive to work on in every class that I teach. As someone who has taught Vinyasa yoga for many years, transitions are always super important to keep the class flowing. However....teaching a group class on the reformer (in my opinion) is a WAAAYYY harder then on a yoga Mat! You have foot/hand loops, moving footbar, different spring tensions and a multitude of different props!! it might be challenging to teach but I’m always up for ...that challenge because when it all works out seamlessly (& it doesn’t every time) it just feels like an effortless flow! . . . . #pilates #pilateslove #pilatestime #pilatescardio #reformerpilates #pilatesreformer #studioreformpilates #studioreform #studiolife #pilateseverydamnday #pilateslovers #fitness #sandiegofitness #fullbodyworkout #functionalfitness #pilateseveryday #pilateseverydamnday #supportyourlocalstudio #supportlocal #balancedbody #reform #workoutflow #hillcrestsandiego #seeyouonthereformer #pilatesgirl #refomo #strengthen&lengthen #tone&tighten #breathe #Flow #reformerflow #allegro2 #sdfitness See more

We LOVE our new loop/handle combos from @balanced_body!!!! 1 padded long loop + 1 short handle is the perfect combo Sam @pilates.and.pineapples is demoing several different arm exercises using the short handles. We’ve had these babies for a little over a month now & the verdict is in...Everyone Loves them!!! Come pop by the studio to give them a try! Big shoutout to @balanced_body for coming up with this genius combo! . . . . #pilates #pilateslove #pilatestime #pilatesc...ardio #reformerpilates #pilatesreformer #studioreformpilates #studioreform #studiolife #pilateseverydamnday #pilateslovers #fitness #sandiegofitness #fullbodyworkout #functionalfitness #pilateseveryday #pilateseverydamnday #supportyourlocalstudio #supportlocal #balancedbody #reform #workoutflow #hillcrestsandiego #seeyouonthereformer #pilatesgirl #refomo #strengthen&lengthen #reformerflow #allegro2 #sdfitness See more
