What to expect for your first session

Welcome to The Reformer Lounge

We’re so glad you’ve found us.

Whether you’re brand new to Reformer Pilates or returning after a break, you’re in the right place especially if you’re ready to challenge yourself, reconnect with your body, and commit to getting stronger, more mobile, and more in control of how you move and feel.

At The Reformer Lounge, we don’t believe in quick fixes or passive movement. This is about showing up for yourself and doing the work. Change happens when you move with intention and stay consistent. We’re here to guide you, but the strength, flexibility, and resilience? That’s yours to build.

During the Session

This is a space for focused, intentional movement. You’ll be guided clearly, but you’ll also be asked to engage, explore, and challenge yourself. That’s where the results live.

We’ll meet you at your level but we’ll also invite you to step forward from there. Every exercise can be adjusted to your body and goals, but don’t mistake “supportive” for easy. This is where strength is earned.

After Your Session

Take a moment to feel the difference and know that this is just the beginning. Progress comes with consistency, so don’t wait too long to book your next session.

FAQs

I’ve never used a Reformer will I be OK?

Absolutely. Many of our clients are new when they start. We teach you how to move safely and effectively but you’ll need to stay present and committed. Trust the process and give your body time to adapt.

How sore will I feel after?

You may feel muscles you haven’t met before that’s a good sign. Expect post-session awareness, not pain. If anything feels wrong, speak up but don’t be afraid to feel challenged.

Still Have Questions?
