Reformer Pilates studios have popped up around the country as Kiwis get behind one of the world’s fastest-growing fitness practices. But at-home reformers can provide the same benefits without the inconvenience of studio schedules and locations.
Freedom Pilates’ co-founder Cath Julius, a physiotherapist who has been combining rehab and Pilates for more than 20 years, says there’s been a huge shift over the past decade.
“Ten years ago, few people had heard of reformer Pilates. Now they’re realising how versatile it is for so many different goals and people. The natural progression is that more people are considering whether having a reformer at home is a good option, and for many people, it is.”
Home Pilates reformers offer a new model: one purchase replacing ongoing membership fees. “While I believe in studio classes, many people can get the same benefits at home with on-demand video and high-quality products,” says Cath.
A home reformer removes the friction points. There’s no commute, no planning around class schedules, and no pressure to commit to lengthy sessions. Your studio is open 24/7.
Freedom Pilates offers studio-quality reformers and on-demand classes tailored to the needs of Kiwis: mobility, strength, and a deeper connection to your body.
While cheap at-home options made of plastic are tempting, they can’t give you the same long-term benefits. Freedom Pilates reformers are built for longevity – yours and the tool’s – and low-impact movement that supports the body through every stage of life.
Pilates at home is about moving better, more often – on your own terms.
