Reformer Pilates is highly effective in toning, lengthening, and stretching the muscles in a low-impact routine with controlled and repetitive movements.

Super stretching can effectively improve mobility and support your fitness goals. Our passive stretching exercises increase the blood flow and power your muscles to perform better as it is a combination of Thai massages and Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) stretching. Super stretching improves your flexibility faster than self-stretching. It prevents muscle injury and reduces muscle soreness, making you feel more relaxed. It also recovers muscles after exercise so you can feel re-energised to do your workouts the following day.
