At Cornerstone Clubs, our New Hope location features an exceptional Pilates Reformer studio that’s more than just beautiful — it’s a space designed to help you move better, feel stronger, and transform the way your body functions. If you’ve seen Reformer classes listed on our schedule and wondered what makes them different, this post is for you.
What Is Pilates Reformer Training?
Pilates Reformer training uses a specialized machine called the Reformer — a sliding platform equipped with springs, straps, and pulleys that provide resistance and support for a full-body workout. This dynamic equipment allows for a wide range of exercises that build strength, improve flexibility, and develop core stability with low impact on the joints.

The Benefits of Reformer Pilates
- Deeper Core Training
Unlike traditional workouts, Reformer Pilates targets your deep core muscles with precision, leading to better posture, stronger abdominal and back muscles, and improved balance. - Low Impact, High-Result Movement
Reformer exercises are gentle on your joints but incredibly effective. Whether you’re recovering from an injury, managing chronic pain, or simply want a safer way to build strength, Reformer Pilates delivers powerful results without the wear and tear.
- Full-Body Conditioning
Every movement on the Reformer involves coordination, control, and engagement from multiple muscle groups. You’ll tone, stretch, and strengthen all at once, creating a lean, balanced physique. - Increased Flexibility and Mobility
Reformer Pilates emphasizes lengthening muscles while strengthening them, helping improve mobility and prevent injuries — especially important for aging adults or those with tight muscles from other workouts. - Personalized Attention in a Boutique Environment
Our Reformer classes are intentionally kept small, ensuring you get personalized guidance and form correction from highly trained instructors. The focused attention you receive is part of what makes these sessions so valuable.

Why It’s Worth the Investment.
Pilates Reformer classes are priced separately from general membership for a few key reasons:
- Specialized Equipment: Reformers are high-end machines that require space, maintenance, and training to use effectively.
- Expert Instruction: Our instructors are specially certified in Pilates Reformer techniques, offering a higher level of expertise and personal coaching.
- Small Group Format: With smaller class sizes, you get a more customized, semi-private experience that feels closer to personal training than group fitness.
This isn’t your average workout — and that’s the point. When you invest in Reformer Pilates, you’re investing in quality movement, expert coaching, and results you can feel from head to toe.
