Curious how Pilates stacks up against your usual workouts? Here’s the real talk: reformer Pilates might just be the missing piece in your fitness routine.
Reformer vs. Strength Training
Pilates uses resistance, too—but with control, core focus, and low impact. Expect long, lean muscles without the joint stress. Instead of lifting heavy weights with momentum, you’re engaging muscles in a precise, mindful way that builds endurance and stability.
Reformer vs. Yoga
Both build flexibility and mind-body connection, but Pilates adds targeted toning and dynamic movement that leaves you feeling sculpted and strong. If yoga is your stretch-and-zen practice, Pilates is your tone-and-align power hour.
Reformer vs. HIIT
High-intensity workouts are great for cardio, but they can be hard on the body. Pilates gives you results without burnout—and it complements high-impact training beautifully. It’s the perfect restorative balance to a go-hard gym schedule.
Why Reformer Wins
It’s smart. It’s efficient. It works muscles you didn’t even know you had. Reformer Pilates challenges your core, improves posture, boosts flexibility, and builds strength—all in one low-impact workout. And when you do it at Be Kind Studios? You get all that, plus a vibe that makes you want to show up.
Less “no pain, no gain.” More “be kind to your body and watch it thrive.” Join us for a class to experience the Be Kind Pilates difference. You can find us in West Hollywood, Calabasas, and Malibu (coming soon!).
