Longer, leaner muscles! A tighter looking and feeling stomach! Flexibility, control, stability, and good posture! You’ll be checking off all these To Do list items after a few sessions of Cyclelates and any of our exclusive Pilates reformer classes. We’re still in month one of 2013, so come by our Hollywood personal training studio to work out that New Year, new you mantra!
In our Cyclelates classes, the unique hybrid dedicates a workout on the Pilates reformer for just 35 minutes prior to another twenty minutes of cardio on the bike. Over a few weeks of class you will begin seeing and feeling all kinds of strengthening and elongating body changes for sculpting a slim, fit and sexy body!
Here are a few fun facts about Pilates Reformer classes.
1. Reformer training hard core works your abdominals -- from all angles. Taking the crunch to a whole other level, our Pilates reformer drills increase oblique and transversus abdominus activation.
2. Pilates reformer challenges not just your main muscles, but also your stabilizing muscles in a way that traditional weight training doesn’t. Because we want our muscles looking longer and leaner vs. short and bulky, we choreograph different sequences of drills on the reformer each day. The variation also helps in the reshaping of your muscles while also building core strength, posture, agility, flexibility, and lean muscle tone.
3. Reformer vs. Mat: The Battle. Matwork Pilates rock a perfectly awesome workout, but Pilates Reformer, pants down, glutes-flexed is a truly energizing, physique-changing workout. This isn’t a meditative, relaxing practice. Reformer workouts are challenging and target your powerhouse muscles (abs, lower back, hips and buttocks) using pulleys and springs to create resistance. At our Hollywood personal training studio, we have 14 reformers. Our classes are almost always packed, so book online or come early!
