We’ll miss you, see you on Monday!🧡

Reformer Pilates lovers! (You’ll want to stick around till the end🎁) It’s been a while since we engaged solely with our Facebook community and we wanted to reintroduce ourselves…

We are Runway Pilates, a leading Reformer Pilates studio in Manchester and Cheshire. You can find us located in Alderley Edge, Altrincham, and Manchester City Centre.📍

We pride ourselves on our quality teaching from instructors with a wealth of experience, and our growing community of clients who we encourage to challenge themselves and be their best selves!🧡

Together let’s build our Facebook community back up again, we’ll be giving a FREE class to anyone who comments ‘Reformer Pilates’ on this post🤗

Things we would win gold medal for:

Kristen - Most use of the fitness circle during class 😮‍💨
Charlotte - Most likely too have the springs too heavy on the manchine when doing a demonstration so the carriage won’t move 🫢
Beth - Never giving in on glute exercises until clients 🍑’s are burning 🔥
Darcey - Making clients arms and shoulder cry during class😢
Ellie-Mai - Killing you sofly during class😇
Suzanne - Maintaing exercises until the clients are pulling faces 😵‍💫
Alicia - Killing clients off with pulses… to then make them hold the exercise…🥵

Overall, lots of killing… we promise we can do kind too, come and see for yourselves!✨

If the England team were our clients…🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Men - Stop⚠️

There’s a reason footballers (and other professional athletes) incorporate Reformer Pilates into their routine - in fact, there are many reasons why…

💪 Enhanced Core Strength and Stability
Reformer Pilates targets the deep core muscles, crucial for stability and balance.

🕺Improved Flexibility and Range of Motion
The exercises promote dynamic stretching and flexibility, which reduces the risk of muscle strains and injuries, allowing players to move more freely and efficiently.

🧖Injury Prevention and Rehabilitation
Reformer Pilates involves low-impact, controlled movements which are gentle on joints and muscles, this helps prevent injuries, such as hamstring strains and knee issues, and aids in the rehabilitation process, promoting quicker recovery.

🏌️‍♂️Better Balance and Coordination
Pilates emphasises precise, controlled movements, which helps improve balance and coordination.

🏋️Muscle Symmetry and Strength
Reformer Pilates provides a full-body workout, engaging both large and small muscle groups - preventing imbalances which can lead to injury.

🏃Increased Endurance and Stamina
Reformer Pilates builds muscular endurance through sustained, controlled exercises.

🫁Enhanced Breathing Techniques
Reformer Pilates incorporates controlled breathing with movement, enhancing cardiovascular efficiency and stamina, helping players perform better and recover faster during and after games.

To name a few.

So next time you dismiss Reformer Pilates as a ‘workout for women’, remember why Christiano Ronaldo does it…⚽

1. Alicia: ‘My dog obviously🫶🏻’
2. Claudia: ‘I have two… chilling with my son👶🏻 and dance 💃🏻’ (sorry Claudia I had to pick the dance photo because WOW 🤩)

Feedback from our Runway community🥺

It's so important for us that Reformer Pilates is instructed with the correct Pilates principles, as taught by Joseph Pilates (with a little bit of science backed research since 20th Century). We love that our clients can see this reflected in the way we teach.🧡

Like many amateur photographers, I do occasionally experiment with editing

Our camera roll after International Women’s Day🙌🏻💗

For we threw a pink party at all of our studios - this included Pilates, Prosecco and lots of pink outfits🤗

It was wonderful to see so many incredible women and men join together to celebrate!🎉

The vibes were just as amazing as the pink leg warmers 👀✨

We asked our members what improvements they had seen since joining Runway - here’s what they said🙌🏻

Improved core was certainly a hot topic within the responses & we love that you’re seeing the results you want🤩

Many people also mentioned improvements to their mental health and well being, which is really important to us as Pilates extends beyond physical fitness.

It’s amazing to hear the results you’ve seen at Runway and we are delighted to be a part of your journey💗

We get it, Reformer Pilates can look like something from 50 Shades of Grey! Those Reformers can seem quite daunting!! However, once you get past this, the Reformer offers a wide variety of benefits and challenges that everybody and everyone can benefit from.🥰

What is a Reformer?🤔 It's a specialised piece of Pilates equipment created by Joseph Pilates in the early 1920’s. It consists of a sliding carriage, springs, and straps. The resistance can be adjusted to suit different fitness levels.

A consistent Pilates practice can offer benefits to everybody. Whether you’re simply looking to start a new fitness routine or an experienced athlete looking to enhance your training, Reformer Pilates creates a strong foundation of flexibility, mobility, strength, and balance… enabling you to embrace your inner Superhero!🤩

There’s nothing quite like a fresh pink gym set🤩
