One-to-One Reformer Pilates in Chorley

Build strength, improve mobility and move with greater confidence with personalised one-to-one Reformer Pilates sessions from Ruth at Pilates by Ruth.

Sessions take place within the Summit Physio premises at David Lloyd Health Club in Chorley, but are provided and managed independently by Ruth.

Whether you’re new to Pilates, returning to exercise or looking for a different way to develop strength and control, sessions can be tailored around you.

What Is Reformer Pilates?

Reformer Pilates uses a specialist piece of equipment with a sliding carriage and adjustable spring resistance.

Exercises can be adapted to suit different levels of experience and can be performed lying, sitting, kneeling or standing.

The Reformer can be used to work on areas including:

  • Strength
  • Core control
  • Mobility
  • Balance
  • Movement control
  • General fitness

Because sessions are one-to-one, exercises can be adjusted around your individual ability and goals.

One-to-One With Ruth

our sessions are delivered personally by Ruth from Pilates by Ruth.

Working one-to-one allows Ruth to adapt the exercises, resistance and difficulty around how you move and what you want to achieve.

This isn’t a standard group class where everyone follows the same routine.

The focus is on creating a session that works for you.

What Can Reformer Pilates Help You Work On?

Reformer Pilates can be used to develop a range of physical qualities.

Core Strength

Many Reformer exercises challenge the muscles that help control and support the trunk. Rather than focusing purely on traditional abdominal exercises, the emphasis is on maintaining control while the rest of the body moves.

General Strength

Adjustable resistance allows exercises to progressively challenge different muscle groups. This can include: - Legs - Glutes - Core - Back - Shoulders - Upper body

Mobility

The Reformer can be used to explore movement through a controlled range and help you work on areas that feel restricted.

Balance & Control

Exercises can challenge your ability to maintain position and control movement.

Body Awareness

Slower, controlled movement can help you become more aware of how your body moves and responds to different exercises.

Confidence

For people who feel unsure about exercise, one-to-one support can provide a more controlled introduction to movement and strength work.

Who Is Reformer Pilates For?

You don’t need previous Pilates experience.

Sessions can be adapted for:

Complete Beginners

If you’ve never used a Reformer before, your first sessions can introduce the equipment and fundamental movements gradually.

Active People

Reformer Pilates can complement other forms of training by adding a different challenge around strength, mobility and movement control.

People Returning to Exercise

If you’ve been away from exercise for a period of time, sessions can be adapted around your current level.

People Looking to Build Strength

Resistance can be progressed as exercises become more comfortable.

People Who Prefer One-to-One Support

If large classes aren’t for you, individual sessions give you more focused guidance and attention.
