equipment (e.g., reformer)

Equipment like a reformer is a specialized machine used in Pilates to enhance exercise effectiveness. It typically consists of a sliding carriage, springs for resistance, ropes, and bars, allowing for a variety of controlled, low-impact movements. The reformer helps improve strength, flexibility, balance, and posture by providing adjustable resistance tailored to individual fitness levels. It enables precise targeting of muscles through controlled motion, making workouts safer and more effective. Used in physical therapy and exercise settings, the reformer offers a versatile platform for both rehabilitation and fitness enhancement.
