30-Min Intermediate Reformer Pilates | Strong Arms & Sculpted Abs

Strength isn’t about how much you can lift; it’s about how well you can control the movement. 👏🏼 In this 30-minute intermediate reformer Pilates class, we focus on building athletic upper body strength and deep core control through precision, stability, and intentional resistance. Expect arms and abs work that challenges your coordination just as much as your strength. Welcome to The Purple Reformer! 💜 🌟 What to expect: • Upper body strength + sculpting • Deep core activation • Stability-based reformer work • Athletic, controlled movement patterns • Arms + abs focus throughout • Progressive challenge across the full 30 minutes If you want to keep going, “Reformer Leg Day” rounds out today’s work with a lower body burn.    • 30-Min Intermediate Reformer Pilates | Low...   👉 New classes are added every Monday and Thursday.
