The Reformer is the predominant piece of Pilates apparatus, designed to uniformly lengthen the body with gentle resistance.

Classes meet once a week for 8 weeks.
Meeting times include: Mondays at 7:00am or 11:30am; Tuesdays at 7:00am; Wednesdays at 7:00am, 5:00pm, or 6:00pm; Thursdays at 8:00pm; Fridays at 4:30pm; Saturdays at 10:00am; Sundays at 11:00am.
