Why Reformer Pilates and the Wunda Chair are the Perfect Pair

Pilates has been around for years (a century to be exact) and it’s currently having it’s well deserved moment, especially Reformer, but have you met it's smaller (yet mighty) sibling, the Wunda Chair? On their own, they’re amazing, but together they’re the dream team for building strength, balance, and flexibility.

The Reformer

The Reformer is the Pilates equipment everyone falls in love with. The springs and carriage bed give you just the perfect mix of support and resistance, so you can work deeply and challenge your body all whilst moving smoothly with support. It’s brilliant for targeting the muscles that go unnoticed, improving posture by helping you find centre and focus on your positioning, and increasing mobility, finding length you never knew you had. The Reformer is adaptable whether you’re new to Pilates or a seasoned pro, a transitional piece of equipment for wherever you are in your Pilates journey.

Last week, I took my first reformer class and I had an amazing time. I was really comfortable because the instructor was very patient with everyone and explained the techniques in great detail. The studio was a great peaceful and beautiful place for working out.

The Wunda Chair

The Wunda Chair may look simple, I mean it was originally designed to be both apparatus and furniture, but don’t be fooled, it’s a powerhouse! Initially created to make functional resistance training accessible, the Wunda Chair truly tests your body’s ability to remain stable and balanced through movement.  Exercises are mostly done standing or seated, meaning your core, legs, and upper body are challenged in a functional way (aka, the kind of strength you actually use in daily life). Although it requires a little more demand from the senses it will be the perfect addition to your Pilates practice.

I do reformer Pilates with The Reformer Studio, and adding the Wunda chair here has challenged me in new ways. I’m really noticing improvements in my posture and discovering smaller muscles I didn’t even know existed! I genuinely look forward to every class. Highly recommend!

Combined,  Reformer and Wunda Chair Pilates create magic. Where Wunda gives you that strength and power boost, Reformer balances it out with flow, alignment, and flexibility.

So if you’re ready to take your Pilates to the next level, think of the Wunda Chair and Reformer as the perfect pair. One is great, but together? You’ll be unstoppable.
