Re:form Flow + Chair
This class is taught by:
Shaun Farnsworth
Shauns’ love of rhythmic movement became his path to fitness. An opportunity to teach and train aerobics instructors led him to teach in Germany and Switzerland for several years. Back in the states, his career as a professional dancer continued his passion. As he has gotten older, his search for functional excersise made it clear that pilates was the natural next step. The idea of a form of excercise that includes core strength, flexibility and rhythmic movement inspired Shaun to get certified to teach Pilates. His approach is a little more athletic with a dash of laughter and good humor. « If you can’t laugh while your crying…. What’s the point?

Reformer + Chair + Props
Our signature fitness-style Reformer class!
Formerly called Re:form School, these classes are designed to target your core stability muscles, while improving overall muscle tone, strength, alignment and flexibility. Regular attendance will increase your mobility, alleviate joint pain, and enhance athletic competence through proper form, breath, and muscular function. You will develop a deepening awareness and activation of intrinsic core postural muscles, reforming your body from the inside out!
This class is a fun, fiery and flowing core strengthening workout you will become addicted to! We combine Pilates mat warmup work with everyone's favorite apparatus - the Reformer + Pilates props. In addition you will begin to fall in love with The Chair, and the balance challenge it offers. Your heart rate will be elevated while getting toned, lengthened and flexible.
No class is ever the same...
We mix and match classical and contemporary and keep you flowing seamlessly through various Pilates exercises on the Reformer + Chair + Props (Re:form West Room), and Reformer + Wall Tower + Props (Re:form East Room). You will tone, sweat and transform yourself into a longer, leaner, flexible body while having lots of fun!
An efficient, effective, and safe workout for every body...
Appropriate for all levels, however we recommend Re:form School 101 if you are brand new to Pilates or coming back after inactivity or injury. Modifications and progressions will be provided, but not appropriate for those with injuries or special needs. (55 minutes, 5-10 max capacity)
Learn to "work the springs" and improve your daily life through better stability and strength!
Learning to work the springs provides a unique opportunity to work all muscles and limbs individually and in tandem, giving you feedback to better understand how your body moves. This understanding will allow you to activate deep into the powerhouse transverse abdominal muscles, finding and correcting imbalances. These improvements in proper core muscle recruitment and development translate to an improved Pilates practice and better posture in general.
