| - I have been a member at Reformed for about 10 months now and I absolutely love it! I had tried group fitness at boutique studios (barre, yoga) in the past, but never got hooked. Reformed separates itself from the pack by providing an intense workout that also is fun and engaging. The pilates classes are small (10 reformers), so you get individualized attention from the trainers. I had never tried pilates on a reformer until I started at Reformed, and honestly, I was a bit intimated to try it out, but I am so glad that I did. The trainers are very helpful with making adjustments on your form, and they encourage you to get the most out of your workout. What I enjoy most about the pilates classes, and Reformed in general, is that it feels personal. The trainers know each client by name. Everyone at Reformed is genuinely invested in your progress and making sure you see results.
The studio also offers cycling, including 30 and 45 minute rides. I have taken spin at other studios locally and in LA (Madison, Soul Cycle, Cycle House, and Flywheel), but Reformed is by far the best! Their bikes are not the cheap kind you find at some of those other studios. They are Keiser bikes and have a screen that shows you the results from your ride, which allows you to see actual improvement in your strength and speed from ride-to-ride. The spin room provides an amazing atmosphere. The music is awesome and the trainers are motivating. I am a distance runner by trade, and generally took spin at places like Madison or Soul Cycle because I thought it was fun, but I never felt like I got a great workout. This is not true at Reformed--no tap-backs, no jumping up and down on the bike, no bullshit. You will work hard; you will sweat. So, if you want an intense, but low-impact cardio workout, then you must try Reformed!
