I love how you explain all exercises not just movement but also what they are for and what muscles are working. Thank you!
Glad this video has helped :)
I have to say, this is the best online Pilates video I’ve watched. I do Pilates regularly at a studio but just got a home reformer. This was a wonderful video! Thank you!!
Thank you for your comment and feedback, we're so glad you're finding this video helpful :)
I’m 😊
Best instructor ever! I learned so much! I got a Pilates machine for Christmas and didn't know all these exercises. Pure awesomeness. Pilates is perfect for us who can only do low impact exercises.
So glad this was helpful Jana!
This is an excellent video of a beginners workout. Most beginners wouldn’t stand on a reformer right away but everything else is spot on. I’ll be sending this to people who keep asking me what machine based Pilates is all about.
How wonderful! Thank you for sharing with your community!
Wow 😯 I love how helpful you are guiding her through these exercises. She’s literally doing so well
Glad you found this video easy to follow!
Excellent video. I would say that I think most folks who are thinking about starting reformer pilates would benefit from some hands on instruction. Especially for those who may have certain body limitations. I had lumbar fusion surgery about 1.5 years ago. I was working with a PT who happens to has a background in Pilates and their office has a pilates instructor. I'd kind of been looking for some kind of guided training regimen and my PT thought Pilates would be good for me. The Pilates instructor knows my back history and has really guided me. Demonstrates new exercises, corrects my body position, etc. It's been a truly transformative experience for this old man. But I think I could of hurt myself if I just started trying to use a reformer on my own. I'm 70 and doing many of the exercises demonstrated in this video.
Thank you for your comment and we are glad you are enjoying reformer Pilates!
Excellent instructor ! Looking forward to buying a Reformer to start at home
I do agree that this is the greatest, detailed and well explained pilates ever. Thanks a million.
Thanks for your comment Manou! Glad you liked this video!
The cues, the sequence and the instructor make this the best Pilates Reformer class online 👏 🤩💐💪🏾
Amazing! Thank you for your comment, glad you're loving this video!
This is excellent! I haven't done pilates in 17 years. We just purchased a reformer for the home and I was nervous about finding a video that would work for me as a beginner. This video was exactly what I needed! Thank you!
How great!! Glad this video helped, enjoy your new reformer!
Thank you so much for this video. I started my very first reformer Pilates session today at the gym, at 62 years of age after having open heart surgery 12 months ago. I struggled a bit as I wasn’t shown how to put the straps on my feet. When I managed to get it on (not this way) I was able to do the exercises. But at times struggled to get them on and did not do the workout. I wasn’t going to go back but this video has been so helpful.
Thank you for your lovely comment, we're so happy to hear this!! Glad it has been helpful for you :)
Excellent instructor!!
VERY good, very well explained.
Restarting after covid and now have my own pilates reformer - this video is most excellent.. ty very much. cheers
Glad you enjoyed this video :)
I watch many pilates videos and I have to say that Align Pilates Video is informative and easy to understand. If you have a reformer, it is a good instructional video to follow if trying new exercises.
Thank you!
This is an amazing workout. I'm a newbie and have enjoyed following along to all the exercises. Would love it if you did a second workout that followed on after this one! Pretty please?
Hi Indra, thanks for your comment! Unfortunately we don't have a video to follow this one, but check out our Workouts & Exercises playlist for more exercise ideas you can do on your reformer.
I use this video every morning! Thank you very much!
We're so glad you enjoyed it :)
EXCELLENT INSTRUCTOR🌸
Fantastic guide video.
My first time using a Pilates reformer machine which I got as a gift and this video has just allowed me to experience a great works out and stretch.
Ill be aiming to use it regularly!
Thanks again
Fabulous! Glad you enjoyed this workout video!
You are too good.. my English is poor so can’t able to right so many things. I just want to say your teaching is amazing I am a big fan off you.
You've got it! Thanks for watching and following along :)
Very well done thank you, I took my first class at a local studio and no assistance at all so this is a big help!!!!!

Glad you enjoyed this video Alison :) Thank you for your comment!
Thank you so much. Love the accent btw
Excellent instructor!! Been away from Pilates studio so starting at home with a reformer. Great session!
Thank you so much! I love it❣️
We're glad you like it!
This was a great workout! I finally got a reformer for home and I'm happy to be able to exercise again after a year of not feeling comfortable going to the gym. Thank you!
Where did you get your reformer from??!!!
@@darnishashari2174 I think it was target. Amazon and maybe Walmart had them too but Target was the best price at that time.
I really want to try this one tomorrow. Great workout.
Go for it :)!
Absolutely wonderful 👍
Glad you liked it!
Wonderful pilates teacher teach explain clearly easy to understand I never learn online like this before super fantastic wonderful video love ❤️

You're very welcome! Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you so much for your video i’m the beginning and you help me to understand more about movement of the body while exercising, i have no reason to not subscribe ❤
Thank you so much for your comment! I'm so glad that this has been so useful for you :)
Nice class
Excellent! Viewing before my very 1 class awesome !! Thank you🙏🏼💕
Amazing! Glad you enjoyed this video :)
That was so good. 🎉 thank u.
We're so glad you enjoyed this video! You welcome!
Enjoyed the workout and how she managed to do the push through at the end on the reformer. The arm circle comment was weird, but I loved the push through.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks. What my studio should be teaching
Glad it gave you some ideas :)
@@AlignPilatesHQ more than just an idea for me. My studio beginner class is more like walking into a night club and doing different dances to the same song, with none able to hear what is being said :) Great for those who know what they’re doing, not so great for beginners, you don’t have a clue! Thanks again
Love it!
Glad you enjoyed this video!
Thx for the video🎉
You welcome, thanks for watching!
I am fairly new to reformer pilates and have found this to be the most helpful, instructional video yet. I would love to know the levels of your colors though so I can relate it to my machine which has 3 different colors.
That's so great to hear, glad you found this helpful! Please see below spring colour in relation to spring tension based on the Align-Pilates reformer.
Yellow - Extra Light
Blue - Light
Red - Medium
Green - Strong
Hope this helps!
Omg this awesome I saw a machine I’m definitely going to buy.
How exciting!!
Thanks
You welcome! Glad you enjoyed this video
❤
I am going to do Pilates next week and just seeing what u can do
Amazing!
@@AlignPilatesHQ Hi, so 2 reds and a green would be 3 reds? My machine doesn't have green
I’ve bought my own reformer and love this instructor. The only thing is I don’t know the colour springs mine are different so I have to guess but anyway love this instructor.
Hi there, I have listed our spring key for you.
Extra light - Yellow Spring
Light- Blue Spring
Medium- Red Spring
Strong- Green Spring
@@AlignPilatesHQ thanks so much
May I know the instructor’s full name please? Best instructor I have ever seen
Hi there, Unfortunately we don't know Charlottes full name as she was working with a different team 4 years ago.😞 So sorry
Great explanation, I was just destructed by the model's untied hair
I'm glad you found it useful :)
I would be very glad if you could correct the setting so that we can translate your video. If you do, please let me know so that I can watch it again and understand it.❤❤❤
Hi, you can do this by clicking on enabling Subtitles in the video, then Settings > Subtitles > Auto-translate > and you can pick the language. Hope this helps!
❤ ✅
great video but i have 1 red, two green and 2 yellow springs had to guess what springs you were using i thought the machines are universal, finally got my own reformer at home after going to a studio.
How exciting, now you can workout any time at home! Glad you liked this video!
If you are using the Allegra reformer what color spring would you use for the Green spring?
Hi Cindy, the green spring on the Align-Pilates reformer is equivalent to a strong spring.
knee stretches and elephant are always exercises i shy away from teaching in class , think because its very subtle to feel and not challenging enough.. i want to tho,, How would you progress knee stretches/ elephant for the more advanced? Great explanation btw xx
Hello! I suggest reaching out to a Pilates reformer instructor who can assist you in advancing your knee stretches. I hope you found this video enjoyable!
Love this video, are there more with the same instructor?? ❤
Glad you enjoyed this video Erin! Unfortunately we don't but we have a few 40-50 min workout videos on our channel if you wanted to check those out!
@@AlignPilatesHQ great thanks a million ❤️
I love this tutorial! I. My pilates reformer has a fixed foot bar that does not tilt and the board is not raised. Can I still perform most of these exercises? TIA
Hi Caz, this workout was designed for exercises on a reformer 42cm from the ground to the top of the bed. I'm sure you can perform most of these exercises in this video but you'll note, for example; some exercises such as standing by the reformer would be impacted by a different height reformer. For any adjustments, we would recommend contacting a local Pilates teacher.
What is the follow up to this video. I liked it very much. Thank you
Unfortunately we don't have a follow up from this specific video, however we have a playlist called 'Workouts & Exercises' for similar reformer workouts up to 1 hour long.
I have a Merritew reformer and the colors are different (red and blue). I wish you could specify light or heavy springs, instead of going by color....
Please see below spring colour in relation to spring tension based on the Align-Pilates reformer.
Yellow - Extra Light
Blue - Light
Red - Medium
Green - Strong
Hope this helps!
does Cristina have a channel or anywhere she has other workouts?
Hi Codie, currently this is the only video we have available with this instructor. We have other exercise videos available with other Pilates reformers instructors on our channel if you want to have a look!
Are we able to purchase this specific pilate machine? What is the brand if we can and where can we purchase it? Thank you
Hi Cheryl, yes its from Align-Pilates! This is the C2-Pro Wood Effect Reformer that has been discontinued as we have upgraded it to the C2-Pro RC: align-pilates.com/products/reformers/commercial-reformers/c2-pro-rc-pilates-reformer/. However, if you like the Wood Effect finish we have the C8-Pro Wood Effect here: align-pilates.com/products/reformers/commercial-reformers/c8-pro-pilates-reformer-wood-effect/. In terms of purchasing this reformer, where are you based? As we have distributors all over the world that you can get in touch with directly: align-pilates.com/distributors/.

How do we get more lessons of Christina she was very good and I can’t find any more classes from her ?
Unfortunately we don't have any more videos from Christina, but we have a few workout videos up to 50 mins on our channel if you wanted to check them out :)
@@AlignPilatesHQ Thank you
So I just had a baby (well 3 months ago) I’m both the most fit person nor athletic would you say someone like me can do it or it is better to start a different route
Hi there! Unfortunately we won't be able to advise on this for you, we would recommend speaking to your local Pilates teacher for advice/guidance.
My shoulders feel like they jam up against the shoulder pads when doing this. It hurts. Does this mean the i should lower the spring resistance?
Hi there, we are only equipment specialists so we wouldn't be able to advise, please seek a medical Professional :)
Can I watch more videos from teacher Christina??? Where can I find??
Currently this is the only video we have available with this instructor. We have other exercise videos available with other Pilates reformers instructors on our channel if you want to have a look!
Which reformer is used on this video and where can I purchase the same exact one?
The exact reformer in this video has been discontinued, it was a C2 Wood Effect, however we have alternatives.
The upgraded version is the C2-Pro RC: align-pilates.com/products/reformers/commercial-reformers/c2-pro-rc-pilates-reformer/ but if you wanted the same look of the wood effect, we have the C8-Pro Wood Effect available: align-pilates.com/products/reformers/commercial-reformers/c8-pro-pilates-reformer-wood-effect/.
Hope that helps! Please feel free to contact us at +44(0)1386 425 923 or sales@align-pilates.com if you have any further questions!
@@AlignPilatesHQ thank you
Thanks so much. Just a question if I may?? I have herniated discs in my lower back. I got through this easily without irritating it. How long should I stay perfecting this before I try and move up the levels?? Thanks in advance 💜
I’m really glad you enjoyed our video and was able to get through the workout. I’m afraid we wouldn’t be able to advise on individual goals & workouts as we’re equipment specialists. I would advise speaking to either Pilates teachers or physios who will be able to tailor workouts & programmes based on your rehabilitation & goals.
Which model reformer are you using in this video?
Hi Diana, the reformer used in this video is the C2. Here is a link to our latest C2 model: align-pilates.com/products/studio-pilates-reformers/c2-pro-rc-studio-pilates-reformer/ :)

Can you lose belly fat using Pilates? I have my first class tomorrow
Diet is most important. Pilates will tone your body. Def will help with belly fat.
Well said Graciela :)
Is this safe for someone with sciatica?
So sorry but I'm afraid we wouldn’t be able to advise on this as we’re equipment specialists. I would advise speaking to either Pilates teachers or physios who will be able to tailor workouts & programmes based on your rehabilitation & goals.
@@AlignPilatesHQ hello thank u for the response!
Can pilates help shoulder tennis
Reformer Pilates can be beneficial for improving shoulder strength, flexibility, and overall stability. However, we would recommend to consult a certified Pilates instructor who can offer you tailored advice in the case of tennis shoulder.

Why are these benches soo expensive like £5000 expensive:(
Hi there! We have a range of reformers on our website starting from £1,250 if you wanted to browse and sort by price: align-pilates.com/product-category/reformers/?orderby=price
Its ridiculous for normal person . Go to gym !
It is about finding what's best for each individual. Luckily our equipment is available in gyms too, to find a balance between both 😁
