Introducing The Fit Reform
Pilates Reformer vs Reformer fitness

What is The Fit Reform?
Launching in Fall 2025, The Fit Reform is a dedicated Reformer studio currently operating inside The Fitness Room Halifax as we finalize our permanent home.
We bring you the best of both Reformer worlds:
- Pilates Reformer – taught by certified Pilates instructors, rooted in traditional Pilates principles to build strength, alignment, and control.
- Reformer Fitness – a resistance training, flexibility, and conditioning class performed on the Pilates Reformer. This class draws inspiration from Pilates but is not a Pilates class—it’s a dynamic fitness experience designed to challenge strength and endurance in new ways.
Is it Pilates?
At The Fit Reform, we offer both Pilates Reformer and Reformer Fitness. It’s important to make the distinction: not every Reformer class is Pilates.
Pilates Reformer was designed by Joseph Pilates and follows specific principles and protocols, taught by certified instructors.
Reformer Fitness uses the same equipment but takes a different approach—more fitness-forward, blending resistance, mobility, and conditioning.
By naming the difference, you’ll know exactly what kind of class you’re stepping into and can choose the experience that best matches your goals—whether that’s the tradition of Pilates or a modern Reformer workout designed to push your fitness further.
