Why Choose Reformer Pilates for YOUR Teen

​​

  • Building Core Strength
    Pilates builds core strength. For teens, developing a strong core is crucial for overall fitness, maintaining proper posture (specially with carrying their heavy back packs!), preventing injuries, and supporting athletic performance. A strong core helps stabilise the body and improve control over movements,which are essential during the physical changes of puberty. A strong core will support their growing spines, reducing the possible development of Scoliosis.​

  • Posture and Body Alignment
    Teens go through growth spurts and may experience poor posture or back discomfort due to muscle imbalances. Reformer Pilates emphasises proper body alignment and posture, focusing on spinal flexibility and strength. These exercises help correct poor posture habits created from hours spent sitting at desks or using electronic devices.​

  • Flexibility and Range of Motion
    Adolescence bodies are naturally more flexible, and this flexibility needs to be maintained to prevent stiffness and injuries. Reformer Pilates targets flexibility in the upper and lower body, improving joint mobility and muscle elasticity. Regular practice enhances range of motion, which is vital for teens involved in sports.

  • Injury Prevention
    Reformer Pilates is a low-impact exercise, it reduces the risk of joint stress and injury while still providing an effective workout. For teens, this is especially beneficial as they are often involved in various sports and physical activities.
