High Kneeling Exercises
Chest Expansion - The exercise Chest Expansion is a staple
in the Pilates repertoire. It is considered an intermediate to
advanced exercise because it requires upright balance on the
moving carriage. Clients are facing the riser and the timing as a
client moves and pulls the springs may create instability. When
there is too little resistance, user may pull with too much force,
the carriage will free roll and they may lose balance. Where
there is too much resistance a client may fi nd themselves losing
balance and being pushed forward. Please spot and use caution
until clients are comfortable with the exercise.
facing risers with hands in straps is not recommended as there
is a potential risk of falling and injury.

Ballistic Movements
Ballistic movements result in slack in the straps and a
momentary fl oating of the carriage, an almost feeling of
momentary weightlessness. When the straps become taught
the resistance is reengaged. If not anticipated it may create
stress in joints, a loss of control or balance for the user. Under
no circumstance should the carriage ever bang against the
bumpers or against the back end. Controlling movements is key
to the success of Pilates conditioning and training.
Group Reformer
When teaching group, or taking a group Reformer class,
it is important to ascertain the instructional quality of the
teachers, the value that is placed on solid Pilates foundations
and repertoire and the organizational philosophy on teaching
Pilates. Maintaining Balance, Coordination and Control are key to
successful and safe group Reformer class experiences.
Listening, the Client / Instructor relationship
In order to maximize the positive conditioning of the Pilates
repertoire and Pilates inspired exercises, it is important for client
and instructor to establish a good working relationship based
on mutual trust and communication. If client indicates concern,
caution or general discomfort, it is important to listen, assess and
adapt as needed. Creating an environment for the client to share
their experience on the Reformer will be key to making sure they
are moving within safe ranges of motion, are moving safety and
the exercise choices are effective and appropriate for their body.
Reformer Maintenance
Keeping your Reformer in good condition is key to keeping it
working optimally for you and for your clients. The Safety Guide
document included with your equipment has recommended
schedules for inspection and replacement of wear parts.
Balanced Body also offers an optional maintenance log that you
may fi nd helpful. Please follow recommended maintenance
schedules and practices to optimize your Reformer's performance.
