Santa Barbara Athletic Club stays true to Joseph Pilates’ original Reformer-based Contrology Method, yet is modernized with group practice and expanded state-of-the-art equipment. Pilates is one of the most effective physical conditioning methods available. It uniquely strengthens core musculature to enhance your body’s innate ability to move. The improved and corrected movement patterns you learn in Pilates can guide you in your workouts as well as your daily life. No matter what your fitness goals are or what sports you play, you can bet that greater core strength, flexibility, and overall control of the body will benefit you.

Group Reformer
Our Group Reformer classes offer all of mat Pilates’ core-building benefits and much more, but in a personalized and safer workout. With the pulley and spring system, you will achieve better posture and coordination than you would with a classic fitness core routine. In these workouts, you will target your whole body, working from the feet up. The movements strengthen, lengthen, and firm your lower body and torso; and your back and other stabilizing muscles, which are often left out of traditional fitness core workouts, will also be also exercised. The adjustable resistance assures faster results as you become stronger and more proficient. You will progress from reclined exercises to ones that put less of your body surface on the carriage, relying more on your own strength and coordination to execute the moves.
