An intimidating machine, a catchy name and a promise of visible results. Episod’s Reformer Strong transforms Pilates into a high-level workout. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n

A Pilates version of intense strengthening<\/h2>\n\n

From June 2025<\/strong>, the Episod<\/strong> chain is rolling out its new Reformer Strong<\/strong> course in Paris. The concept? Mix the basics of Pilates Reformer<\/strong> with the techniques of weight training<\/strong> and functional fitness<\/strong>. The result: a more dynamic, more targeted and, above all, more intense session. A trend inspired by Californian studios that’s taking Instagram by storm. <\/p>\n\n

“Strength, motor control and mobility<\/strong>” is the promise. The session is divided into three parts: <\/p>\n\n

    \n
  1. Stability and posture<\/strong> to consolidate muscular foundations.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Power block<\/strong> with explosive machine movements.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Core training and mobility<\/strong> to improve joint amplitude and optimize recovery.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n

    A combo designed for demanding sportsmen and women, but also for those weary of conventional training.<\/p>\n\n

    Why is it so appealing?<\/h2>\n\n

    The answer can be summed up in one word: efficiency<\/strong>. This Pilates 2.0 activates deep muscles<\/strong>, boosts coordination<\/strong> and is part of a major current trend: the muscle\/mobility hybrid<\/strong>. No need to lift extreme loads: here, the Reformer works for you<\/strong>, or almost. <\/p>\n\n
