I’ve been doing it for years and the hype is true. Stronger core, better posture, increased flexibility, a more balanced body composition, deep sense of mindfulness
The only downside is how ridiculously $$expensive$$ it is, but most studios offer new clients specials and/or class packs at a discount.

I recently fucked my back up. It was sudden, unexpected, painful, and now I’m stuck with it. Mending it on an infinity loop of physical therapy, cortisone shots, heating pads, and now: Reformer Pilates. It’s reshaping my body and is one of the few exercises I can do at length without cursing my back out for giving up on me at 30. I can’t do mat, personal thing really, but highly recommend everybody get on a reformer at least once. It’s a strange sensation at first, working out laying down, but once you get into the rhythm of the movements and ride the breathwork wave, reformer pilates is powerfully healing (and strengthening). Also it’s kind of a lazy girl's hard workout.

If you’re depressed and need a reason to get out of bed, being forced to take care of something other than yourself helps. Worked for me.
