REFORMER PILATES
Reformer Pilates has grown in popularity for its highly effective yet low-impact approach to fitness. Using a specialised spring-based machine, Reformer Pilates strengthens, tones, and improves flexibility in a safe and targeted way.
Suitable for almost everyone — men and women, beginners and athletes, clients of all adult ages — Reformer Pilates was originally developed by Joseph Pilates for dancers and athletes recovering from injury. Today, it remains one of the most rewarding methods for developing core stability, improving posture, and deepening body awareness.
At Permai Pilates Penang, we offer Beginner Reformer focused on fundamentals and Intermediate Reformer with more challenging, strength-based variations. In every class, you move at your own pace, adjusting resistance and building on a guided sequence.
We encourage you to spend the 50 minutes fully present, focused, and open to challenge. You’ll feel amazing afterwards — trust us.
CHAIR PILATES
Chair Pilates is a dynamic, full-body workout using the Wunda Chair to build strength, balance, stability, coordination and control.
With its smaller base of support, the Wunda Chair demands greater precision and balance than many other Pilates apparatus. The adjustable springs add resistance and feedback, challenging you to control each movement with intention.
Chair Pilates requires an understanding of fundamental Pilates principles and movements, so we recommend starting with a few Beginner Reformer classes first.
At Permai Pilates Penang, you’ll work the legs, hips, core, obliques, spine, arms and shoulders through a varied and challenging sequence designed to build full-body strength and control.
Come ready to be challenged. Leave feeling stronger, more balanced and in control.
TOWER PILATES
Tower Pilates combines traditional Pilates mat exercises with the apparatus work traditionally found on the Cadillac. Using the Tower, you’ll work with the Push-Through Bar, Roll Down Bar, and Springs to assist, challenge and deepen your movements.
The Tower offers opportunities to work on spinal articulation, mobility, alignment, core strength and control in ways that aren’t possible with mat work alone. The springs also require greater refinement, precision and independent control on each side of the body, helping you identify and work through differences in strength, stability and coordination between your left and right sides.
At Permai Pilates Penang, our Tower Pilates class is essentially a Cadillac-inspired group workout. This is an intermediate-level class and is best suited to clients who have completed a few Beginner Reformer sessions and are comfortable with the fundamental Pilates principles and movements.
Take this time to reconnect with your body, move with intention, and enjoy the journey.
