Why train with a Megaformer?
Training with a Megaformer provides rapid improvements in muscle strength, muscle definition, balance and flexibility thanks to constant tension and controlled movements.
The unique training method on the Megaformer helps you simultaneously develop muscle strength and endurance. The exercises also stimulate fat burning and significantly improve your posture and body awareness. Regular training results in a stronger, leaner, and more defined physique. Furthermore, using the Megaformer helps prevent injuries by improving stability and muscle balance.
Megaformers for gyms and Pilates studios
Megaformers are ideal for use in gyms and Pilates studios due to their robust construction, flexibility and excellent potential for intensive group classes.
Thanks to its sturdy design and user-friendly features, different users can quickly switch between different exercises and tailor their workouts to their own level. This makes the Megaformer a valuable addition to any gym or Pilates studio offering effective and challenging group classes. Megaformers combine perfectly with other equipment such as Pilates Chairs , Wall Units , Reformers , and Cadillacs for varied and professional workouts.
Difference between a Megaformer and a traditional Reformer
The difference between a Megaformer and a traditional Pilates Reformer is that the Megaformer focuses more on strength, stability and intensity, while a classic Reformer places more emphasis on flexibility and suppleness.
On a Megaformer, you train with constant muscle tension and slow, controlled movements. This leads to deeper muscle activation, improved strength, and faster muscle definition. A traditional Pilates Reformer offers smoother and more subtle movements, which is ideal for developing flexibility and balance, but is less focused on intensive strength development. The Megaformer is therefore suitable for those who want to achieve visible results quickly.
