What to wear to a Reformer class

Simple, practical clothing advice for Reformer Pilates, so you can focus on the class.

Zeal Shah, founder of Pilates Studio By Zeal®, works with the straps on a Reformer

You don’t need special kit for Reformer Pilates. A few simple choices make the class more comfortable.

Clothes

  • Fitted clothes that move with you, such as leggings or fitted shorts and a fitted top. Loose clothes can catch on the springs and straps.
  • Avoid zips, buckles and hard buttons, which can press into you when you lie down or scratch the equipment.
  • A light layer for the start of class, which you can take off as you warm up.

Feet

Ask your studio what to wear on your feet, for example grip socks, before your first class.

Hair and jewellery

Tie long hair back so it stays clear of the headrest, and leave long necklaces and loose bracelets at home or in your bag.

What the studio has

Every studio has a changing room and a hydration area, so you can come straight from work and change there.
