Maintain your familiar fitness routine during your family holiday at Moar Gut or take the opportunity to discover something new. Our Reformer Pilates Studio has been open for over a year and has become a favourite among both hotel guests and locals alike. Our class schedule includes Balance sessions for beginners, which are performed at a slower pace using only body weight. For those looking for a greater challenge, our Burn classes incorporate additional equipment such as Bala rings and dumbbells to intensify the workout. In today’s blog, we explore the benefits of Reformer Pilates and explain why these fitness sessions have become so popular with our guests.
Reformer Pilates is a modern approach to classical Pilates, performed on a specialised piece of equipment known as the Reformer. The machine consists of a sliding carriage, adjustable spring resistance, ropes, and straps, creating a highly versatile workout that simultaneously improves strength, stability, flexibility, and body control.
The Reformer’s adjustable spring system allows each exercise to be tailored to individual fitness levels while effectively challenging the muscles. Unlike conventional gym equipment, Reformer Pilates engages entire muscle chains rather than isolating individual muscle groups. Every movement is performed with precision and control, placing a strong focus on activating the deep core muscles. These muscles support the spine, improve posture, and enhance overall movement quality in everyday life.
Reformer Pilates works almost every muscle group in the body, with particular emphasis on the abdominal muscles, back, legs, glutes, and shoulders. The smooth, flowing movements create a balanced full-body workout while placing minimal stress on the joints.

“I’m from Großarl and join Sophie’s class once a week. What I love most about Reformer Pilates is not only the physical challenge, but also the opportunity to focus entirely on myself and my body. And of course, the location here at Moar Gut is truly special. The beautiful mountain views make every session even more enjoyable.”
