REFORM8 PILATES
Get Leaner and Stronger Muscles
REFORM8 Pilates
Utilizing a Pilates Reformer equipment, this class combines dynamic movements that aim to strengthen and lengthen the muscles. It’s more upbeat and energizing! Not your usual Pilates experience – REFORM IT!
One of the key benefits of Reformer Pilates is its ability to target and strengthen the deep stabilizing muscles of the body, including the core, pelvic floor, and back muscles. The resistance provided by the springs on the reformer requires controlled and precise movements, engaging multiple muscle groups simultaneously. This helps to improve overall body strength, muscle tone, and posture. Additionally, Reformer Pilates promotes flexibility and joint mobility through its emphasis on lengthening and elongating the muscles.
In DEFIN8 we make sure that each and every one in a group class can choose their own intensity – whether you are a beginner, experienced or advanced. It’s your workout, it’s your choice.
INFRARED REFORM8 Pilates
Hong Kong’s First Infrared Reformer Pilates Class
In another innovative move, Defin8 Fitness has launched Infrared Reformer Pilates group classes, becoming the first and only studio in Hong Kong to offer this unique and highly effective fitness option. Combining infrared light with Pilates helps to quickly loosen the muscles, effectively reducing warm-up and recovery times and allowing for a wider range of motion, up to three times more flexibility, and a more robust routine during the class.
Infrared technology creates invisible light rays that penetrate 1.5 inches beneath the skin and heat the core of the body. Studies have shown that incorporating infrared light into exercise is a safe, dynamic way to boost the benefits of a workout. By gently heating the body from within, infrared light boosts blood circulation and oxygenation, resulting in a deeply detoxifying sweat session that naturally rids the body of toxins. The internal heat created by the light supercharges the body’s anabolic processes to help build muscle mass and supplement the growth and mineralisation of the bones.
Infrared technology is especially well adapted for use in group fitness classes. These specialised heaters warm people and certain objects, instead of heating the air the way conventional heaters do. And, especially notable for those concerned about climate change, because infrared heaters use 100 percent of the heat they produce, they are significantly more energy-efficient than any other type of space heater.
