A brand-new Reformer studio is now open at Hartham Leisure Centre, as operator Everyone Active introduces its second dedicated facility nationwide.
Construction work began in January to convert some existing changing rooms into the purpose-built studio, which features 18 Reformer machines.
The £147,000 project, funded by Everyone Active, marks the leisure operator’s second Reformer studio in the region, following the successful launch of their first location in Hitchin.
The addition at Hartham Leisure Centre, which Everyone Active manages in partnership with East Herts District Council, is part of the company’s commitment to expanding innovative fitness offerings for local communities.
Reformer is performed on a specialist machine with adjustable resistance and a moving platform, providing a versatile workout that can be tailored to suit individual fitness levels.
Popular for its ability to strengthen the core, improve flexibility and assist with rehabilitation, the exercise is suitable for people of all ages and abilities.
Dan Humphries, Everyone Active’s Contract Manager, said: “We’re hugely excited to unveil Reformer to Hartham Leisure Centre and make this versatile workout accessible to the local community.
“Since opening last week, we’ve already seen an incredibly positive response from local residents. Reformer truly is for everyone, whether you’re just starting your fitness journey, looking to enhance your routine, or recovering from an injury. The Reformer machine’s adaptability ensures sessions can be as gentle or challenging as needed, making it an ideal option for people of all ages and fitness levels.”
The new studio provides two class options to cater to varying fitness levels:
- Reformer FitCore: FitCore focuses on full-body strengthening using Pilates inspired movements. These classes offer an accessible introduction to Reformer for all abilities.
- Reformer Ignite: Aimed at participants seeking a more advanced workout, Ignite incorporates full body training at a higher intensity. Sessions can be adapted to individual fitness levels and goals.
