Reformer Pilates, known for its use of controlled resistance through adjustable springs and pulleys, has seen a surge in popularity among male celebrities. Sheeran now joins the ranks of Jack Grealish, Andy Murray, Tiger Woods, LeBron James, and David Beckham, all of whom have incorporated Pilates into their fitness routines.
Fitness experts highlight the benefits of Reformer Pilates, emphasizing its low-impact nature and effectiveness in building muscle without straining the joints. Sol Scheinmann, founder of Pilates Matters, explains, "It's low-impact, meaning it's kind to your knees, hips, and spine, but it also delivers serious strength-building benefits, making it an ideal alternative to high-intensity interval training (HIIT) or traditional weightlifting."
Scheinmann encourages newcomers to give Pilates a try, noting, "Starting any new workout can feel intimidating, but Reformer Pilates is designed to meet you where you are." She advises beginners to start with foundational classes to learn proper form and become comfortable with the Reformer machine.
As more individuals seek effective and joint-friendly workout alternatives, Reformer Pilates continues to gain momentum, with Ed Sheeran's recent participation further spotlighting the trend.
