The technique, which involves the use of a specialised machine with pulleys, straps, and a foot bar, focuses on the core, lower back, and overall mobility.<\/p>\n<p>The benefits of reformer Pilates go beyond general fitness, making it ideal for people with joint or mobility issues. \u201cThere\u2019s less impact on the joints, so it\u2019s suitable for older people and if you\u2019re recovering from injuries,\u201d says Ronan, noting that their oldest client is 75.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>For athletes, reformer Pilates has long been a staple in strength and conditioning programs. \u201cIn places like Australia or America or even England, with a sports team, like a professional sports club, you would be using the reform as kind of part of your strength conditioning program, and using prehab and rehab for athletes coming back,\u201d Ronan adds.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>RMG Fitness was one of the first gyms in County Louth to embrace reformer Pilates, making it a unique draw for the local fitness community. While other studios are now beginning to offer similar services, RMG\u2019s long-standing expertise, led by reformer Pilates specialist Siobhan Rogers, sets it apart. \u201cSiobhan is the reformer Pilates guru in this place,\u201d Ronan explains.<\/p>\n<p>Read Next:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dundalkdemocrat.ie\/news\/local-news\/1971655\/ardee-deserves-better-councillor-disappointed-at-omission-from-living-cities-initiative.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">&#8220;Ardee deserves better&#8221; &#8211; Councillor disappointed at omission from Living Cities Initiative<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Beyond the technical offerings, Ronan reflects on the personal connections he\u2019s built over the years.
