A total body workout, creatively utilising the Reformer with a variety of props including hand weights, fitness circles and balls to challenge you in unique ways each class. This class is not "intense" in the usual gym way where sweatier is better, where you "push yourself to your limits" or do two more reps than last week. It isn't HIIT or Cross Fit or Boot Camp. This in "Intense" in a completely different way. You isolate and work small muscle groups, engaging your core and building up your posture muscles.
