Summer’s the Perfect Time to Start Reformer Pilates

Summer Escapades

Want to stay active, pain-free, and strong enough for the life you love — from playing with your kids to catching waves? Discover how Reformer Pilates at Tunu Space can help you move with ease this summer and beyond.

There’s something about summer that makes us want to move more freely — to get outside, stay active, and say yes to plans without wondering how our body will cope.

At Tunu Space Pilates, we see this shift every year. It’s not about chasing a fitness goal. It’s about reclaiming the simple joy of movement. And it often starts with a quiet question:

“Could I feel better than this?”

Here are three real stories from people who found their answer on the Reformer.

Maeve, 62: Moving With Her Grandkids Again

When Maeve joined us in early spring, her goal was clear — she wanted to spend more time playing with her grandkids. But after years of desk work and an old hip injury, even a short walk left her stiff and sore.

“I used to dread getting down on the floor to play,” she said. “Because I knew I’d struggle to get back up.”

After a few weeks of Reformer classes, things started shifting. Her hips loosened, her core felt more stable, and she started moving with more confidence — without even realising it.

“Last weekend I ran after my grandson in the garden and didn’t even think about my hip. It just felt… easy. I can’t tell you how good that felt.”

Liam, 39: Back to the Surfboard After a Shoulder Injury

Liam’s story is one we hear often — an active guy, big into surfing, sidelined by injury. A torn shoulder tendon had him out of the water for nearly a year. He came to Pilates not quite convinced, but open to trying something different.

“I didn’t want a punishing workout — I just wanted to get strong again, without making things worse.”

What surprised him most was how targeted the Reformer was — how it helped him rebuild strength and mobility without pain. Six months later, Liam’s back in the sea and says he feels stronger and more balanced than before the injury.

“Pilates made me more aware of how I move — not just on the board, but day to day. That awareness is a game-changer.”

Aisling, 46: Finally Free From Nagging Back Pain

Aisling had tried it all — physio, yoga, stretching, you name it — for her low back pain. Nothing stuck. She found Tunu Space almost by accident after a friend dragged her to a class.

“I honestly thought it was just stretching on a fancy machine,” she laughed. “But after the first session, I felt like my whole body had been realigned.”

Within a month, the back pain that had plagued her for years began to ease. Today, she says it’s mostly gone — and what’s more, she now understands why it was happening in the first place.

“Pilates gave me my body back. I didn’t expect it to change so much, but here I am, pain-free and stronger than I’ve felt in years.”

Why Reformer Pilates Works

Reformer Pilates isn’t flashy. But it’s powerful.

It builds strength from the inside out, targets muscles you didn’t know you had, and improves the way your whole body moves — not just in class, but in life. Whether you're lifting toddlers, loading suitcases, or getting back to sport, the Reformer helps your body support you better.

And summer is a beautiful time to start — not because it’s a fitness season, but because it’s a season of doing. Being outside. Saying yes to adventure. Feeling good enough to join in.

At Tunu Space, we keep it calm, focused, and friendly. No pressure. No competition. Just space to move, breathe, and feel better in your body.
