Getting Back to the Core: The Six Principles of Reformer Pilates

Too often, we forget what it's really all about. In a world overflowing with fitness options— HITT, Yoga, Indoor Cycling, TRX, Weightlifting—it’s easy to lose sight of the deeper why behind our practice. Don’t get me wrong: all of these have their value, most even offered at Revive Studio and we love them. However, they’re not Reformer Pilates.
Reformer Pilates stands alone in how it integrates mind and body through precision, breath, and purposeful movement. It’s more than a workout—it’s a way to reconnect with yourself on every level. And sometimes, we need to strip it all back and return to the basics: the six principles that define and elevate the practice—Breath, Concentration, Centering, Control, Precision, and Flow.
These six principles are not just theoretical. They’re the backbone of every effective Reformer session. They guide you, challenge you, and, ultimately, Revive you.

Far-Infrared Halotherapy

Have you visited our
Far-Infrared Sauna at
REVIVE STUDIOS?

Many of our customers have gotten a much-needed reprieve, sitting in our comfortable zero-gravity chairs, closing their eyes, and relaxing while enjoying all of the benefits of halotherapy in our salt cave in Budd Lake. Many asked for heat and a sauna. We added a separate room with a sauna. The sauna has a bit of salt, not as much as the salt cave and den, but enough to get the benefits of halotherapy (salt therapy).

In case you forgot, halotherapy therapy benefits can be found here.

REVIVE STUDIOS has opened a second location in Chester, NJ, with two Halotherapy Far Infrared Booths.
What is Far-Infrared and what can I expect from these booths?

Let me explain.

Pilates & Golf

Contrary to popular belief, golf and Pilates have a lot in common, and some distinct differences.

Pilates and golf involve the entire body - from twisting your body on a swing, picking up a golf ball, or taking a Reformer or Mat class at Revive Studios, you are strengthening and lengthening every single muscle in your body.

Are you scheduling self-care?
Like it or not, we have entered 2021 and things seem terribly similarly to 2020. The days are long and we are all wondering the same question, “When will this end?” I find myself scheduling self-care into each day to decompress. Self-care is described as purposefully acting on improving your physical, mental, and/or emotional health.

Exercise & Grief

Posted on: May 28th
“Good grief!” is not just an expression Charlie Brown uses regularly; especially with the current state of affairs.

I have unfortunately found myself repeating that specific quotation a little more frequently. My two cats, Lucky and Spice, passed away within 5 days of each other. Lucky was thirteen years old, and Spice was eleven years old. They were companions with me throughout many of life’s adventures and will be dearly missed.

Exercise & Positivity

But exercise can improve your mental outlook and physical health in significant ways. For increased wellbeing, motivate yourself with these 3 easy tips. It can make all the difference in your day!

What to Eat Before and After A Workout

As a Weight Watchers Reimagined Coach, I am often asked about eating before and after a workout. Contrary to popular belief, your body needs fuel to workout. Have you ever wondered why marathon runners "carbo-load" the day before they run?! Your body needs something to burn.

Pilates Reformer Training for Lacrosse Athletes

Lacrosse training is not like prepping for an exam, students can’t cram it in days before the season starts. Still, there is a way to level the playing field – Pilates Reformer training.
