Thank you thank you thank you for not putting any background noise/ music! Instructions detailed and clear, you have such a resonant voice. We can concentrate fully on our movements instead of being aggressed by silly background noise. 🙏🏻
I just absolutely love how you cue exercises - thank you for creating these videos 🙏👏👍😊
Haven’t used my Reformer in probably 8 years! Dusted it off today, did this workout and I remembered why I liked this so much. Great beginner workout for me and I’ll be back for more.
This is really outstanding. I'm trying to get my husband to try Pilates. Your muscles really are firing away! This should change people's minds that Pilates is not just stretching!
I have a pilates gym I ordered from Amazon, same concept just smaller. I guess I'll be using it tomorrow ❤
i just got my pilates machine and am determined to put it to use to strengthen my core and get into better shape. i walk almost every day but definitely find myself weakening with age. findin this workout is a great way to get started, get consistent (i can do 17 minutes a day!!) and work up to more. i already feel stronger thanks a million!!
which one did you buy and are yo satisfied after 8 months now? I am looking for a machine myself. I love pilates. The best in the world.
Immensely helpful. Thank you so much!
Great instruction and description of each movement. Best reformer videos on UA-cam yet! I love how they range from beginner to intermediate and from 10 minutes up. Since lock down Ive been enjoying all of your videos and feel better than I have in a long time! Thank you so much. Stay safe❣️
As a newly trained Stott Pilates instructor, I learn so much about cueing watching your videos. I love that you are so clear and concise and that you have fun in your videos! What a winning personality. Love your dogs, too!
Thank you!
You are awesome! Thank you. I’ve had a reformer for some time now and am glad I found your channel.
Great video! I have a reformer. I haven't found a good work out for it with good instruction. I have to say this is the BEST video that explains how to start working out on the reformer and also which muscles to keep engaged etc! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
Awesome! Thank you!
John is a Master Trainer for Stott Pilates- he is one of the best in the industry! His monthly membership is worth every penny!
Yesterday I purchased and brought home a previously owned reformer and this was my first actual workout. Thank you for proving to me that I did not waste my money!
John you are so amazing I learn a few new exercises every time I see you. Love this!
Thank you, thank you and thank you again John!! I'm recovering from a recent back surgery and even though I've been doing Pilates since 1996 and until an accident in 2008 I was very limber and athletic, I couldn't quite figure out how to stretch my whole body.....and then I saw your beginners workout!! I'm signing off now cause I can wait to try it.....especially the last stretch! Sue
Thank you - hope all goes well. Remember to listen to your body. :)
I've been doing this and the beginner reformer workout #2 of his daily for the past week and it works - relaxing, surprisingly tough workout. This is my stress relief in 2020.
Great to hear! Thank you for watching!
Fantastic!
Great Channel Very descriptive. This guy knows how to teach
Thanks so much for this instruction especially as we’re in lockdown!
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
Superrr trabajo. Gracias x compartir saludos buen fin d semana
I have a reformer but have had no idea what to do. You provide great exercises plus detailed explanations. I love it!
Thank you!
I will beg receiving my reformer this week and this is a perfect beginner reformer workout.
Thank you so much!!!! I love your workouts!
I love your Reformer workouts and your dog!
Thank you!
Great video John! I am 56 yo female watching with my husband and we found your presentation easy and appropriate for our age. Unlike the video I have watched in the past, yours is easy to follow. Hope for more videos like these.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for commenting.
Thank you so much for the great instruction!
Thank you for watching!
Absolutely love this work out. So easy to follow. Thank you for the great instructions.
Glad you like it! Thank you for watching!
Definitely the best Pilates demo that I have seen....
Thank you, that was a wonderful class!!
Hi! I just started pilates classes with a reformer and felt a difference right away. Amazing what this does for the body!
How long did you notice the difference? i wil start mine aslo soon. 😁
@@caselynapolinario5032 Unfortunately, all the pilates clubs are closed right now. Can't wait for them to reopen.
@@caselynapolinario5032 you notice the difference already after 3 times, and see difference after 20 times for sure!
Great beginner and gentle workout to enable me to work up to more. LIke how I don't have to look at the video because you explain it so well. Thanks!!!
Thank you so much!
Excellent instruction!! Love your videos!
I've been having trouble passing my refomer test but, your videos have definitely been a big help!
I'm glad we're helping. Best of luck passing your exam!
Just started Pilates and I am loving it!
Thanks Joe!
Love love love please do more
Thanks Helen. We will be posting about one per week. :)
I love this!! Have a nice reformer sitting in my dining room collecting cobwebs. Haven’t had an instructor here where I live and it always helped.
Sounds great! Join me! :)
Great video! Your explanation through the workout was simple and concise. It was easy to follow without having to look at the screen. Great job!
Thank you!
I'm just starting, so this is an awesome demo.
Thank you!
LOVE IT!! Excellent instruction. Great Muscles :)
Thank you! :)
This is the most comprehensive video for using a home pilates machine. I loved the full explanations throughout the workout. His body is defined as where you can actually see which muscles were engaging during the workout. Thanks for this informative video.!
New and thanks you made it look simple
I’m also mesmerised! Is that an ACTUAL WINDOW behind you?
I’m new to the equipment and this is a nice clear explanation thanks so much.
Thank you john garey tv !!!
Thank you for watching!
WELL DONE! THANK YOU!
thank you so much for this video
Thank you for watching!
I'm new in pilates reformer your class is amazing thank you so much I will be following you
You're so welcome!
Thank you. Love your channel John Garey
Thank you Debbie!
I liked this a lot. It reminded me of my free class at Club Pilates, which is what I've been looking for (and beyond).
A really good beginner reformer work out. I am disabled with a spinal deformity and spinal cord injury, I unable to do most work outs, and the reformer is the best option I found to keep fit. I am fused L3-S1 and C5-7, so I am unable to do any side stretches, but I was able to do the rest of the video. The upper body portion was very difficult, I have no upper body strength, so I will keep working on that area.
Love this workout. I am now a Pilates addict. 😎😎
Thank you 😊
Awesome cueing and form
Thank you!
Very good !!!!!
Thank you!
Great instructor
John that's the first beginner's reformer workout I've ever found "do-able" for me. Thank you!
Thank you! So glad you liked it!
Love this! John is so easy to follow
I just recently got back into doing Pilates but it was more of an incline then I went to another Pilates place and it was the old-fashioned reformer I like that one better then the incline
wow GREAT video - I have a reformer coming soon - thank you so much :) I took about 20 classes a few years ago. excited to get back into it
which one did you buy and are you happy with it?
Great Video John, Silly question but I am just wondering if I should do the same amount of reps per exercise as you are doing here or are you just doing a few to show form? I'm very new to Pilates and have limited flexibility but I love all these exercises!
No answer, I see 🙄
Great video.
I just got back into doing Pilates my first class will be tomorrow.
구독했어염 좋은 영상이 많이 있네요 ! 공부 많이 해볼게요 ^^
Thank you, John. Those with knee issues might appreciate alternative leg positions, for example, ‘mermaid.’ :)
GOOD ~~~~~!!
Oh my Lord 💗 I just purchased a reforming and your videos are just wonderful. May I ask is your body a complete work from the reformer or you do attend a gym for weights? Quite impressive physic.
Wondering same thing!
Hi! This is my favorite one of your videos that I have found so far. Where can I find a longer video that is exactly the same thing or as close to it as possible? Thank you for this free version!
Thanks for this video! New subscriber here
great video. thank you. please send the information on your reformer.
What a great video! so helpful! Thank you so much! ❤
Thank you for watching it!
Thanks so much for an easy to follow instructions and demo. Is this enough time to make a difference or should we do more reps if so what is recommended and how many times a week? thanks again :)
These are meant to be sample workouts. I would aim for 30+ minutes per day of Pilates or some kind of movement to start. And, move every day, but vary what you're doing. For strength training formats, 3-4 times per week - For cardio formats 4-6 days per week. Hope that helps. :)
This is a great introduction to Pilates. I refer working with a trainer because I’d wind up hanging myself
would a reformer work well for double hip replacements?
Eccellente!!!
I possibly have a bulging disc and was thinking of getting back into pilates to build up my core. Can you create tone and muscle like yours from pilates, or do you also lift weights?
Wow, you look so fit - great video - love to know if you give diet advice etc - I want to look as fit as you - great!
love working out with you on my merrithew reformer thanks
Great video. Is that muscle definition all from Pilates, or do you work out with weights also?
Thanks - I'm a fitness nerd - I love everything! Yes - weights too. :)
Im in a trance, staring at the muscle definition in his legs.
Thank you...
The rest is in the same shape!
haha. His calves are great .But I also feel like they are the easiest muscle to build. Mine became defined and like rocks just from living in a place where I had to walk up a hill all the time lol
His whole body is well defined. He's got very little body fat, obviously.lol
John is amazing!!!
Would love to hear a good suggestion for a home reformer for a newbie. Great video, but since I'll be doing this at home I need a quality suggestion. :) Anyone want to chime in?
Hi! Thanks for your comment. I would check out Amazon. Merrithew is the brand I recommend. It a great reformer made really well. They have a bundle for home that you can get - here's the link www.amazon.com/STOTT-PILATES-MERRITHEW-Reformer-Bundle/dp/B004FGT0TM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1534589220&sr=8-1&keywords=merrithew
Best of luck.
John Garey TV thank you!
Would this help with cardio, to build muscle?
I'd like to subscribe, but I have a Peak Pilates Reformer with a trapeze. I am not sure what springs to use. Mine are labeled yellow blue and red. Are the cords labeled the same for all Reformers?
Hello! I have been doing reformer Pilates at a studio for almost a year on and off with the closing during the pandemic. I am looking into a home machine but the spx home reformers don’t have the ability to add the Cadillac. At the studio we used the spring wall. I was wondering if I will feel like I am not being challenged enough without the Cadillac or spring wall? Is the reformer actually enough to challenge the body? Maybe the teachers weren’t utilizing the full potential of the reformer? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Hi there. You can use the Reformer for many many different exercises. A lot of times, we get stuck in the same few exercises. A good program has tons of variety. I do believe that the different pieces of Pilates equipment emphasize different things, but they can all accomplish a full body workout. Hope that helps. :)
great video...extremely helpful. I am thinking to buy reformer at home . Is there any reformer around $1000 range that you would recommend. Can not afford expensive ones.
I got mine from craigslist but I think you can get some on Amazon in that price range.
Love your videos, John. But my knees hurt doing that last exercise .What can I do about that? Do I need to buy knee pads? I hope you write back. Thanks!
That was a great beginning workout and just the right amount of time! Thank you for sharing @John Garry TV
Thank you Roxanne!
How many of these exercises do you recommend? How many reps? And can I do this each day?
Where's can I get this type of reformor machine for exercise
Donde puedo comprar una cama de pilates como la del video si alguien sabe por favor ayuda.
Is there a descent amount of beginner reformer workouts on John Gary TV? Love his teaching style...thanks.
Hi Nicole. Yes, we have dozens of full length, beginner Reformer workouts. We also have a progressive Beginner Reformer Series to help get you started. We hope you'll join us - and thanks for the nice comment! :)
Hi. Can you help me better understand "neutral" alignment? I just did a pilates mat class and was told to cup/scoop the lower abdomen so the navel was pull towards the floor and up and that there is NO space and the was a slight scoop or tilt of the pelvis?
Hi - It can get confusing, and I'm not in agreement with everyone on this for sure. What you described above is a more traditional Pilates position "the scoop and tuck". According to most schools, that is not neutral. Neutral is usually described as have the "natural" curve of the lower spine (lumbar). For most people the lower back would have a gentle curve forward and there would be a small space between your lower back and the mat, but not a forced or exaggerated curve. And, to help hold that position and support your lumbar spine, your abs are engaged on all sides, not scooped, but more like a built in girdle that wraps around the whole midsection and lower abs. I prefer that position for myself, but you need to try both and see which feels better to you. I personally don't think there's a wrong answer here, unless you have issues with your spine, etc. It's really what you're training toward and what feels best in my opinion. Also, there will be different exercises that require or may feel better with different position of the spine and pelvis.
I hope that helps some. :)
Do u think he also does weightlifting. Can you become jacked with doing pilates alone?
Yes- I do - I love every form of exercise. I believe in doing what you love. I don't think you have to stick with one form or another.
Do you think it’s ok to use a total gym or weider Ultimate body works in place of a reformer? On a budget here 😁
I know some people use them for the Reformer workouts, but they're not ideal for a Pilates workout imo. I would research either Balanced Body (they make a great home version and have multiple price points), or Merrithew (which is the brand I'm using), as they also make an affordable home version. If you shop on Amazon or at Costco, you'll get the best shipping options as well.
I just tried this and my machine at the gym has four springs- blue- two yellow and one not marked.
How do I know what is what ?
If the machine is on the floor, is there a leg stretch I can do?
You can do the same stretch as me, but it will feel slightly different (deeper).
Is your muscle definition from pilates only? or do you lift as well?
He said he also lifts weights.
Is your body built by pilates alone? So lean & defined.
Hi John what's good for lumbar spondylosis
I'm sorry - I'm not an expert in that area.
@@JohnGareyTV what 😲😲
How can get your legs?
How many reps of each position should one do?
Traditionally, in Pilates, you only do 5-10 reps of each exercise.
Excellent !! Thank you John.
Do you do pilates to have that body or do bodybuilding as well?
I definitely cross train. I do cardio, weights, and Pilates (every day). I love fitness and I love all kinds of workouts. Pilates helps me enjoy it all! :)
so you do not just do pilates, but do bodybuilding.
@@victoriar8915 Yes- I do lots of things. I'm not sure I would call it bodybuilding. I'm not that big, but I like to lift weights. :)
cool, I have scoliosis. I do not know if I do weight training. I'm so skinny. wanted to gain muscle mass.
