About Us

Certified Pilates Reformer instructor in Rome - Dario

Dario

I have practiced Kung Fu, Karate, Grappling, Acrobatics, Parkour, and Bachata.

Very different disciplines that taught me one precise thing: a movement is not worth how difficult it is, but how it is performed.

In my way of teaching, I look above all at the timing of the gesture: when it begins, how it develops, how it ends.

If presence is missing, even a strong movement loses its meaning. If the timing is right, even a simple gesture works.

I don't work to accumulate exercises, but to make movement clear, continuous, and repeatable.

Certified Pilates Reformer instructor in Rome - Annarita

Annarita

I practiced dance, competitive swimming, martial arts for many years, parkour, acrobatics, and pole dance.

Experience taught me one thing: there is no such thing as being "generally trained".

Even after many years of sport, if you are not prepared for the specific gesture you are doing, you can easily get hurt.

Every discipline requires different qualities.

That's why, in my teaching, I never assume that someone already has the right tools for the movement they are facing.

The work is making the body suitable for what it has to do, before asking it to do more.

I believe true progress happens when a person feels supported, not pushed.

For me, teaching means accompanying someone to move better, with more control, and with more confidence in what they can become.

Posturologist and kinesiologist specialized in Postural Reprogramming, Canali Method, in Rome - Alessandro

Alessandro

I come from artistic gymnastics, which I still teach today with the same passion as when I started. In the world of gymnastics, alignment and control are not a detail, but the foundation of every effective movement. For over twenty years I have worked in elite sport, supporting athletes operating in internationally excellent contexts.

Today, as a postural gymnastics teacher specialized in the Canali Method (Postural Reprogramming), I bring this experience inside the REV project.

I combine the technical precision of gymnastics with an advanced approach to posture, applying the same principles both to athletic performance and to working with people who live with chronic pain. Because improving alignment and body awareness means moving better, performing better, and often feeling less pain.

What People Say

Frequently Asked Questions

The Pilates Reformer is a piece of equipment used in Pilates that uses a system of springs to create resistance.

Compared to bodyweight work, it allows you to:

  • modulate load precisely
  • improve strength, control, and coordination
  • work on movement in a more specific way

It is increasingly used to improve posture and quality of movement.

Yes, the Pilates Reformer is also suitable for those starting from scratch.

Thanks to adjustable resistance:

  • the work can be adapted to your starting level
  • you learn to move with control from the very beginning
  • you don't need to be already trained

With the Pilates Reformer, results depend on frequency.

In general:

  • from the very first sessions, body awareness and the sense of wellbeing improve
  • after a few weeks, changes appear in control and quality of movement

It is not a method based on fatigue, but on efficiency.

Working with the Pilates Reformer for athletes focuses on key aspects:

Load management while lengthening

During movement, the body must keep control even as muscles lengthen. This is essential for stability, precision, and force transmission.

Stability and force transmission

Working on the Reformer helps to:

  • maintain structure under load
  • transfer force between limbs and the core

Coordination and control

Training with variable resistance improves:

  • precision of movement
  • motor control
  • adaptability

The Pilates Reformer is useful for many sports, including:

  • martial arts
  • tennis and padel
  • dance
  • golf
  • swimming
  • endurance sports

It is especially indicated when you need:

  • body control throughout every phase of the gesture
  • stability
  • precision of movement

The Pilates Reformer can improve strength, especially in terms of:

  • neuromuscular control
  • usable strength
  • stability under load

According to American College of Sports Medicine guidelines, resistance work contributes to strength development, but the Reformer is not the primary method for hypertrophy.

The Pilates Reformer can contribute to injury prevention, but no method offers total prevention.

It can help because:

  • it improves movement control
  • it highlights compensations
  • it works on load management

Injury risk depends on multiple factors.

The Pilates Reformer can be useful in managing lower back pain, especially in non-specific forms, but it is not a medical therapy. National Institute for Health and Care Excellence guidelines recommend exercise as the primary intervention.

The Reformer allows controlled, progressive work, with specific advantages:

  • load management
  • movement control at every phase
  • reduction of compensations
  • strengthening of the abdomen as a stabilizer
  • improved coordination

This kind of work is useful because many lumbar issues do not depend only on "weakness", but on how the body manages movement.

What to expect:

  • improved quality of movement
  • greater tolerance to load
  • reduction of pain over time

Limits:

  • results are not immediate
  • it is not indicated in all conditions (medical evaluation is needed in complex cases)

The goal is not to eliminate pain in the short term, but to move better, with more control and fewer compensations, gradually reducing the factors that cause it.

No. Pilates Reformer classes at REV in Rome are:

  • one-to-one
  • or duet (2 people)

This allows personalized and more effective work.

For Pilates Reformer:

  • once a week → gradual improvement
  • twice a week → more visible results
  • combined with other training → optimization of performance

The first session is for:

  • assessing movement
  • identifying compensations
  • setting up the program

It's not a standard class, but an analysis phase.

The Pilates Reformer can be useful in managing fibromyalgia, but it is not a cure. European League Against Rheumatism guidelines indicate physical exercise as the main intervention.

The Reformer allows low-impact work, with adjustable load and movement control even while lengthening, making it suitable for a progressive approach. Results may include reduced pain and improved function, but they vary from person to person. The goal is to increase tolerance to movement and improve quality of motion without worsening symptoms.

In light of these considerations, the Pilates Reformer (when done with care) is one of the most suitable forms of physical activity for fibromyalgia.

No.

The Reformer is a tool within a broader method called Pilates (originally Contrology).

REV is an integrated approach that uses the Reformer, but is not limited to Pilates.

REV combines several areas:

  • Reformer work with the core principles of Pilates
  • principles of postural reprogramming (Canali Method)
  • dialogue with osteopathy

This means the focus is not on the exercise, but on how the body organizes itself in movement.

At REV we don't teach how to do exercises, we teach how to move so that you no longer need us.
