Reformer Pilates in Playa de San Juan
Pilates on the Cadillac Reformer, in individual, duo, trio or group-of-4 sessions, always led by a physiotherapist. At Alba Health Lab, Playa de San Juan, Alicante.
What sets us apart
A different kind of Pilates, rooted in physiotherapy
Cadillac Reformer
We work with the Cadillac Reformer: the classic reformer combined with the Cadillac frame (tower, bars and springs). It allows many more exercises, supports and variations to adapt every movement to you.
Never more than 4 people
We work in individual, duo, trio or group-of-4 sessions: never more than four people per session. That way the physiotherapist can observe, correct and adapt each person’s work throughout the whole session.

Always a physiotherapist
Every session is led by a physiotherapist, not a fitness instructor. Someone who knows the body, injuries and how to progress safely.
Pilates from a professional perspective
Here, Reformer Pilates is not a gym class. Every session starts from how you move, what you need and where you are right now.
The machines allow very precise adjustment of the resistance, support and range of each exercise. With such small groups and a physiotherapist in charge, that means very close attention: careful technique, adaptations if you have any discomfort and an orderly progression, whether you are starting from scratch or already have experience.
Formats
Choose how you want to train
All formats take place on the Cadillac Reformer and are led by a physiotherapist. What changes is the level of individual attention and the group dynamic.
Individual
The whole session designed for you. In addition to the Cadillac Reformer, in individual sessions we also work with the chair and the barrel, to broaden the repertoire and adapt it even further.
Who it’s for: if you are a beginner, coming back from an injury or want the most personalised work.
Duo
Two people and almost one-to-one attention. Ideal to share with your partner, a family member or a friend.
Who it’s for: if you want very close attention in good company.
Trio
A very small group that combines personal follow-up with the motivation of training with others.
Who it’s for: if you already know the basics and want to keep progressing.
Group of 4
Four people, our largest group, so the physiotherapist can keep correcting and adapting each person’s work.
Who it’s for: if a group motivates you but you still want real supervision.
Each session lasts 55 minutes. The timetable is organised according to demand and groups: check availability, prices and packages in our TRAININ booking app or message us on WhatsApp.

Equipment
Our machines
Cadillac Reformer
It is the basis of all our sessions. It combines the reformer, with its sliding carriage and springs, and the Cadillac frame, which adds bars, straps and new support points. The result is a very wide repertoire to work on strength, mobility and control in any position.
Chair and barrel
In individual sessions we add the chair and the barrel. The chair demands more control and stability; the barrel helps work on spinal mobility and supported stretching. They are very useful tools to fine-tune the work for each person.
