Our official launch date is September 12th. We’re celebrating with a full morning of classes on that day.

After that, you’ll find Functional Strength Reformer across the weekly schedule at certain times - we’ll keep playing with this schedule until we see what you like best and get it right!

You’re welcome to attend Functional Strength Reformer up until you are 15 weeks pregnant. After 15 weeks, due to the athletic style of training, Functional Strength Reformer is no longer suitable during pregnancy.

Please let us know how many weeks along you are so we can make a confidential note on your account, and always let your instructor know at the beginning of each class so they can provide any appropriate modifications with discretion.

Any Class Pack that grants access to our Reformer studios will be bookable for Functional Strength Reformer classes.

So many! Functional Strength Reformer is all about helping you build strength you can actually use, both in the studio and outside of it.

You’ll work on building overall strength, body awareness and cardiovascular endurance, while becoming more confident working with resistance and load.

The goal is for you to feel the difference not only in your classes, but in the way your body moves through everyday life too.

Yes! If your current membership includes Reformer classes, you’ll be able to use your membership to book into Functional Strength Reformer too.

There’s no additional cost or separate membership required. Functional Strength Reformer will simply become another class option available to you alongside our existing Reformer classes, so you can mix it into your usual training depending on what you feel like that week.

Once classes are live on the schedule, you’ll be able to book in the same way you normally would through the Love Athletica app.

Yes! If you have an Access All class pack, you’ll be able to book into Functional Strength Reformer just as you would any of our other Reformer classes.

As Functional Strength Reformer is a Reformer class, it won’t be included in our Hot Mat Only class packs. If you have a Hot Mat Only pack and would love to give the class a try, you can purchase a casual class or an Access All class pack through the Love Athletica app.

We’d love to see Functional Strength make up around half of your regular classes, whether that’s Functional Strength Reformer, Hot Mat, or a mix of both!

So, if you usually move with us four times a week, you might aim for two Functional Strength classes and mix up the rest with the other class styles you love.

There’s no perfect number though. It’s all about finding a mix that works for you, your body and your routine.

Functional Strength Reformer is a full body strength focused class that combines the Reformer with heavier spring tension, dumbbells and simple, functional movements.

You’ll work through timed strength sets of movement based on: squats, lunges, hinges, presses, pulls and rotation. The timed format gives you the chance to settle into each movement, focus on your technique and work with more load rather than layers or complexity.

Like our other Reformer classes, you can expect a full body workout, starting with a warm up before moving through upper and lower body strength work, core, and finishing with a stretch. 

Think less complex choreography and more controlled, strength focused sets, giving you time to focus on technique, load and building strength that carries into everyday movement.

Functional Strength Reformer is such a great addition to the other classes you already love!

The movements are kept simple so you can focus on adding load and building strength, rather than lots of layers or complexity. As you get stronger, you’ll likely start to feel the benefits across your other training too, with more strength, capacity and endurance to bring into your Reformer, Hot Mat and Yoga classes.

Think of it as building a stronger base for everything else you love doing.

They’re both designed to challenge you, but they’ll feel quite different!

Functional Strength Reformer keeps the movements simple and controlled, with the challenge coming from gradually increasing the weight or resistance you’re working with. Think familiar, functional movements like squatting, pulling, pushing and carrying, with more focus on building strength through load.

Athletic Reformer is more flow and sequence based, with balance, stability, coordination and endurance playing a bigger role in the challenge.

Neither is better than the other. They’re simply different ways to challenge your body and build different areas of your movement.

Yes! Functional Strength Reformer is suitable for all levels, whether you’re newer to Reformer or have been training with us for years.

The class is designed so you can work at a level that feels right for you, with options to adjust your resistance and weights as you build strength and confidence with the movements.

Our instructors will guide you through the class and help you choose the options that best suit your experience and ability, so there’s plenty of room to progress and challenge yourself over time.

Functional Strength Reformer is ideal for anyone looking to build strength that supports how you move both in and outside the studio.

Whether you’re newer to strength training, looking to complement your existing Reformer classes, or already love challenging yourself with heavier resistance, the class is designed to meet you at your level.

It’s a great option if you want to feel stronger, build confidence with functional movements and add more dedicated strength work into your weekly training.

If you’re currently managing an injury or returning to training after an injury, we recommend checking in with a Physiotherapist before attending a group class to make sure the class is appropriate for you and to understand any modifications you may need.

We wouldn’t say harder, just a different kind of challenge!

Functional Strength Reformer will feel heavier, with simpler, controlled movements, more load and fewer repetitions. Athletic Reformer brings its challenge through flowing sequences, balance, stability, coordination and endurance.

Both are designed to challenge you, but in different ways. You might even find one feels harder than the other depending on your own strengths and the style of training you’re used to.

Yes! Functional Strength Reformer will be available across all Love Athletica studios.

Following our official launch on September 12th, you’ll start to see Functional Strength Reformer classes appear at selected times across each studio’s weekly schedule. We’ll continue to review the schedule as we go to find the days and times that work best for our community.
