This is a well set up reference guide to over 100 Reformer exercises. These are supposedly the ‘traditional‘ exercises taught by Joseph Pilates.
This is an interesting book. It gives insight into how the apparatus was used, how the exercises developed, and how Pilates thought about the body.

That is fine but don't go into this thinking it's going to expand your Reformer repertoire. Half the exercises don't even need to be done on the reformer.

I enjoyed it for the history and I could see where these exercises would connect to his Classical mat choreography. As a guide, no. The exercises that were useful to me I already knew.
