The Reformer Pilates Card Deck
Hi there! I’m George Watts, your friendly neighbourhood Pilates/Yoga teacher and the mastermind behind the “Reformer Pilates Card Deck.”
Oh, and when I’m not busy bending into pretzel shapes, I’m slaving away updating the Online Pilates Lesson Planner—because, let’s face it, who doesn’t love a good pilates plan?
Now, let me introduce you to the Reformer Pilates Card Deck—a pocket-sized powerhouse packed with 48 reformer exercises. Whether you’re a newbie or a seasoned Pilates pro, this deck’s got your back (literally). It’s like having a Pilates instructor in your pocket.
Each card comes with step-by-step instructions and illustrations so clear even your cat could follow along (not that we’re suggesting you teach your cat Pilates… but we won’t judge if you try). Get ready to level up your pilates reformer practice with a dash of convenience and a sprinkle of fun!

3 Pilates Card Flavours (Categories)
Three Categories Within The Pilates Reformer Card Deck
The three card categories are:
- Foundation Series (blue): These 20 foundation series exercises focus on building a strong base and mastering essential movements. Ideal for beginners and those looking to refine their technique.
- Intermediate Series (green): The 14 intermediate series exercises are designed for those with a bit more experience. These exercises introduce more complexity and coordination, targeting multiple muscle groups simultaneously.
- Mastery Series (red): The 14 mastery series exercises are for seasoned practitioners. These exercises offer a high level of difficulty, focusing on strength, balance, and precision to push your limits.

Bonus Boost: 3 Reformer Pilates Workout Routine Cards
3 Reformer Pilates Workout Routine Cards
There are an infinite number of workout routines you can create with these 48 cards. Here are three to get you started.
Each routine card has five Reformer Pilates exercises that I like to call micro-routines. Do each exercise for one minute, and voilà, you’ve got yourself a 5-minute workout! Want to feel like a Pilates superhero, then stretch it to five minutes per exercise for a 25-minute session that’ll have your abs saying, “Are we done yet?”
