SLT

“Strengthen, Lengthen, Tone” involves a series of total-body transforming workouts, all done on a machine called the “Megareformer,” which is like a Pilates reformer, only a bit more brutal! While these machines take time and practice to get used to, once you have gotten the hang of it, the results are incredibly rewarding. Your whole body will be more toned and your core muscles will truly strengthen. If you want to see how gracefully these machines can be mastered, head to Instagram to see how gymnastic instructors look using them.
