Let's Go
To The Park
Hi, I'm Alayna.
After my son was born, I found strengthening reformer pilates and fell in love with my body again. So I built The Park for parents like me—premium reformers and a crew that celebrates every shake and every win.
Your time is precious, and I'm honored you're spending it here. Now let's get shaking—trust me, it's gonna be worth it!

Curriculum Overview
40+ foundational exercises. 6 muscle groups.
Progressions from core & abs through legs, obliques, and upper body — each with spring modifications, cueing strategies, and teaching notes.
Abdominals

Core
8+ exercisesAb wheel, saw, plank to pike, panther — no spinal flexion, neutral spine stability for the transverse abdominis.
Light Legs
8+ exercisesLunges & squats on light springs — adding springs makes it easier, wider feet makes it harder.

Upper Body
6+ exercisesBicep curls, chest expansion, tricep kickbacks, chest fly — cable and strap resistance training.
Routine Formulation
You won't just learn exercises — you'll learn how to build complete class routines. The manual walks you through sequencing decisions: where to start on the reformer, how to alternate hand/forearm positions to protect wrists, and how to progress spring loads across a block.
Each routine is 19 exercises across 6 muscle group blocks. You'll create your first full routine during training and leave ready to teach.
