Reformer X Strength
Built for people who want to look as strong as they feel.
Two machines, one method.
You will rotate between the reformer and strength training on the bench. Here is how it works:
Warm-up
Stretch
We work on your flexibility, prepare your body for the session, and keep your muscles from shortening.
Stability · precision · lean muscle
Athletic Reformer
Spring resistance forces every movement slow and controlled. No momentum. No cheating. Your core works the entire time, building the posture and length that make everything else look better.
Strength · shape · power
Strength Training
The compound movements that build the shape reformer cannot. Glutes, hamstrings, shoulders, trained with intention. This is what changes how you look in clothes.
Cool down
Breath work
Slow the breath. Bring the heart rate down.
minutes total.
Two to three sessions per week.
You decide how fast.
Your First Class
Before the session starts, your trainer walks you through the method: the machines, the tempo, and what to expect. You know exactly what is coming before your first rep.
The Reformer uses spring resistance. The bench uses dumbbells. Your trainer sets your starting point and corrects your form as you go.
Every exercise is coached for Mind-Muscle Connection and Time under Tension. You feel it in the right muscle. You progress faster.

Our Philosophy
A spring behaves like a muscle.
It stretches under load and contracts when tension releases. Every exercise at Method26 is built on this principle, controlled, precise, intentional.
Mind-Muscle Connection
Feel which muscle is working. We focus on teaching you how to target the right muscle through correct technique. This prevents compensator muscles from taking over and robbing your target muscle of the work.
Range of Motion
Every movement is performed through the full stretch or contraction of your muscle. Only then does the muscle work across its entire capacity, building the control and shape that creates visible results.
Time under Tension
The muscle does not respond to speed, it responds to duration. The longer it stays under load, the stronger the signal to grow. No fast reps, just clean, controlled execution.
Progressive Overload
Your body adapts fast. So we keep pushing: more control, more time under tension, more weight. Always with clean form. Never at the cost of quality.
Recovery
The workout ends.
The results begin.
Most people skip recovery. That is why most people plateau.
Infrared Sauna
Cortisol
Stress hormones drop. Less puffiness, less water retention.
Circulation
Reaches hands, feet, face. Better skin tone from the inside out.
Cellular Energy
Heat activates repair pathways. You leave feeling vital, not depleted.
Recovery
Muscle soreness reduced. More sessions, faster results.
Red Light Therapy
Collagen
Stimulated at a cellular level. Skin firms and tightens over time.
ATP
Mitochondria activated. Energy production where your cells need it most.
Inflammation
Reduced in the muscle and visible on the face.
Skin Tone
Texture evens out. Redness fades. Glow builds with every session.

FAQ
What to expect.
Completely. You do not need reformer experience and you do not need to be a regular at the gym. Every session is fully coached from start to finish. What helps: showing up. We take care of the rest.
We know that walking into a new place for the first time takes courage. Our trainers will show you around, walk you through the method, and make sure you know exactly what to expect before the first rep. You will not be thrown in and left to figure it out.
Everyone in the room was a first-timer once. The method is coached rep by rep, so there is no moment where you are left guessing what to do next. Your form gets corrected privately, not called out. You will not look lost because we will not let you be lost.
We open in December 2026. Waitlist members get first access to book their slots. Class times will be released to the waitlist before anyone else.
Yes, with red light therapy built in. You get both in one session. Infrared heat penetrates deeper than a traditional sauna and brings your nervous system back down after an intense session, while the red light works at a cellular level on collagen, inflammation and skin tone. Sauna access is included in our 12-month founding membership. For all other memberships, separate time slots can be booked. Wavelengths, temperature range and how a session runs are covered under infrared sauna and red light therapy in Berlin.
What works for people who do not have time to make nutrition a second job. The course gives you practical suggestions for what to eat to support your training and body composition goals. No meal prepping for hours. No restrictive plans you cannot stick to. Simple, fast, and created by a certified nutritionist. Included in every membership.
50 minutes, circuit format. You start with 5 minutes of breath work and stretching, move through 20 minutes on the Athletic Reformer and 20 minutes of strength training, and finish with a 5-minute cool down. Slow and controlled, no momentum. By the end the session has worked your full body: stability and precision on the reformer, strength and shape on the bench.
A Reformer is a resistance-based machine that uses spring tension to load your muscles through the full range of every movement. We train on the Athletic Reformer: the same mechanics, built for higher intensity and more dynamic exercises than classical reformer Pilates. Your core is engaged the entire time, your joints stay protected, and the slow tempo means there is nowhere to hide. Whether the Reformer is enough on its own is answered in our piece on Reformer Pilates and strength training.
Two to three times per week is the sweet spot. Enough stimulus to build strength and change body composition, enough recovery time to let the work land. Most members start with two sessions and add a third once the method becomes familiar.
Founding member pricing will be released to the waitlist first, before anything goes public. Joining the waitlist costs nothing and locks in your priority access.
No. Method26 workouts are exclusively for members. We keep it that way to protect the quality of the experience and the community. However, infrared sauna slots will be available to book on these platforms for non-members.
