The MOTR is a versatile, challenging and unique apparatus. It can offer many fitness-based exercises as well as many Reformer-based exercises, which lends itself to a wide variety of clientele. Using the roller as the exercise platform adds a balance and stability challenge that immediately activates the core to stabilize, so that even the simplest of movements become a full-body experience. Best of all, it is small, portable, and affordable.
Piece of cake. The MOTR is perfect in multi-use spaces. It’s easy to set up and easy to remove at the end of class.
