Pilates is wonderful for the spine and core. I really see improvement in my mid-section, just from doing pilates three times a week. My diet, OTOH, is terrible, so I know it's the added pilates. And, it doesn't take long, 25 minutes to do the basic or intermediate matwork, depending on the pace.
I love reformer exercises, too! I had to part with my reformer in AZ (before moving to MN) and really miss it! You're lucky to have one, as it's great for back issues and to get the muscles stretched and lengthened!
I've been in a number of auto accidents, and nothing worked as well as pilates for improving the way I felt afterwards.
