Did you know there is much more to Pilates than the Reformer and Mat?

Writer: Steph HammondSteph Hammond


They are just the things that everyone talks about at the moment and what you see on instagram and TikTok daily…. However, did you know that Pilates is a complete system designed by Joseph Pilates, that has been around since the 1920s? Pilates is not just Reformer & Mat but a series of apparatus that intertwine together, complement one another and help you reach those out of reach places far easier.


Let me introduce you to them…


 




The Reformer


You all know this one, it’s challenging and fun…but never easy. Low impact, resistance training, with nowhere to hide! It’s the one you see all the celebs using on social media….and has risen in popularity due to this but it’s not alone.

The Tower or Cadillac/Half Cadi


A tower of strength and flexibility, helps take your body and movement into places none of the other apparatus do.


Your body will feel stretched, amazing and limber after 30 mins in the company of this beauty.





The Ladder Barrel


A great support to the other apparatus plus it’s absolutely sublime to stretch on…..but equally as fun to do a handstand on!


Be warned tho, this piece of kit takes no prisoners!

The Stability Chair

My absolute favourite of the bunch, small and mighty, much like me lol!


The chair is so versatile and really is not as innocent as it looks. From dips to stretches, lifts to extensions, pikes to push ups…it does it all! Strengthens, supports, stabilises….THE LOT…..I LOVE IT!






The Spine Corrector

A supportive addition to the Mat, adding an element of stretch with an element of challenge. Tight hip flexors? Stiff lower back? This is your friend. I particularly love the spine corrector for clients who want to master the Teaser!


The Arc Barrel


Amazingly versatile, great for low back support but also as a helping hand to finding a deeper connection with those tummy muscles, especially with inversions.


Love using this with my pregnant ladies.



Together, it’s like Avengers Assemble…each one brings their own thing to the table and together they make a hell of a team. 🫡👊🏻


So why settle for just mat or reformer when you can have the whole ensemble??? I am very proud to be a fully equipped and dedicated Pilates studio. Are you ready? AVENGERS…ASSEMBLE!!
