Pilates Machines

Pilates Machines fall into two main groups, Home based Equipment and Studio based Equipment.

Pilates Reformer

The Pilates Reformer is the most popular piece of Pilates equipment and comes in both Home based and Studio based versions. The main difference is that the Studio based version is a lot more solid looking, being made of wood rather than tubular steel. The Studio version of the Pilates Reformer is also a more permanant piece of equipment, whilst the Home Pilates Reformer can be packed away to use up as little space as possible when not in use. Both versions comprise a sliding platform and a system of ropes and springs to give resistance and assistance, allowing a wide range of exercises to be performed on the Pilates Reformer.

Many Pilates Reformer machines also have available add-ons such as Jump Boards or Cardio Rebounders, an upright board or more often a small upright trampolene with which to provide added force to the exercises.
