The Reformer is one of the primary pieces of equipment used in the practice of Pilates. Fashioned after a single-sized bed frame, it consists of a moving carriage whose tension and resistance is controlled by springs. The springs can be used to increase or decrease resistance, depending on the exercise and strength of the client. More than 100 exercises can be performed on the Reformer.

 

The Reformer with Jumpboard creates a fast-paced cardio workout—requiring Reformer experience prior to increasing difficulty by adding Jumpboard. 

 

Work on the Pilates Tower, or Half Trapeze, is a great addition to your practice. The Reformer Tower allows work on many of the movements specific to the Cadillac (Trapeze) and further enhances knowledge of the method. 

 

Wall-mounted Springboard resistance equipment provides an invigorating full-body workout.  Take Mat, Cadillac and Reformer experience to a new level!  Designed by internationally renowned Pilates instructor, author, and innovator Ellie Herman, who has taught Pilates for 20+ years. 

 

The Wunda Chair is a smaller piece of equipment and is modeled after a standard sitting chair. The Chair consists of a footplate connected to springs. The Chair develops strength and is known as the "manly man” piece of equipment--a Chair workout can be one of the most difficult you will encounter.
