The Pilates Method was developed with a variety of equipment designed to advance stretching, strengthening and body alignment that came from the non-equipment based mat work.

Over time a full complement of equipment was developed including Trapeze Table, Reformer, Wunda Chair, Ladder barrel and Spine Corrector. The original Pilates has six principles: concentration, control, centering, flow, precision and breathing.

 

Our Pilates Studio Equipment and Pilates Reformer Group Classes in Rose Bay focus on core stability, strengthening, postural alignment, endurance, pelvic control, coordination, balance, flexibility and body awareness.

This form of exercise benefits you by teaching you how to move effectively, helping to tone and strengthen your body through the use of resistance from springs, elastic bands, small weights, balls, as well as your own body weight.

Pilates is suitable for anyone in a very wide range of physical condition, and it can be modified according to the client's individual need and ability. It is strongly endorsed by a wide range of health professionals as one of the safest forms of remedial exercise.

The difference between Pilates Studio Equipment & Pilates Reformer Group Classes

If you’ve been to a Pilates studio, or you are a studio regular client, you’ve likely been introduced to a host of Pilates equipment known as the apparatus like Reformer, Cadillac, Wunda Chair or Barrel.

The Pilates Reformer Group Classes are done using only the reformer machine which has up to 5 springs and when combined can add up to a considerable resistance. Conversely, as there are five springs, using only one or two of them can provide a gentler resistance depending on the exercise and the muscle being worked. In a Pilates Reformer Group Classes the participants will all perform the same general exercises, however when a client needs a different approach or adjustments, our instructors will always give them a simpler or harder variation of the same exercise according to the clients level and ability.

Our Pilates Equipment Studio aims to provide a more individualised approach and exercise program to your treatment and goals and it will involve a mix of Reformer and other Pilates equipment as Trapeze Table Wunda Chair and Barrel.

These classes are only for private and duo sessions where we can also add some GYROTONIC® & GYROKINESIS® exercises to the class if the instructor and the client want them as part of the program.
