Pilates Apparatus Sessions - Scheduled as Private, Semi-private, or Group
Pilates apparatus were designed to resist and/or assist clients through flexibility and strengthening exercises that may be too difficult on the mat or not challenging enough. A private or semi-private (group of 2-3 students) studio session may include all 4 apparatus or only 1 apparatus depending on the client or patient’s needs. Group Reformer sessions of up to 5 students are offered as a scheduled class.
The Reformer is the most popular apparatus and is good for creating resistance for the arms and legs, as well as controlled movements of the spine. It is much like a moving bed with pulleys and springs to add progressive resistance or controlled stretching. The repertoire is vast, and there are many exercises available.
The Cadillac is the biggest piece of Pilates apparatus and very helpful for clients unable to get down and up off of the floor for mat work. Springs and bars are assistive for difficult abdominal exercises such as the well-known Teaser, but also adds strength training for the arms and legs familiar to traditional gym equipment.
The Ladder Barrel is best used for stretching the spine and hips in all directions. Sitting on the ladder barrel with the feet hooked under the ladder adds a nice twist to abdominal crunches. Advanced and super-advanced exercises parallel exercises on the pommel horse in gymnastics.
Small apparatus add an extra kick to mat exercises, but also assist in connecting the mind to the body when attempting to achieve proper alignment. They include the small ball, the Pilates ring, the physio ball, exercise tubing, the foam roller, and Core Body Reformer.
