Why Pilates Equipment Will Revolutionize Your Workout

Joseph Pilates originally developed his training method as a rehabilitation technique, creatively using whatever equipment was available, such as hospital beds. These origins live on in today’s highly sophisticated Pilates equipment. The targeted use of resistance, spring systems, and ergonomic designs makes it possible to engage the deep muscles more precisely than would be possible with mat-based training alone. Pilates equipment provides controlled support during difficult movements while simultaneously creating new challenges for advanced practitioners—it is the key to a holistic, progressive workout.

Large equipment for gyms and serious home workouts

The Reformer—the centerpiece of every Pilates studio

The Reformer is the most versatile of all Pilates machines. With its ingenious system of carriages, springs, and cable pulleys, it enables hundreds of different exercises for the entire body. At YOGISTAR, you can choose from various Reformer models—ranging from the basic model to the luxury version with a maple wood frame. Expand your Reformer as needed with accessories such as the Cadillac, Half Cadillac, Jump Board, or Big Tower to create your own personalized training system.
