What is Pilates?

Say what? Pie and lattes? The story of Pilates started with a passionate man, a health fanatic and an advocate of physical activities, Joseph Pilates. He was born in 1883 in Dusseldorf, Germany. As a  sickly child suffering from rickets, asthma and rheumatic fever his drive to overcome these ailments led to the practice of bodybuilding, gymnastics, diving and other physical pursuits.

During the course of his career, Joseph Pilates developed over 600 exercises for the various pieces of apparatus he invented. The Pilates equipment is designed to condition the entire body using positions and movements, which ultimately correct body alignment and balance. Using springs and pulleys, which create progressive resistance, the equipment helps in producing muscle contractions that simulate functional muscle action. At the same time, the stabilising muscle groups are encouraged to work isometrically to maintain correct positioning and alignment. These days Pilates is loved by celebrities, athletes, seniors, as well as endorsed by medical professionals as a method of mindful rehabilitation.

What is a reformer?​

A very clever piece of equipment, the Reformer utilizes spring-loaded resistance to activate the core, develop strong lean muscles & increase metabolic rate. This is a strong abdominal, arm & leg workout.

What is a ladder barrel?

Designed to operate the core muscles, challenging the postural muscles, with emphasis on strengthening and improving range of movement whilst developing spinal flexibility and lengthening the muscles. Those exercises challenge the abdominal and waist muscles and strengthen the spinal column.

What is a springboard?

Allowing for the functionality of the “Trapeze table” or “Cadillac”, the springboard offers a tremendous variety of exercises. From gentle, spring-assisted sit-ups with the use of roll up bar, post-rehab to advanced acrobatics; the springboard offers exercises for all ages and abilities.
