Pilates is a training method aimed at improving strength, flexibility, posture, and body control through targeted and fluid exercises. Created by Joseph Pilatesin the early 20th century, it is based on principles such as concentration, control, breathing, and precision of movement. Pilates can be practiced either with bodyweight exercises or with large machines designed by Pilates himself.
Practicing Pilates with large equipment like the Reformer, Cadillac, Chair, and Barrel is an advanced option that provides extra resistance and support thanks to springs, straps, and handles. These machines allow movements to be more controlled and targeted, adapting to each individual’s needs and facilitating a comprehensive and progressive workout that strengthens deep muscles, stability, and alignment.
