Our Studio
Many casual observers comment that a Pilates studios look like medieval torture chambers but please don't be put off by this - our studio is designed to offer a relaxed and friendly environment to enhance your Pilates experience.
Our studio includes the major pieces of equipment and each provides the operational quality synonymous with those brands recognised as class leading:
Reformer (Body Balance)
The reformer is the most commonly used piece of Pilates equipment. It offers resistance based exercise consisting of a moving platform or carriage with springs, ropes and pulleys. The carriage slides against resistance provided by a variable number of springs and pulleys.
A multitude of exercises can be performed on such and the resistance load can be modified by engaging or disengaging springs to suit all ranges of strength and ability.
Cadillac (Gratz)
The Cadillac is a specialised piece of equipment that enables the user to tone almost every muscle group in their body.
It consists of a trapeze table that allows you to work against gravity, a flat table for lying poses and spring loaded attachments for strengthening with resistance provided by springs.
Combination Electric / Wunda Chair (Gratz)
The Electric Chair has the strongest springs in the Pilates studio and provides very specific support for exact alignment. It is primarily used to strengthen the legs, hips and the supporting muscles that surround them, and is a fantastic tool for beginners and advanced students alike.
The Wunda Chair is basically a box with one side that can be pressed down against the resistance of springs, like a large pedal.
Ladder Barrel
A Ladder Barrel combines ladder rungs with a barrel surface for stretching, strengthening and flexibility exercises.
The barrel connects to the ladder by a sliding base that adjusts to accommodate different torso sizes and leg lengths.
