The Equipment Studio, Limes Avenue
The Equipment Studio
The Pilates Equipment Studio is located at Limes Avenue,
Stratford-upon-Avon for private tuition and/or studio sessions. The
Studio contains a variety of specialist Pilates equipment and offers
personal supervision and tuition by our fully qualified Pilates Instructors in an exclusive and unique setting.
The Reformer
The Classical Reformer is a cutting edge piece of equipment used in
Pilates exercise. It was invented by Joseph Pilates to perform his
exercises correctly, increasing spinal flexibility, enhancing range of
movement, toning abdominal and back muscles and improving posture. It
consists of a long wooden frame that moves back and forth with a spring
resistance system. The reformer is a key piece of equipment in injury
rehabilitation.

The Total Gym
The Total Gym Gravity Reformer is a similar machine
with an incline
gliding mat system using body weight
as resistance. It enhances
neuromuscular function
and builds core stability, increasing limb
strength and flexibility without impact on the joints. It is also
excellent for rehabilitation and for exercise whilst pregnant, but can
also be used for a cardiovascular workout to build stamina.

Full instruction is given in the use of Pilates Equipment such as the
Reformer and/or the Total Gym Gravity Reformer, Wunda & High Chair
and Ladder Barrel. At the Studio, training on these pieces of equipment

pieces of small equipment such as the Stability balls, Barrels,
Wobbleboards, Overballs, Foam Rollers, Slope Station, Toning Circle.
