The Pilates equipment uses the resistance of springs to create the effort. Some of the equipment used are:

1) Reformer - It consists of a sliding platform anchored at one end of its frame with springs. The platform is moved by either pulling on ropes or pushing off from a stationary bar. The exercise tests the ability of moving the platform and maintaining balance on a moving surface while sitting or standing.

2) Cadillac - It consists of a padded platform with a cage-like frame above it. From this frame various bars or straps are attached by springs.

3) Wunda Chair - It consists of a small bench-like platform with a bar attached with springs. Exercises consist of pushing on the bar while either sitting or standing on the bench, or standing or lying on the floor.

The mat exercises concentrate on strengthening the muscles in the trunk and hip region while incresaing the flexibility of both the spine and hips. The mat exercises while limited in scope complement the machines perfectly.
