Machines to performance, basic equipmanet

Pilates’ Method offers a large variety of possibilities, the centers or gyms that advertised and teach the authentic Pilates Method or some schools like Romana Kryzanowska ‘ school of Pilates, (she was a pupil of J. Pilates) should must have the machines invented by J. Pilates.

These machines were the obsession of J, Pilates , he was focused on the research and investigation of people’s body and the way it must be work out to get the most of the exercises this is why he made the necessary modifications following his Method and getting some of the most perfect machines to tone and shape the body. Due to the need of a special license to use these original machines the market has invented new and similar ones, some of them are even better than the originals but others are not that good, “my warning to you either as student or as a teacher is: do not go with the flow, study the machine, the exercise/s you try to performance and the utility the machine is going to give to you or to your students before starting to buy any of them and/or use them”.

I must say “ it is not indispensable to use the REFORMER MACHINES” but it is advisable to use them if what you want to do is learn or teach the Original and Authentic Pilates Method.

Below it have been described and explained the utility and use of the main machines used in Authentic Pilates Method.
