Pilates-based movement classes Reformer, Tower, Mat, Chair, and Konnector®

Reformer Footbar

Each apparatus is unique in the Pilates system of exercise. Pilates is so effective because it combines strength, flexibility, and balance all in one dynamic workout. The equipment all complement each other and offer the body new ways to be challenged and trained.

Reformer

The Reformer itself is a specialized piece of equipment designed with a sliding carriage, adjustable springs, and various straps. This setup allows for a wide range of movements and resistance levels, making it suitable for individuals of all fitness levels. The combination of controlled, precise movements and the resistance provided by the springs engages your core, tones your muscles, and enhances your overall body awareness.

Tower

The Pilates Tower System is an excellent option for individuals looking to deepen their Pilates practice, enhance core strength, improve flexibility, and refine overall body awareness. Like other Pilates equipment, it offers a low-impact workout that can benefit people of various fitness levels, from beginners to advanced practitioners. Who knew a vertical frame with springs, a roll-down bar, a push-through bar and a mat could offer so much challenge to the body?

Mat

Pilates mat is where it all began. As Joe was diving deep into his own quest to be sound in body, mind and spirit, he used common exercises from the time and evolved them into a specific sequence of exercises meant to challenge the entire body fully. Mat work is often considered the most challenging form of Pilates and the equipment was actually developed, in part, to help bodies learn the movements they needed to be successful during mat exercises. While not all Pilates teachers follow the “classical order” of mat, your entire body will thank you for a rigorous mat workout!

Chair

The Pilates chair is frequently judged to be the most athletic of the Pilates apparatus. It’s often used in conjunction with other Pilates equipment, such as the reformer and the Tower, to create a comprehensive and well-rounded workout routine.

Pilates chair exercises focus on improving core strength, stability, flexibility, and overall body awareness. The chair's design allows for a wide variety of movements, including seated, standing, and lying-down exercises. Users can perform exercises that challenge different muscle groups, such as the abdominals, back, legs, and arms. The chair's resistance system enhances the effectiveness of these exercises by engaging muscles throughout the entire range of motion.

Konnector® system

The Konnector® is the best thing to happen to Pilates in the past 20 years! Invented by Viktor Uygen it is an evolution of the original Pilates reformer design that we didn’t even realize was missing. Once you’ve tried it, you may have a hard time going back to the “old” way. This system allows for the body to behave like it does in real life with each limb reacting to the other and allowing for smooth and connected movements. You won’t believe it until you try it, but we are convinced it won’t be long until all Pilates studios are converting to this unique system.

Pilates FAQs

  • What exactly is Pilates? It’s a form of exercise developed in the early 1900’s by Joseph Pilates. He originally called it “Contrology,” which was done primarily on the floor. Mr. Pilates had been inspired by the Greek ideal of being balanced in body, mind and spirit and developed his system based on this. It is guided by the principles of breath, coordination, focus, centering, alignment and control. Throughout his lifetime, Pilates continued to innovate and evolve his practice. It continues to evolve today as more and more teachers and students add to the body of knowledge that supports healthy movement. Pilates is a form of exercise accessible to all types of bodies, from professional athletes to injured ones. Not sure if it’s really what it’s cracked up to be? Check out this article from the New York Times featuring our owner, Carrie A Lamb, titled “Is Pilates as good as everyone says?”

  • This is always a debate in the Pilates community and we now have a “classical” Pilates studio in town. It’s important to know the differences and make an informed decision about what feels right for you. Click here to read our recent blog post about this topic and feel free to reach out to us directly to learn more.

  • Make sure to wear clothes you are comfortable moving in. Because our equipment has lots of moving parts, make sure you are not in anything too baggy and avoid bracelets and necklaces that dangle and could potentially get caught. If you have long hair, make sure to have a hair tie to keep it contained during your workout.

  • This is such a great question and the answer is….it depends. What other types of exercise do you do? Are you training for a major event? Are you recovering from an injury? In general, Pilates is safe to do on a daily basis. A good rule of thumb is to think 2x/week to maintain and 3x/week to make gains.

  • One of the things we pride ourselves on the most is really understanding the needs of each individual client. While Pilates is a great way to exercise, it is not a one size fits all and we want to make sure we’re helping you make the most of your time with us. What we ask is that you schedule at least one private “get to know you” session with our team to talk about your goals, get oriented to the studio, and check that you understand some basic safety on our equipment. If, after that first meeting, you and the instructor decide you are ready to jump into classes - YAY! We are happy to welcome you in. If you feel like you’d like a few more privates we can make that happen too!

  • Great! We’d love for you to give us a try! We’re happy to have you drop in to a class. Register as a drop in through Wellness Living but make sure to arrive a few minutes early to talk with your instructor. After class, the two of you can discuss the best path forward.

  • Welcome to Golden! We love having visitors to the studio. Please give us a call at 303-993-2237 and we can get you set up in a class while you’re here! We also love sharing our inside knowledge of fun things to do around here so if you need any recommendations we’re happy to chat more!

  • Since back “pain” is not a single entity this question is hard to answer but gets asked a lot. Can Pilates make my spine more flexible - YES. Can Pilates help my spine get stronger - YES. Will Pilates help me learn how to support my spine better - ABSOLUTELY! Oftentimes, these outcomes do results in a decrease in pain but sometimes that is not the case. Our physical therapists are experts and helping you sort out what you need and making recommendations on the right type of exercise for your specific issues. Give us a call today to set up a consultation to explore whether Pilates-based exercise is the answer you’ve been looking for.

  • Hmm, not directly unfortunately. Bone density responds to stress and Pilates, by design, is considered low-impact vs high impact. Activities like jumping, lifting weights, and walking have a greater direct impact on bone density but Pilates can help you do all those things better. We know it’s a bit of a gray area and some things depend on you individual tests and scores. Give us a call if you’d like to chat with one of our knowledgeable physical therapists who can help steer you in the right direction.
