These pictures of Pilates equipment will introduce you to the main "Pilates machines", also known as apparatus. This is the equipment that you are likely to first meet at a Pilates studio. Some, like the Pilates reformer and the Pilates chair, are working their way into mainstream use. Others are a little more specialized.
The photos in this gallery represent equipment from some of the most prominent Pilates equipment manufacturers including Balanced Body, Peak Pilates, and Stott Pilates. Much of this equipment is traditional Pilates equipment. I've tried to show the classic designs along with contemporary innovations. I've also included a demonstration photo for each piece of equipment so you can see it in action.
