MEET THE MACHINES
#2 – The Chair
Don’t let the size fool you — the Pilates Chair delivers a powerful, full-body challenge. Made up of a box-like seat and a spring-loaded pedal, it demands strength, stability and precise control. The Chair is particularly known for its ability to train balance and core strength, as many exercises are performed in upright positions that replicate everyday movement. It’s brilliant for working the arms, legs and glutes, while constantly engaging the deep stabilising muscles of the trunk. Because exercises can be adjusted to be gentle or highly athletic, the Chair suits anyone: from those needing rehabilitation, building foundational strength or advanced movers looking for new challenges. It’s also popular with runners, cyclists and athletes who want to improve power, control and alignment. Despite its simple appearance, the Pilates Chair opens up a surprising variety of exercises — all focused on strength, posture and functional movement that you can feel in daily life.
These machines should only to be used under the guidance of fully comprehensively trained Pilates instructors.
