Pilates Manufacturers

The fundamental notion of the method is that people should add to their flexibility and muscle while keeping bulk to a minimum. The method works wonders because it dedicates to the mind as well, like yoga, not just to the body. To be able to enjoy all the benefits of Pilates you should go and buy some things that can help you work out and enjoy a balances, stress relieved life.

The main company I would direct you to is Gaiam. To me this company represents the definitive Pilates manufacturer. They produce bigger props like the Reformer and the Cadillac (also known as the rack). These are big machines that are expensive, but allow your to do over 80-100 types of exercises on them. If you are in need of space go for the Reformer, which is about the size of a bench press. If you have the space, go for the Cadillac, which takes up more, but gives you a lot of variety (and a torture chamber like appearance). They also manufacture smaller things like Pilates chairs, which are also very versatile, but small props. The ladder and barrel are also very prominent in Pilates life. It combines the ability to strengthen and stretch perfectly in one prop. The great thing about Gaiam is that they make some props specifically for kids. Kids love to try out these stuff, but they may not reach the far end, or these big machines may be downright dangerous, so going for kid’s supplies is the best choice.

I also like Scott Pilates a lot because it gives you the whole deal. They manufacture exercise machines for Pilates, clothes, they give lessons, have gyms, instructors. You can buy anything that has any relation to Pilates at Scott Pilates. They have establishments in Toronto and New York, so if you live in the are do visit, if you don’t then you can order their merchandise.

When talking about manufacturers the best places to visit some are online stores like Amazon, Overstock and such. These are usually the place to buy books and DVD’s, but they are a great place to familiarize yourself with the companies involved and see them listed in one place. At these stores you can also get a reduced price, you may even be able to buy used for a very low offer.
