EQUIPMENT CLASSICAL LINE During World War I Joseph Pilates was stationed at an internment camp in England. In an effort to fend off illnesses, he used hospital beds and springs to develop light resistance exercises which he taught to the patients, sparking his idea to develop equipment to use in support of his methodology. He called it “contrology,” which is known today as Pilates. Our classical line is built true to Joseph Pilates’ original design and specifications. Often regarded as authentic or traditional, this equipment allows for the body to move through the classical flow and perform the original exercises as developed by Joseph Pilates. The full range of apparatus includes the reformer, cadillac, wunda chair, high/low combo chair and high ladder barrel as well as additional auxiliary equipment and accessories such as the spine corrector, ped-o-pull and foot corrector. All of our products in the classical line are constructed with hand-crafted wood or sustainable bamboo in Longmont, Colorado. 23
