What is the difference between mat and apparatus?
When most people think of pilates, what comes to mind is a series of exercises that are performed while lying on a mat. While this is true, Joseph Pilates also designed spring loaded machines to guide your body into the correct form while doing an exercise. The mat exercise require you to use your own body weight as resistance, while the machines provide the additional spring resistance. In addition to the Reformer, Pilates Defined also provides the Cadillac or Trapeze table, the EXO chair, and the ladder barrel, among many other small props.
