What’s the difference between mat Pilates and equipment Pilates?
Pilates mat classes are an excellent way to understand the basis of Pilates. However, the equipment Cadillac, Chair and especially the Reformer assist the individual in understanding the depth of the work. Rather than weights, the equipment uses springs that work like concentric and eccentric muscle contractions to tone and also stretch the muscles.
