Recommended Pilates equipment
Here is my list of recommended small Pilates equipment
In the beginner classes I will introduce the equipment one piece at a time.
The first two items you will need are the long resistance band and the soft Pilates ball.
Resistance Band:
Size: Minimum 1.75m long.
These from Sissel are 2m long and good quality, I recommend the green ‘strong’ ones:
See these resistance bands on the Sissel website
N.B. It may not be possible to do all of the exercises if you use a band which is shorter than 1.75m
Soft Pilates Ball, or ‘Over Ball’
Size 18cm ball from The Physical Company, Green or Purple.
Prickle Stimulating Ball
I recommend the Physical Company as they are quite soft.
Others may be too uncomfortable. All colours from here are the same.
SISSEL® Pilates Roller
10cm x 90cm
£13.95 + £1.80pp
I haven’t tried these ones yet, and they don’t look as sturdy as the blue ones below: white Pilates roller from Sissel.
Eva Foamer Roller
This is the more sturdy blue type of Pilates roller from 66fit. They are better as they keep their shape for longer; still expensive but less that £30 including VAT and postage.
10cm x 90cm
