Seven Chic Equipment Picks For Your Home Pilates Practice
Best small weights
It comes as no surprise that the best small weights are the Bala Bars. They are simple and chic, and come in some very cute colors. The classic Bars are 3lb, and you can upgrade to the Power Ring for 5lb, 10lb and 15lb options.
Best Pilates mat
We love the Solana Yoga Mat. It’s extra thick, which is essential because there’s nothing worse than feeling your tailbone against the floor when doing V-ups. Ouch!
Best Balance Board
Okay, it’s technically not Pilates equipment, but the Mobo Board is amazing for strengthening your feet (yes, it’s important to strengthen your feet!) You use them all day long, don’t neglect them now.
Best Exercise Ball
The Bosu Ballast Ball is super durable and comes with 2.5lbs of sand inside to act as a ballast. You get all the benefits of an exercise ball without it rolling away from you all the time.
Best Resistance Bands
Cassey Ho has been hustling in the Pilates game for years with her amazing YouTube mat Pilates workouts, and now fashion and equipment brand! Go Cassey! Check out her line of Blogilates loop bands at Target. Bonus points for the nice color palette!
Best Jump Rope
We’re going back to basics with our jump rope pick. CW&T are a super cool duo from Brooklyn, NY that make amazing products in their basement workshop. We love how simple their jump ropes are. No need for the fancy ball bearings that will eventually rust out. The Forever Jump Rope will literally last forever. It’s got a hefty price tag, but it’s basically an heirloom product that can be just as essential to your workout as it is to your kids' playtime.
Best Pilates Reformer
The Somato is a new kind of Pilates reformer specifically designed for the home. It weighs less than your checked luggage and folds in half for storage. It's chic, approachable and easy to use. You can change your springs with a simple twist of a dial and adjust your foot bar to three different angles. Download the Somato App on any device to follow along a wide range of classes, from Classical Pilates sequences to high-intensity workouts. It’s affordable and eliminates all of the friction of scheduled, studio-based classes, making it more likely you’ll stay with your program and achieve your goals.
