The Reformer
The reformer is the most popular piece of Pilates equipment, and for good reason. It can be used for a variety of exercises and movements that target specific muscle groups. The reformer is a sliding platform with a system of springs, ropes, and pulleys that allow you to perform various exercises from sitting in different positions.

This equipment may be pricey, but it's great exercise.
Pilates is a type of exercise that can be done anywhere, at any time. It's low impact, so it's safe for people with injuries or mobility issues. If you have pain in your back or knees that prevents you from doing other kinds of exercise, pilates might be a good alternative to try.
Pilates works the entire body with movements that focus on stretching and strengthening muscles throughout the body--especially those in the core area like the abdominals and lower back. It also helps increase flexibility (which means improved posture) and balance by improving coordination between different muscle groups as well as body alignment while performing exercises at varying levels of difficulty.
