“Concentrate on the correct movement each time you exercise, lest you do them improperly and thus lose all vital benefits.” Joseph Pilates
To make the most of your Pilate’s journey, JLB Pilates incorporates many different apparatuses in our Pilates classes and private sessions. Here’s a closer look at one of our most effective tools: the Cadillac.
Why Would I Need to Use a Pilates Cadillac?
At JLB Pilates, our goal is to heal through movement to improve your mind, body, and spirit. We want to challenge our clients regardless of their current fitness level and help them improve their strength, flexibility, and balance. To do so, we often use Cadillacs to help our clients challenge the skills they have learned from mat and Reformer.
The Cadillac is the most versatile apparatus in the studio. We use the Cadillac to help our clients build stamina, strength and flexibility. It incorporates exercises from multiple other apparatuses including mat, tower, and Reformer. In addition, we can use the Cadillac to add inversion exercises that challenge clients challenged even more.
The Cadillac’s design looks like a four-poster bedframe. From the frame hangs a trapeze, roll back bar, push through bar, handles, and springs. The trapeze slides across the top of the frame. The push through bar, roll back bar, handles and springs hang from opposite sides. The purpose for this design is to challenge all ranges of motion and maximize strength, flexibility, and balance.
The versatility of the Cadillac makes it easy for us to tailor your Pilates practice to meet your current needs. Our goal is to continue to challenge your mind and body for a deeper connection to center. As well as advance your skills and personal practice.
What’s Special About the Balanced Body Cadillacs?
The JLB Pilates Balanced Body Cadillacs are sturdy, reliable, and feature all the accessories you need to take the next step in your Pilates journey, whether you are recovering from an injury or building your Pilates foundational skills.
Our Cadillacs feature twelve of Balanced Body’s Signature Springs, which allow us to fully customize your practice. The apparatus’s push-through bar can be used in three different heights and configured as a 3-sided or 4-sided bar. The padded trapeze bar and fleece-lined canopy loops round out the Cadillac’s accessories.
