These are the videos I workout with at home on my Balanced Body Reformer Trapeze Combination unit.
Peter Fiasca and his team are meticulously clear and superhumanly strong. Complete real-time workouts are shown, ranging from Introductory all the way to Super Advanced (which I'm still working toward). These videos are great to study for technical form, or you can follow along and glance at the screen to see each excercise's name, repetitions & springs. The zippy transitions at the Advanced level really keep the pace up, completing 55+ exercises in about 37 minutes. Bob Liekens' cues are spare and positive and take you right to the meat of each exercise with no music in the background. The aim here is to present the exercises as Joe Pilates designed them in flowing sequence.

This 2 DVD set covers Joe Pilates' traditional work on the Cadillac, Small Barrel, Spine Corrector, Ladder Barrel, Pedi-Pole, The Wall, High Chair, Wunda Chair, Magic Circle, Foot Corrector, Magic Square, Toe Corrector, Sand Bag & Push Up Handles. The comprehensive quality of this collection really shines here, from beginner moves to extended sequences few people will ever dare to try (Christina Gloger's Super Advanced Cadillac is mind-boggling). As each exercise is presented, the name and number of repetitions are shown on the screen. The Wunda Chair progressions are a terrific challenge -- classically-tough Joe Pilates exercises presented by people who can really do them concisely. They seem to be having fun too!

Once you've enjoyed the benefits of the Pilates equipment to strengthen and align your body, it's time for the tough stuff: The Complete Mat Workout Series.
No equipment necessary. Here, the traditional Mat exercises are presented in crisp, fluid succession at various levels, from very Basic to Super Advanced. Peter's presentation of Teaser 1, 2 & 3 and Junghee Kallander's Teaser 4 are fun highlights. The verbal cues are precise and few, allowing you to concentrate and keep moving. Looking for an energy boost? All 30+ exercises at the Advanced level are completed in 20 minutes! -- Mikael, The Pilates Guy
