In this second edition, world-renowned Pilates expert Rael Isacowitz shows you the same repertoire that he has used to train multiple Olympians as well as an elite group of professional instructors who work with celebrities and athletes around the world. Starting with the foundation for all the exercises, Pilates presents an in-depth treatment of mat work, including photos, imagery cues, and detailed instruction on breathing to help you perform the movements correctly. The mat work in this edition is organized according to a mat-specific version of the comprehensive BASI Block System used for the apparatus work. This arrangement enhances understanding of the expansive repertoire and provides the tools for creating personalized mat routines. A unique set of challenging exercise sequences is offered to facilitate performing the movements in one continuous, flowing motion. After the mat work, where most books stop entirely, Pilates goes on to apply the same depth of instruction and photos to the full range of Pilates apparatus: • Reformer • Cadillac • Wunda chair • Step and ladder barrels • Ped-a-pul • Arm chair • Magic circle The complete repertoire includes a purposeful grouping of exercises into blocks that work all regions of the body and progress from the fundamental level through the intermediate and advanced levels to challenge you at all stages of Pilates development. With more than 200 exercises and more than 50 variations, Pilates is the most comprehensive guide available on the method. As a contemporary approach to the work of Joseph Pilates, this is the one book you need in order to improve your balance, concentration, coordination, posture, muscle tone, core strength, and flexibility—in short, your well-being. Review: Best reformer book out there - These days, you see a lot of youtube tutorials, online comments, but when it comes to an all in one reference and guidance, there really isn’t that much information on the universal pilates reformer. I don’t need to watch 30 min of YouTube video to get to the point. I need a quick reference book so I can learn the material. I came across this book after it came highly recommended by a pilates reformer group. The STOT reformer books are far too expensive given the limited material in the book is not that different from this. This book is exceedingly detailed, comprehensive, and well thought out. Next to the purchase of my reformer, this is probably the best purchase I’ve made! The info in this book is priceless! Review: informative book by an incredible teacher - This book has revolutionized my understanding of Pilates. It uses effective descriptions and visualizations to take you within your body to really feel and understand what each exercise accomplishes. If you're used to group Pilates classes or videos and don't have access to a good one on one teacher, this will take you to another level. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,079,916 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #325 in Pilates (Books) #1,605 in Yoga (Books) #2,362 in General Women's Health | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 258 Reviews | ## Images ![Pilates - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71cfLcvA4kL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best reformer book out there *by S***0 on June 8, 2021* These days, you see a lot of youtube tutorials, online comments, but when it comes to an all in one reference and guidance, there really isn’t that much information on the universal pilates reformer.

I knew at that time that this needed to be in my personal training and fitness library because the rich detail it provides makes me a better instructor, a better athlete, and a stronger practitioner. If you are interested in being any of these, I would encourage you to get this book. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://frenchpolynesia.desertcart.com/products/1744300-pilates](https://frenchpolynesia.desertcart.com/products/1744300-pilates) --- *Product available on Desertcart French Polynesia* *Store origin: PF* *Last updated: 2026-10-21*
