Working with our customer to bring her vision of a private reformer pilates studio to life. This single garage has been completely reinvented and really showcases what can be achieved with careful planning and an eye for detail.
Feeling that her current garage was dark and depressing and struggling to envisage how it could turn into a usable space, our client got in touch with us to bring our knowledge and experience into play.
The result was a bright space that was a blank canvas to unleash her creativity and add all the finishing touches for her perfect studio. Our client has now quit her corporate job and opened her own business – Evolve Reformer Pilates – sharing her love of pilates with her clients and balancing her family life.
If you would love a similar set-up in your garage, get in touch to discuss your ideas and we’ll help you turn it into a reality. Start by filling in our online form and we’ll get in touch to book your complimentary project appointment.

http://www.pilatesology.com In this apparatus demonstration, Kathi Ross-Nash thoroughly explains the uses and proportions of the traditional Reformer and the reasons Joe Pilates created it the way he did. Kathi first shows you how to properly set up and use your Reformer, explaining how the angles of the footbar, shoulder blocks, straps, etc… are proportioned to fit any body regardless of height. She then takes a student through a beginner level workout to illustrate how the body fits within the frame that the Reformer provides, and how the exercises here parallel the exercises on the mat. Whether you’re a Pilates enthusiast or an Instructor of many years, there is much to learn from Kathi’s talent for communicating and evoking the exacting standards and true depth in the Pilates method. If you enjoy this class, check out Flowing Beginner Workout, where Kathi puts it all together in a workout format. Filmed at American Body Tech, Kathryn Ross-Nash’s Allendale, NJ studio.

MeJo often gets asked by students how the Gratz apparatus is different than other Pilates apparatus. In this mini workshop she demonstrates how the exercises are altered when changes to the apparatus take place. You’ll see for instance how if you change the angle of the strap by putting it up on risers, it changes the angle of every arm exercise, or how the gear placement alters how much work is required to pull the carriage back in—a crucial element in the Pilates method. It’s fascinating information that will help you get more out of your Gratz as well as show why Joe built it the way he did. Filmed at Alycea Ungaro’s Real Pilates™, New York, NY. Video Rating: / 5
