What is the difference between mat and equipment Pilates?
Mat and equipment Pilates classes provide similar benefits but are quite different in many ways. This brief description of the differences between the two types of practices can help you choose the appropriate class. If you have more questions, please contact any front desk wellness coordinator. We can discuss your goals and options and will gladly give you further guidance. You can also read more on the mat or equipment specific pages of our site.
Mat Pilates
- Takes place in a group with exercises performed on a mat
- Creates resistance using your own body weight and light equipment

- Can be done at home or while traveling, in any space in which you can lay a mat
- Is also available to first-time students who enter a class with a two-class introductory card
Equipment Pilates
- Is semi-private with a maximum size of three people to provide personal attention
- Is offered in 10-week sessions
- May include work on the Reformer, Tower, Cadillac, Wunda Chair, or Barrel
- Creates additional resistance with pulleys and springs to provide the most efficient and effective Pilates workout
