The Reformer gets all the spotlight — but the Mat, Wunda Chair, and Springboard are the unsung heroes of Pilates. Each one challenges your body in unique and powerful ways.”
At Love Pilates Huntington Beach, the Reformer gets a lot of love (and it deserves it!). But Joseph Pilates created so much more. The Mat, Wunda Chair, and Cadillac (Springboard) are the unsung heroes of the Pilates system — and they’re here to help you build strength, mobility, and balance in ways the Reformer simply can’t.
Here’s a peek at what each brings to your practice:
🌟 The Mat
The original Pilates workout. Without springs to guide you, your body does all the work. This builds incredible core strength, control, and precision.
🌟 The Springboard (Cadillac)
Think of it as your best friend for posture and mobility. Springs from above and behind support your movement, help decompress your spine, and create space in your joints. Perfect for reducing stiffness and improving flexibility.
🌟 The Wunda Chair
Don’t be fooled by its small size! The Chair challenges balance and stability like nothing else. It builds functional strength you’ll notice in everyday life — whether it’s climbing stairs, carrying groceries, swinging a golf club, or playing pickleball.

👉 Each of these pieces fills in the “gaps” left by only training on the Reformer. Together, they give you a balanced, resilient body that can move with strength and ease for years to come.
✨ Your challenge this month: Add one non-Reformer class to your schedule. Notice how your body feels different afterward — stronger, more open, more grounded.
Pilates isn’t just one machine. It’s a complete system designed to help you live your best, most active life.
See you in class,
