Joseph Pilates, the creator of pilates designed Pilates Chair equipment for the small New York houses. Chair is nowadays widely used for both the body control and balance exercises.
Initial chairs were without the handles. However the handles give the opportunity for dozens of extra exercises.

The advantage of chair equipment is its compactness. Two wheels at the bottom of the body make it easy to move the chair after completing the exercises. The wheels do not touch the ground during the exercises. Therefore, the chair is robust and stable during the exercises.

Chair comes with 4 pieces of springs with 2 different levels of hardness. The user can replace the springs easily once they are wore or just to upgrade to the harder springs. The color of the leather is black, by default, however different colors are available, upon request.

First chair equipment are created by adding some features to ordinary kitchen chairs. After a short time, the manufacturers started to produce a special chair equipment for pilates exercises. Exercises on the Chair gives the flexibility, strengthen the abdominal and leg muscles.
