Welcome to learn about Trainikamat.fi's pilates selection, where we offer high-quality equipment for both equipment pilates and mat pilates. Pilates is a versatile and effective form of exercise that focuses especially on strengthening the middle body, i.e. the core, improving mobility and correcting posture.
Pilates is suitable for everyone, regardless of age or fitness background, as the movements can be easily adapted to suit each trainee. Pilates is especially popular among those who want to develop body awareness and control and reduce stress and tension. Under the guidance of a professional, Pilates is also suitable for many people recovering from illness or surgery.
In our selection you will find high-quality Align-Pilates reformers and versatile mat pilates equipment, such as pilates rings, balls, ankle weights and foam rollers.
Machine pilates and mat pilates - What is the difference?
Equipment manipulation is practiced with purpose-built equipment, such as a reformer, wunda chair or cadillac, designed to support and guide movements while providing resistance. Machine Pilates is an effective way to develop muscle strength, improve mobility and increase body control. This form of training is an excellent option for those who need an individually adapted training, as the equipment allows the movements to be precisely adjusted according to the needs of each trainee.
It's easy to do machine pilates at many pilates studios and with the help of a reformer you can buy at home.
Mat Pilates, on the other hand, is performed on a mat without equipment, using your own body weight as resistance. Mat Pilates is a full-body strengthening exercise, but focuses on the deep abdominal and back muscles, which are essential for maintaining good posture and balance. It is an approachable form of Pilates that can be started at home with basic equipment, such as a Pilates mat and balls.
How does pilates develop the body and mind?
Pilates exercises develop muscle strength and endurance, especially in the mid-body area, which is key to full-body strength and stability. Regular Pilates practice also improves mobility and joint range of motion, which reduces the risk of injury and improves performance in other sports and everyday life.
Although pilates is a calm exercise in style, it still offers a great challenge for exercisers of all levels.
In addition, Pilates helps develop body awareness, which teaches you to better know your own body's limits and abilities. This promotes better body control and posture correction even outside of exercise. Pilates has also been found to reduce stress and promote peace of mind, thanks to its focused and calm practice style. Pilates often also includes a lot of stretching and opening movement sets.
Who is Pilates suitable for?
Pilates is especially suitable for those who want a gentle but effective way to develop their body and mind. It is a popular option among office workers, for whom long working days cause neck and back problems, but athletes and seniors also find benefits from Pilates. Pilates is a safe and adaptable form of exercise that is also suitable for pregnant women and people rehabilitating (always ask a doctor, a competent Pilates teacher or other expert for instructions before exercising).
