This and all the others in this series set a standard for Pilates practice. It is the Strunk and White of Pilates instruction.
THe videos take practitioners through stepped levels towards a strong intermediate level. The demonstrators have perfect form, and rythm and the commentary, though spare is just what you need.
Rating: 5 / 5
A ‘must-have’ in every professional Pilates trainers’ collection which should be consulted on a regular basis. Not for ‘home-use’ by non-professionals though.

The Studio Equipment Series DVD is an impressive masterwork of pure technique, precision, expertise, perfection and accuracy in following Joseph H. Pilates original method. It is masterpiece in showing the depth and broad scope of the complete method on all the equipment Joseph H. Pilates invented.
There is no other source of his complete method on all the equipment in visual form making this DVD “one of a kind”. It is an “absolute must have” for anyone studying to become a certified teacher or anyone learning the full method.
The insightful and thought provoking instructions and comments from Bob and Alycea stimulate and engage the mind to participate fully in each exercise making this DVD a teaching guide to be used over and over again to completely understand the proper performance of the method.
The accurate and precise visuals of the certified teachers clearly show how to perform safely and correctly the beautiful flowing rhythmic movements on all the equipment. The benefits of following this full method are obvious in the incredible stamina, flexibility and fitness of the soloists.
As I learn these exercises I am increasing my ability to strengthen and correct posture and participate in more advanced Pilates movements and activities such as advanced dance classes. I am very grateful to have acquired these abilities by following the instruction of this equipment series along with the mat and reformer series. I am also learning how these exercises are a rehabilitative tool as I recovering from a car accident and have been told that my previous work in the Pilates Method prevented more severe damage to my spine and neck. That is another reason why I recommend the Classical Pilates Mat, Reformer and Equipment Series so strongly having been properly taught this original life altering method.
The group of individuals on all the Classical Pilates Workout Series are dedicated to giving the purest form of the original method and clearing up the misinformation about what Pilates is and is not. There is an interesting discussion at the end of the DVD addressing some of these issues.
This DVD is an excellent masterwork that I highly recommend for all students dedicated to following the original Pilates Method or anyone who wants to learn it.
