Exercise Equipment
Let’s remove the pressure straight away.
You do not need a home gym to do these classes.
And you definitely don’t need to go out and buy a list of things before you begin.
You can simply show up as you are.
Most classes are designed to use your bodyweight first and foremost. The focus is on connection, control and progressive strength, not fancy equipment. Clear modifications are always provided so you can work at the level that feels right for your body.
No Equipment? You’re Still Good to Go.
If you’re at home and working with what you’ve got, these swaps work perfectly:
- Pilates ball → a firm cushion or any other ball
- Light weights → tins of food, water bottles, small pantry items
- Resistance bands → a scarf, towel or pair of leggings
- Massage ball → a tennis ball
- Yoga block → sturdy books
