Apparatus of the Month Spotlight → Wunda Chair

July Apparatus of the Month

Throughout July, the Spine Corrector inspired a range of creative movement reminding us why this versatile piece remains a cornerstone of the Pilates Method.

The Spine Corrector helps practitioners strengthen deep core connections, improve mobility, and develop the control needed for more advanced work. Its arc creates space to open the chest, lengthen the spine, and refine the connection between the body and mind.

It’s a quiet powerhouse, building the strength, alignment, and awareness that carry through the Pilates Method.

Community Highlights

Introducing August Apparatus of the Month: Wunda Chair

Reformer Class

Studio Featured: Everybody Pilates

The Wunda Chair is one of the most challenging and versatile pieces in the Classical Pilates system. Originally designed by Joseph Pilates as a dual-purpose piece of furniture and exercise equipment, this seemingly simple chair offers a full-body workout that demands strength, balance, and control.

Its versatility makes it ideal for both studio and home use, providing endless opportunities to progress and refine technique.

We can’t wait to see the teaching insights and creative Wunda Chair content you post. Tag @gratz_pilates — we love sharing how our community brings Gratz apparatus into their practice.
