Completely unsponsored for this so you KNOW this rec is legit. I’ve used this reformer for years now. It’s beginner friendly, easy to set up, and cost effective compared to other reformers. They also come with an instructional video too, but I usuall...
AeroPilates - Exercise Equipment
A must have for beginners! You can get this for literally $5 on amazon and it’s worth it. I use mine for squeezing between my knees as well as a head cushion when I’m doing lay-down exercises.
Pro Body Pilates Ball
LOVEEEEE this for leg day!! I do adductors and abductors with this on my reformer and I feel so sore after. It’s multifunctional so you can use it for arms and abs as well!
Pilates Ring Bonus Content
Highly recommend investing in fabric resistance bands like this instead of rubber. The rubber ones break and snap over time, and they’ll lose their effectiveness. Fabric bands will stay on your legs and not stretch out.
Fabric Round Hip Band Set - All In Motion™: Polyester Rubber Resistance Bands
Trust me when I say that 3-5 lbs dumbbell wise is ENOUGH when incorporating into your reformer routine! I use two and while doing a leg routine on the bar, I also incorporate chest presses. Great for multitasking!
Blogilates Jelly Hand Weight Dumbbell - 3lbs
If starting out in mat Pilates, it’s worth splurging on a high quality yoga mat! These mats from Popflex are very cushiony and also looks soooo cute! They’re a fantastic quality and last wayyyyy longer than cheaper versions.
Yoga Mats

A must have for Pilates. You might think bare feet would help but think again. When I have these on my feet, I feel rock solid and SAFE, especially when I’m doing standing exercises. Plus, way more hygienic if you’re working out in a studio!
Pilates Yoga Socks: Non-Slip, Cushioned & Breathable
The COMFIEST leggings that come in a ton of cute styles but are also cost effective! And they have pockets!!

Favorite sports bra that keeps me feeling stable while also coming in an assortment of cute colors!
Corset Bra - Black
I basically live in these joggers. They’re great if you’re working out in a cold Pilates studio, but are also perfect if you’re jet setting somewhere! Sooooo comfy and are such a high quality!
Ooey Gooey Jogger - Black
Old Navy has an incredible line of workout clothes. I’ve bought sports bras, leggings, and zip ups from there ages ago that I still wear today!
