Catherine Giannittio, Director, has used this equipment and added to it over the past 20 years as she is so happy with the quality, it’s Australian and of the highest standard.

Having worked on an extensive range of Pilates equipment over the years, I am happy to recommend PilatesEquip™ equipment.

I know that whenever I purchase from PilatesEquip, I am guaranteed of a superior quality product, unrivalled craftsmanship, forward-thinking enhancements as well as customer service that is of genuine heart and passion.

Our PilatesEquip™ equipment is used 6 days a week and has never let us down. The designs and craftsmanship is second to none.

Pilatesequip™ equipment is easy to assemble, biomechanically correct, well constructed, and looks great in our studio. I regularly recommend their equipment to my instructor students and other Pilates professionals.

Having taught Pilates for 15 years and teaching course for Polestar interstate, I have used many different brands of Pilates machines. PilatesEquip™ is the best equipment I have worked on for quality, performance, reliability and aesthetics.

I tried the Evolution Reformer at the 2012 APMA Conference and I want one! I love the shiny metal look of the foot bar.

We chose to invest in the equipment from PilatesEquip™ for our studio and have found the quality and craftsmanship to be of the highest standard.

I’ve been using PilatesEquip™ equipment since we opened our studio in 2006. I have used other equipment also over the years and PilatesEquip™ is as good or better than everything else.

How does the ladder component add to the exercise range?

The ladder rungs act as anchor points for feet and legs, enabling exercises like side sit-ups, grasshopper, and bridging that aren't possible on a standard barrel. Four rungs give multiple height options to suit different leg lengths and exercise progressions.

Is the High/Ladder Barrel suitable for rehabilitation?

Yes. It's designed for Pilates studios and rehab centres, supporting core strengthening, flexibility, and spinal alignment work across all client levels.

What exercises can be performed on a High/Ladder Barrel?

The High/Ladder Barrel supports a wide range of exercises, including side sit-ups, bridging, short box series, grasshopper, swan, and the abdominal series. It targets core strength, spinal mobility, glutes, hamstrings, and back extensors, making it practical for both rehabilitation programs and advanced strength work.

How easy is the High/Ladder Barrel to adjust between clients?

Very. The handles sit on the outside of the barrel, so there's no kneeling or getting underneath it. With 310mm of lateral adjustment along the rails, you can change the setup in seconds.

How does the High/Ladder Barrel differ from a Spine Corrector?

The High/Ladder Barrel features a steeper, deeper curve attached to a set of wooden rungs, designed for deeper stretching, heavy core stabilisation, and full-body movements. The Spine Corrector has a smaller, gentler curve and is more compact and portable, better suited for targeted spinal support, posture correction, and beginners recovering from injury. If you need a versatile, studio-grade piece that challenges all levels, the High/Ladder Barrel is the stronger choice.

What is the warranty on the High/Ladder Barrel?

We offer a 4-year warranty on our equipment, reflecting our confidence in the durability and quality of our products. This warranty covers manufacturing defects and provides peace of mind for long-term use.

Are there discounts for quantity purchases? Do you offer trade pricing?

Yes, absolutely. Discounts apply when you purchase three or more units of the same item. Bulk pricing makes it easier to fit out your studio or practice while keeping costs down. And yes, these prices are trade prices - because you're buying directly from the manufacturer, you're already getting pricing that avoids typical retail mark-ups. Further discounts may apply depending on the quantity of each item ordered, so feel free to contact us for a personalised quote.

Yes. While many of our customers are Pilates studios and health professionals, we also supply equipment to individuals creating a home Pilates space.
