OUR TOWER + CHAIR CLASSES
WHAT IS TOWER + CHAIR PILATES?
A lot of people wonder if this torturous-looking equipment is a new invention.
No, it’s not! Can you believe it! Joseph Pilates designed the Pilates Chair in 1945 and the Tower (often referred to as the Cadillac) later in the 1950s. These pieces of equipment were created to enhance his method of physical fitness and rehabilitation.
We are the only studio in Manchester who offer Tower + Chair Classes
