Pilates Balls

Pilates Balls for Core Training, Stability Work and Rehabilitation in Australia

The Elina Pilates ball range includes soft vinyl mini balls in multiple sizes for targeted muscle activation, plus professional-grade Tecnocaucho® stability balls built to withstand intensive studio use. Each ball is designed to add instability, challenge balance and engage deep stabilising muscles that standard exercises alone cannot reach.

Small Pilates balls — often called mini balls or soft balls — are essential tools for mat work and reformer exercises. Made from durable vinyl, these balls are lightweight, soft to the touch and washable for hygienic studio use.

The 16cm Pilates Ball is ideal for precise placement between knees or ankles during leg work, activating inner thighs and pelvic floor muscles. The 20cm Pilates Ball offers additional support for lumbar placement during abdominal exercises or between the thighs for adductor engagement. The 24cm Pilates Ball provides greater surface area for spinal support, chest opening and balance challenges.

Mini balls add instability to familiar exercises, forcing deeper muscle engagement. Place one under your sacrum during bridging, between your knees during footwork, or behind your mid-back during abdominal curls to transform basic movements into advanced core challenges.

For larger stability ball work, the Tecnocaucho® range represents the most technologically advanced fitness balls available. Made from rubber without PVC, these Spanish-manufactured balls deliver resistance and durability never before seen in fitness balls.

The 65cm Tecnocaucho® Lite is suited to practitioners under 170cm tall and supports over 600kg in laboratory testing. The 75cm Tecnocaucho® Pro is designed for taller practitioners and professional studio environments, supporting over 1,000kg with maximum abrasion resistance.

Both models feature an amorphous molecular system material that deflates slowly in the unlikely event of a puncture — providing extra safety for users. Manufactured in Spain with eco-friendly materials in compliance with European safety, health and environmental regulations. 100% recyclable.

Pilates balls work by introducing instability. When you sit, lie or balance on an unstable surface, your body must recruit deep stabilising muscles to maintain position. This neuromuscular challenge builds core strength, improves proprioception and develops the balance control central to Pilates practice.

Mini balls placed between limbs create resistance for squeezing movements that target inner thighs, pelvic floor and adductors. Placed under the spine, they provide feedback for spinal articulation and support during challenging abdominal work.

Large stability balls enable seated exercises that challenge balance, back extensions over a curved surface, and supported positions for practitioners who find floor work uncomfortable. They're particularly valuable in rehabilitation settings where controlled instability helps rebuild strength and coordination.

Mini balls (16-24cm): Choose based on the exercise and body area. Smaller balls (16cm) suit precise placement between knees or ankles. Larger mini balls (24cm) provide more support for lumbar and thoracic spine work.

Stability balls (65-75cm): Size based on your height. When seated on a properly inflated ball, your thighs should be parallel to the floor with feet flat. The 65cm ball suits practitioners under 170cm tall. The 75cm ball suits those over 170cm. For studio use, stock both sizes to accommodate different clients.

All balls in our range are suitable for both home and professional use. However, the Tecnocaucho® Pro range is specifically chosen by Pilates, fitness, functional training and rehabilitation professionals for its superior durability and weight capacity. Studios running multiple daily classes benefit from the enhanced abrasion resistance and longer lifespan of professional-grade balls.

For home practitioners, the Tecnocaucho® Lite range offers the same slow-deflation safety technology at a more accessible price point while still supporting over 600kg.

Keep your studio organised with dedicated ball storage. The Fitness Ball Rack (10 Units) is a floor-standing unit that stores and displays multiple balls efficiently. The Wall Mount Fitness Ball Rack maximises floor space by mounting balls vertically — ideal for smaller studios. Proper storage extends ball lifespan and maintains a professional studio environment.

Elina Pilates stocks balls trusted by professionals worldwide. The Tecnocaucho® range is manufactured in Spain using eco-friendly, 100% recyclable materials that meet strict European safety standards. Mini balls are made from durable, washable vinyl suitable for hygienic multi-user environments. All balls ship to Australian addresses with fast delivery.
