PILATES CHAIR

The Pilates chair is one of the most versatile and space-efficient pieces of classical Pilates equipment. Originally designed by Joseph Pilates, the chair uses spring-loaded pedals to create resistance for exercises that challenge balance, core stability and lower body strength. Its compact footprint makes it ideal for home studios, commercial spaces and clinical settings where floor space is limited.

Pilates Chairs for Home and Studio Use in Australia

Elina Pilates chairs are built with premium materials including solid maple wood frames, stainless steel components and high-density upholstery. Each model features adjustable spring resistance, allowing practitioners of all levels to progress safely through their training.

Wunda Chair — The Classical Foundation

The Wunda Classic Chair is the most traditional style of Pilates chair. Built from solid maple wood, it features a simple padded seat, two springs with multiple hook positions and a single pedal. This design stays true to Joseph Pilates' original concept and suits practitioners who prefer classical methodology.

The Wunda chair is commonly used for exercises like footwork, standing pumps, going up front and side, and seated pressing. Its minimal design focuses attention on form and control.

Combo Chairs — Expanded Versatility

Combo chairs add removable handles and split pedals to the standard Wunda design, significantly expanding exercise options.

The Elite Pilates Combo Chair features adjustable-height handles, four spring positions per spring, and pedals that can be used together or independently. This versatility makes it suitable for a wider range of clients and exercise progressions.

Elina Pilates combo chairs are available with either a wooden base or steel base. The steel base model is lighter and easier to transport, while the wooden base offers a traditional aesthetic and solid feel.

Electric Chair (Combined Wunda)

The Classic Electric Pilates Chair combines the Wunda chair with vertical handles mounted on either side of the seat. These handles provide support for balance-intensive exercises and allow users to perform movements with greater precision.

Built on a maple wood base with galvanised steel tubing and aluminium handles, this model suits studios and clinics where clients require additional stability during training.

Alma Chair — Modern Design

The Pilates Chair Alma brings a contemporary aesthetic to the classical Pilates chair. It features two adjustable resistance springs, a split pedal system and integrated elastic bands with handles for upper body work.

The Alma is designed for practitioners who want quality and style in a single piece of equipment.

Baby Chair — Rehabilitation and Teaching

The Baby Pilates Chair (also known as the Arm Chair) is a smaller apparatus designed for upper body strengthening and rehabilitation. Users sit or kneel on the base and press against a spring-loaded backrest using handles.

With over 60 possible exercises, the Baby Chair is particularly useful for clients recovering from injury, those with neck problems, and instructors teaching beginners. Its compact size allows easy positioning within a studio layout.
