When searching for Pilates, most people start with one phrase: reformer Pilates.
But at studio47, we go far beyond that.
We specialize in full apparatus Pilates, offering group reformer classes, group chair classes, and group tower classes across two fully equipped studios in Cape Cod (Mashpee, MA) and Rhode Island (Warren, RI).
If you’re looking for a Pilates experience that is rooted in the full Pilates system—not just one piece of equipment—you’ve found it.
What Is Full Apparatus Pilates?
Full apparatus Pilates refers to training that uses the entire system of Pilates equipment—not just the reformer.
This includes:
- Reformer
- Cadillac
- Chair
- Tower
- Barrels and props
Joseph Pilates designed each piece to work together. The full Pilates system creates strength, control, mobility, and alignment in a way that no single piece of equipment can do alone.
At studio47, we are proud to be a full apparatus Pilates studio, meaning we fully utilize the reformer, Cadillac, chair, and tower in both private sessions and group classes.
The Equipment That Defines the Pilates Experience
The difference between a good Pilates studio and a great one often comes down to the equipment—and how it’s used.
At studio47, we use Balanced Body equipment, the gold standard in the industry, to deliver the highest level of full apparatus Pilates.
Our studios are designed so that every client experiences:
- The precision of the reformer
- The support and versatility of the Cadillac
- The strength-building challenge of the chair
- The dynamic movement of the tower
This is the full Pilates system in action—and it’s what makes our studios stand out in both Cape Cod and Rhode Island.
Group Reformer Classes: The Foundation of Pilates Training
Our group reformer classes are often where clients begin—and for good reason.
The reformer offers:
- Resistance-based strength training
- Core-focused movement
- Full-body conditioning
At both locations, we offer group reformer classes that range from beginner-friendly to athletic and challenging.
If you’re searching for:
- Group reformer classes Cape Cod
- Reformer Pilates Mashpee MA
- Reformer Pilates Warren RI
Our group reformer classes deliver a dynamic, results-driven workout while staying rooted in the principles of the full apparatus Pilates system.
Group Chair Classes: Strength, Control & Precision
The Pilates chair is one of the most powerful—and often overlooked—pieces of equipment.
Our group chair classes focus on:
- Strength and stability
- Balance and control
- Deep core engagement
With multiple EXO chairs in both studios, we are able to offer dedicated group chair classes that challenge clients in a completely different way than reformer work.
If you’ve only experienced reformer classes, adding group chair classes is a game changer—and a key part of the full Pilates system.
Group Tower Classes: Length, Mobility & Support
Our group tower classes bring in the vertical dimension of Pilates training.
Using spring resistance from the tower, these classes emphasize:
- Length and flexibility
- Spinal mobility
- Controlled, supported movement
At both our Cape Cod and Rhode Island locations, group tower classes are a cornerstone of our programming.
Clients love group tower classes because they feel both supported and challenged—making them ideal for beginners and experienced clients alike.
The Cadillac: The Heart of the Full Pilates System
The Cadillac is one of the most versatile pieces in the Pilates system.
At studio47, we incorporate the Cadillac into our full apparatus Pilates programming to:
- Support rehabilitation and alignment
- Build strength through controlled resistance
- Expand movement possibilities beyond the reformer
With multiple Cadillacs across both studios, we ensure that the full Pilates system is fully accessible—not limited.
Fully Equipped Studios in Both Locations
