Loops, handles, footstraps
Loops, handles, and footstraps are essential tools during Pilates training on reformers, reformers with towers, and Cadillacs. These indispensable accessories allow for exercises where securely holding with hands or feet is key for safety, comfort, and effectiveness. Their wide range of attachment types and materials allows customization to the type of equipment and individual user needs.
Among them, in addition to the most standard and universal single loops, there are also the double loops invented by Balanced Body (which combine two loop types in one: a short loop for hands and a longer loop for feet) and less typical loops providing additional support for feet or hands, such as Tri-Loops and Y-Loops. They are attached using metal clips or the SoftTouch system without metal parts for quieter operation, available in cotton or padded versions, allowing for choice based on personal preferences.
For users seeking even more comfort, Balanced Body also offers neoprene-lined handles that ensure a secure and comfortable grip. Noteworthy are also the classic handles made of wood and natural leather or metal, faithfully recreating the original elements of Joe Pilates’ studio equipment.
Among the most popular accessories, in addition to loops and handles, are footstraps that match the appropriate reformers, used during exercises with the Sitting Box. Whether in cotton or padded versions, they ensure secure foot placement and a safe body position during many exercises.
All accessories are carefully matched to the specific models of Balanced Body equipment, ensuring a comfortable and safe training experience.
