Apparatix™

Engineered by Master Pilates Instructors to deliver a full-body, dynamic circuit that challenges, sculpts, and transforms—perfect for every fitness level.

The Apparatix™ Experience

Apparatix™ is the first class of its kind: a full-body Pilates circuit designed by Master-Level Pilates Instructors Jennifer Scherer and Jeff Smith. In just 60 minutes, you’ll rotate through six Pilates apparatus stations, experiencing strength, mobility, alignment, control, and cardio-inspired movement—all in a joint-friendly, low-impact format that’s safe for every body.

This innovative format blends Classical Pilates precision Pilates with dynamic circuit training to create a class that is truly unlike anything else in the region.

What Makes Apparatix™ Unique?

Dynamic, Circuit-Style Training Across Six Apparatus Stations

Every 60-minute class includes all six major Pilates apparatus. You’ll spend 7.5 minutes per station, with 90 seconds to transition, keeping the pace energizing, engaging, and perfectly structured.

Engineered by Master-Level Pilates Instructors

This is not a typical group reformer or mat pilates class.
Apparatix™ was designed by two Balanced Body Master Pilates Instructors, bringing unmatched expertise in biomechanics, alignment, progression, and true Pilates methodology.

Low-Impact, Joint-Friendly Movement

Each station delivers targeted, restorative strength training without stress on the joints—perfect for beginners, athletes, older adults, and anyone seeking safe, meaningful results.

Personalized Attention in a Small Group Setting

Every participant receives guidance, cueing, and correction—ensuring proper alignment, controlled movement, and safe progression.

Train All Planes of Motion

Unlike most workouts, Apparatix™ trains your body in every dimension—front/back, side-to-side, and rotational—building strength and mobility that translates into everyday life.

The Six Apparatix™ Stations

In each class, you’ll experience all six classical and contemporary Pilates apparatus: used in Joseph Pilates’ original New York studio:

1. CoreAlignLine

Designed for whole-body integration, balance, and functional core strength.

2. Pilates Reformer

Strengthen, lengthen, and stabilize with controlled, resistance-based movement.

3. The Tower

Enhance flexibility, alignment, and spinal articulation through spring-supported training.

4. Pilates Chair

Build unilateral strength, balance, and explosive core control in a compact, powerful format.

5. The Arc

Improve posture, thoracic mobility, and extension with supportive, corrective movement.

6. Mat Pilates Elements

Engage stabilizers and deepen your understanding of classical Pilates fundamentals.

The Pilates Lineage Behind Apparatix™

Apparatix™ is inspired by the rich heritage of Joseph Pilates’ original New York City studio, where clients trained on a full suite of apparatus he invented to restore strength, alignment, and vitality. His studio featured the Reformer, Cadillac/Trapeze Table, Wunda Chair, Barrels, Ladder Barrel, the Guillotine Tower, Magic Circle, Ped-O-Pul, and foundational Matwork.

While today’s Pilates world often focuses on one piece of equipment at a time, Joseph’s method was built on moving the body across multiple apparatus to develop balanced strength and full-body control.

Apparatix™ honors that philosophy—while modernizing it.
We combine the classical apparatus Joseph used with contemporary, research-supported equipment like the CoreAlign™ to train real-life movement, dynamic stability, and joint-friendly strength.

Every circuit was designed by Master Pilates Instructors Jennifer Scherer and Jeff Smith to reflect the principles and precision of Joseph Pilates’ original work—delivered in a format that meets the needs of today’s athletes, active adults, and older movers.

What You’ll Learn Over Time

Across a full year of classes, participants learn hundreds of exercises on each apparatus. You’ll build:

A deep understanding of each piece of equipment
Improved form, awareness, and technique
The ability to transfer skills between stations
A comprehensive Pilates practice that lasts a lifetime

This is the ideal bridge between private training, Pilates mastery, and group energy.

From Jennifer & Jeff — The Creators of Apparatix™

“We wanted to create a class that incorporated all of the Pilates apparatus that Joseph Pilates used in his original studio.

In a 60-minute session, you experience the CoreAlignLine, Reformer, Tower, Chair, Arc, and Mat Elements. Over time you’ll learn dozens—and eventually hundreds—of exercises you can apply to your Pilates practice.

This class trains you in every dimension of movement, improving posture, breathing, joint health, and total-body alignment. You’ll feel stronger, freer, and more capable in your everyday life.”
— Jennifer & Jeff, Balanced Body Master Pilates Instructors
