EHS Pilates is home to the original springboard, an innovative exercise tool invented by Ellie Herman.  The springboard (now produced and distributed by Balanced Body) is based on the Pilates Cadillac—classic Pilates equipment invented by Joseph Pilates.

The Pilates Springboard is a 5-foot rectangular wooden board with eyelets placed on both sides in 6-inch increments with a dowel at the bottom to use for arm or foot support. It is equipped with:

• Two arm springs with neoprene handles
• Two leg springs, with cotton loops
• One wooden roll-back bar

The Pilates Springboard classes take you through a warm-up, core strengthening, upper body and lower body conditioning program for all levels accommodating a variety of client needs. Feel the burn. Some of the exercises are from classic Pilates repertoire while others are original exercises developed by Master Pilates teacher Ellie Herman. This user-friendly equipment allows clients to have access to the basics of the Cadillac but in a fun and friendly group environment. The spring attachments aid the user with body stabilization while adding full body exercises.
 
The EHS Pilates faculty has gone through extensive training on this piece of equipment and offer safe and effective group class of all levels. Our spacious Springboard Studio has a maximum capacity of 9 (upstairs studio has 6), allowing for more individualized attention and safety.

Testimonials

“I am very sad that I have moved from the Mission and will have to tack on an additional 45-60 minutes of travel time to get to EHS but they are well worth it. The mat/springboard classes are my favorite and all of the trainers are very knowledgeable and talented. No two classes are the same and the benefits to mind, body and spirit are priceless.” Kat Clare-Client

“In just six weeks, the EHS Springboard classes enabled me to lose the baby pooch that I'd been carrying around for years. My abs are stronger, healthier and flatter than they've ever been!”

"The EHS Springboard is important tool in the Lizz Roman and Dancers conditioning program. Our dancers use the Springboard for specific conditioning and for core stability training. The Springboard has been very beneficial as it enables full range of motion with resistance training.  We have found that we can integrate the Springboard with other tools to improve balance and proprioception while targeting a specific kinetic movement or muscle group.”
