Springboard


Add resistance or support to your Pilates exercise regimen.

EHS Pilates is home to the original Springboard studio, 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. Accordingly, Springboard classes combine classic Pilates repertoire with original exercises developed by Master Pilates teacher Ellie Herman. The spring attachments provide added resistance and/or aid the user with body stabilization.

What is a Springboard?

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; and
  • One wooden roll-back bar.

Our spacious Springboard Studio has a maximum capacity of 9, allowing for more individualized attention and safety.

Which Class is Right for You?

Mixed-level group classes are appropriate for those without injuries and with prior Pilates experience (approximately 10 hours). As with all of our mixed level classes, appropriate variations and modifications will be taught for each level. If you are “New to Pilates”, we highly recommend taking at least one private one-on-one session with one our trainers. Private sessions are the fastest way to bring you up to speed for group classes by learning the Pilates language and understanding your body.

Testimonials

"The EHS Springboard is an 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.”
