No other book this comprehensive can beat the price of Rael’s Pilates book. This is a good book for people who practises pilates in various ways including the cadillac. It is a step-by-step guide to the pilates exercises. But honestly how many people who do pilates on the reformer goes back to the mat? I just bought a reformer and it’s worked out for me better than the mat exercises. It’s nice that it offers everything within the book but if you want to focus, Ellie’s book is better. I use this book for reference but in terms of reformer exercises Ellie’s book cover pretty much everything including the box and stick. That’s just my experience.

Loved the book. A twist on some of the traditional apparatus exercises, but a good twist. I liked the set up by piece of equipment and the Fundamental exercises. I loved the model/Instructors. I hope they make a more advanced version.

I am a certified Pilates mat and reformer instructor and have gathered quite a few Pilates books over the years. This book has lots of information in it, with clear instruction and photos. The book is paperback and quite thick. It is an amazing value considering all the contents.
