User Ratings and Reviews
4 Stars I like Ellie
I like this book and refer to it for Ellie’s spin on things from time to time. A bit pricey (especially when Rael Isacowitz’ book is now but something like $20 and pretty much rocks), but worth it I think. I also like the Pilates props book she wrote.
5 Stars Great Resource
I was very impressed with the quality of the book. The content was very thorough, useful information. The pictures were well done and easy to interpret.
5 Stars Ellie Herman’s Pilates Reformer
This book is well written and describes all of the reformer exercises. The spring information seems to be more geared toward the Balanced Body reformers rather than the Peak Pilates reformers.
5 Stars Great visuals and well written
Love this book and I am going to invest in the other Ellie Herman Pilates books. Her focus is on classical Pilates, with a simple introduction, nice reference and simple definition of each move. The photos are critical for explanation and are a great addition for anyone who is “into” Pilates, who is advancing and who want to make the most of their pilates experience. Highly recommend.
4 Stars Excellent guide
I was looking for a book that gave me as many variations of exercises on the reformer and Ellie’s book is probably the best one out there. The book lays out movements in a clear, step-by-step pictorial explanation for different parts of the body. I could pick and choose what I wanted to do or I could follow the programs she set up from beginners to super advanced. I like this book because it gives you the options to advance as you become very good in using the reformer. The super advanced movements may be dangerous for the inexperienced but it is very motivating as you know you may get there some day.
