A versatile piece of training equipment for stability and body awareness

The Exer-Soft Pilates Ball from Align Pilates is specially designed to add variety to your training and provide targeted challenges for the body. Whether in a studio, at a sports club or during supervised training: the ball can be placed between the body and the floor to place additional demands on balance and control. This is particularly useful for exercises that target specific areas such as the lower back, knees or the pelvis, where it can act as a soft, dynamic component to help increase stability.

Use in Pilates training and Reformer accessories

In a Pilates context, the ball can be used both in mat routines and as part of a Reformer setup. By positioning the ball strategically, an unstable or yielding contact surface is created, which means muscle activity in the core is challenged more intensely. This is particularly useful if you wish to build exercises based on breath control, precise alignment and controlled movement. Participants benefit from the fact that the level of difficulty can be adjusted via the inflation pressure: using the included straw, the ball can be inflated to be firmer or softer, depending on the exercise objective.

Safety, handling and practical usage instructions

The Exer-Soft Pilates Ball is non-slip and has been designed so that it does not ‘burst’. Instead, it slowly deflates if the maximum load limit is exceeded. This promotes safe handling during training and can help mitigate situations involving unexpected overloading. In practice, this means that the ball can be used flexibly both in day-to-day training and in studio settings. It is also possible to deflate the ball completely for transport or storage. This makes it well-suited for situations where equipment is regularly moved between class rooms or training areas.

Care: Clean the Pilates Ball after your workout with a clean, damp cloth. Please do not use harsh cleaning agents. The specific handling and choice of exercises should be based on your training programme and the relevant guidelines provided by the supervising staff.
