Kristi Cooper visits Balanced Body™ headquarters in Sacramento, California where Balanced Body™ founder and CEO Ken Endelman shows her an original 1950s Pilates apparatus made and used by Joseph Pilates himself. Designed to look like a chaise lounge, this apparatus is actually both a step barrel and a reformer combination machine. Learn some of the history of the reformer apparatus from Ken Endelman as Kristi tries out a piece of equipment used by Joe himself.

Here is the "classic picture" Ken refers to in the piece. I've seen this picture a million times and I never knew that they were sitting on a reformer. I always thought it was a barrel sitting on top of a mat!
