Review: I am new to Pilates and have just purchased The Pilates Body Kit, with which I am very happy. Learning the control required to complete the exercises is difficult, but Brooke's narration really helps, reminding you to 'scoop' your tummy, when to inhale and exhale, etc. I was skeptical at first, but the CD really is the perfect format, it allows me to totally focus on completing the exercises instead of craning my neck at the TV. It almost seems like I am actually taking a Pilates class from Brooke! Also, the kit is nicely packaged, with color-coded cards for beginning and intermediate exercises. Overall, I highly recommend this kit for anyone wanting to learn Pilates.

Summary: I love it, Can't Recommend it Enough!
Review: I bought Pilates Body a couple of years ago and dug it out recently. It was fantastic for what it was, but it was a little difficult to drag it to the gym and hold my pages while I attemped a pose. The Pilates Body Kit was the perfect solution. Now I just take the few cards of the poses I am learning and the CD that has the class I want to do. I study the flash card before I begin and then lay them to the side. The audio format allows me to focus on my positioning and pace instead of holding a page or craning my neck to see how something's done. I was making steady improvement with her book but since I've gotten my Body Kit, my pilates practice has really taken off!

Summary: Fantastic Idea!

Review: I bought this kit to take with me on the road. I have the Mari Windsor videos and wanted to continue my workouts while away from home which is usually 3 days a week. With my knowledge from the tapes, these cards guided me through a great workout I was able to do in my hotel room. The step-by-step breathing instructions, movements and visualizations ('a balloon pulling me upwards') really helped. One trip I had three collegues join me in the hotel gym and conducted my own Pliates Class. It was easy to instruct as I just read the card. They were able to understand and follow along(none of them had ever tried Pilates before). The next couple days they were all feeling the effects from the great workout. When I see them they always want to get together for Pilates. This is a great card set;easy to pack, take on the road and follow along. Definately reccommend for those that want to keep up with their program or for those that want to an easy & fun exercise program on the road.

Summary: Sustantial Results for a Subtantial Program
Review: I first learned about Brooke Siler after reading her book, The Pilates Body. I am pleased to say she has done it again. The Pilates Body Kit is easy to use and with Brooke's soothing voice on the two CDs, I feel like I'm actually in one of her classes.The workbook and the flash cards are very helpful and really help me conduct movements properly. I know that Brooke trains a lot of big name celebrities, but that doesn't interest me as much as her clear skill in this area. I've already noticed results from using The Pilates Body Kit and plan on getting this for all my friends. It's a must have for anyone who knows about or is interested in getting to know and master Pilates.

Summary: The Pilates Body Kit is superb!!
Review: I first learned about Brooke Siler when I purchased her book, The Pilates Body. I was thrilled when I learned she was coming out with an audio follow up to the book. I love listening to Brooke's calm voice as she walks me through each and every moment. The flash cards really help me visualize how my body should be positioned and serve as a realistic reminder. Bad posture and a not so flat stomach have always been a problem and I can see a dramatic difference since I've started the Pilates program. Although I know Brooke has trained celebrities, that doesn't interest me as much as the results I get from the easy to follow instructions, workbook and flash cards. I feel confident that as I grow in skill, I can continue to use the audio CD to push me to the next level. I have already purchased several kits for my friends as this is the best workout I've done at home in a while. I highly recommend this for anyone who is serious about giving Pilates a try and as a result, changing their body.

Summary: As a certified Pilates Instructor...
Review: I found Siler's book extremely accessible and user friendly. She provides detailed explanations of the exercises, photos to demonstrate the poses, and amazing drawings that evoke imagery and imagination in the workout. Not to mention those CDs! What a fabulous way to learn (or review) a system of exercise without straining your neck to see the TV. As an instructor I would recommend this kit to novices who are seeking Pilates knowledge AND pros who can benefit from Siler's workout tips and words of wisdom. It is definately the best out there!!

Review: I fully expected to love this product. I have been practicing pilates for a number of years, but wanted something to motivate me to work out at home on my own time. I took the discs to 3 different DVD players in my home before realizing that they were audio CD's. Who in the world has ever heard of following exercises (especially ones that need to be done in such a precise manner) to an audio, as opposed to a video? While this workout has the potential to be terrific, I feel that I was totally scammed and the fact that it contains CD's should be made much more obvious.

Summary: fits the flow
Review: I have been doing Pialtes for a long time, and found this system extremely challenging. The photo's and key points to watch for are helping me to find an ever-deepening level to my workout. The basic mat class is always a challenge for when I want to focus on a particular goal, and the intermediate mat class I use 3 days a week to maintain my level of fitness, flexibility, and energy. I love the way this gives me the freedom to workout with an instructor, but precisely when it suits me - it keeps my day flowing perfectly. I recently gave the Kit to my mum as a gift, she focuses more on the modifications (and is yet to accomplish a full modified beginner mat) because of her fitness/injury level, but she gets so excited as she becomes stronger and is able to do more and more. She doesn't care how much she can do, but delights in doing what she can, and the energy and sense of strength it gives her. Thanks for the greater level of independence this has given us!
