Rating: - Fine but Not Spectacular
Though this DVD offers many levels, they are not offered alongside one another making the actual time spent performing the exercise at any given level very short. The background and scenery are uninteresting and uninspiring and the models performing the exercises are certainly quite fit but in no way friendly or encouraging. More importantly, there are no verbal cues during each exercise that relate to posturing or form, so if one were not experienced in pilates, it could be easy to injure onself. ... Read More

Rating: - A Regular Routine for Me
I regularly use the DVD Pilates program. It is quick and easy to follow. I worked my way up gradually to the intermediate and advanced programs, depending on how much of a workout I want. People ask me what I do to stay in such great shape. I attribute my core strength, muscle definition, and flexibility primarily to this program. I keeps me injury free and complements my modest running routine. I am a wife, mother of two young children, and work full time. This is much easier than going to the gym or ... Read More

Rating: - for pros only
I've been taking Pilates classes for about 6 months and keep looking for a good video... careful, interesting, not overly easy or impossibly difficult. This isn't it. I think it is really designed for people who are at an expert level.

Rating: - Great complement to Alycea Ungaro's book, "pilates body in motion"
I rented this viedo from Netflix because I had bought Alycea Ungaro's book, "pilates body in motion" and this DVD was recommended by a reviewer on Amazon because it closely followed the book. I wanted to see if it was worth buying. I have to say I am impressed at how closely the DVD does follow the book, which, by the way, is probably the best book to get if you could only buy one book on the subject. First the book: The book starts out with a concise introduction to Pilates principles and philosophy. ... Read More

Rating: - best pilates dvd on the market
For those of us who are looking for a pure, excellent, and VERY rigorous pilates workout, this is the best video on the market. It is totally devoid of the fluff that fills most other pilates videos that I have tried. Granted, it is a very bare-bones video -- but what it lacks in style, it makes up for in challenge and technique. Excellent for even advanced skills.
