The Pilates Ladder Barrel is a piece of Pilates apparatus that is versatile and effective for improving posture, increasing flexibility, and building core strength. It consists of a barrel-shaped apparatus that is padded and covered in upholstery for comfort during exercises, mounted on a ladder-like frame with wooden rungs. The ladder barrel is often used in Pilates studios, as well as by individuals who want to practice Pilates at home.
It is great to perform a variety of Pilates exercises that target the core, back, and lower body muscles. The Ladder Barrel RC (Rapid Change) has been designed to offer quick barrel adjustment to accommodate different user heights and workouts. Simply open the two quick release cam levers, slide the barrel in or out, and close them to adjust the barrel. With 31cm of adjustability, the Ladder Barrel RC offers industry-leading levels of adjustment. It also comes with two padded standing boards (usually sold separately for around £100), which makes it easy to set up for people of all sizes.
Revisions have been made to the arc and dimensions of the Ladder Barrel RC, which now closely resemble classical proportions. As compared to its predecessor, the RC barrel has a smaller diameter and is now of classical proportion. Additionally, there is an extra 5mm of EVA padding to make the barrel more comfortable. To provide more comfort, there is also now a padded rung wrap, which can be zipped on to any bar.
