The Pilates tools in areas such as wellness and rehabilitation or physiotherapy centres may have an inadequate design, which can lead to various problems.
Firstly, they can be unstable and move or wobble during training, which poses a safety risk. Often, products are not lubrication-free, and after a period of time, dirt builds up, making transport, set-up and feed-through of the exercises difficult or completely compromised.

In addition, the design may not be ergonomic, which can lead to incorrect posture and load. This in turn can lead to injuries or muscle tension. Another possible problem is insufficient adjustability of the device to adapt it to different body sizes and weights or exercise requirements. This can make training difficult or ineffective. Overall, problems with the design of a piece of fitness equipment can frustrate the user and compromise their training goals.

The Pilates tool has been equipped with the high-quality and maintenance-free igus® products drylin® W linear systems and iglidur® bearings to enable optimum feed-through of the exercises. The linear systems from igus® ensure a precise, smooth and safe movement that enables users to train and strengthen their muscles effectively. Thanks to the device's various lubrication-free adjustment options, exercises can be customised to suit the needs and abilities of each user. The drylin® W linear systems also allow precise control of the resistance and intensity of the exercises, ensuring a safe and effective workout. On the one hand, the drylin® W linear systems support the correct alignment of the body during the exercises, which not only increases effectiveness but also minimises the risk of injury. In addition, they ensure a smooth movement without jerking or swinging, which gives users better control over their muscles and promotes targeted strengthening of specific muscle groups. The linear systems offer a high load capacity to handle large weight loads with ease. Thanks to sliding technology, the adjustments are very quiet, assembly and cleaning are simple and maintenance is completely unnecessary. Our high-quality products Pilates tools with drylin® W linear systems can be used in wellness and rehabilitation centres as well as gyms and physiotherapy centres.
