The Pilates Cadillac, also known as the trapeze table, is a versatile and iconic piece of Pilates equipment designed to enhance strength, flexibility, and control. Equipped with springs, bars, straps, and a sturdy frame, it supports a wide range of exercises from rehabilitation to advanced conditioning. The Cadillac allows both assisted and resisted movements, making it ideal for beginners, athletes, and clients recovering from injuries. Its adjustable components enable precise alignment and targeted muscle engagement. By promoting core stability, spinal mobility, and coordinated movement patterns, the Cadillac plays a vital role in developing balanced, functional strength and improving overall body awareness. It has its origins in the early 20th century through the work of Joseph Pilates. During World War I, Pilates was interned in England, where he began developing rehabilitation methods using bed springs attached to hospital beds to help injured soldiers regain strength and mobility. After moving to New York City in the 1920s, he refined these ideas into structured equipment, creating the trapeze table. Because of its large, elaborate frame, clients nicknamed it the “Cadillac”, referencing luxury and sophistication. Over time, the Cadillac has evolved into a cornerstone of Pilates studios worldwide, valued for its versatility in rehabilitation, strength training, and advanced movement practice.
