Review: A must have with any reformer - Awesome book. I just got my own reformer after a year of taking Pilates privately at my local gym. Though my reformer came with a slew of dvds, I knew I wanted everything written down for easy reference. This book was perfect. It's written to the level of professional trainers going through Stott's certifications which means nothing is watered down. Also, there's an element throughout of teaching how to teach. So there are fully fleshed out visualizations, details on muscle groups, even target protections for the individual exercises. After reading this book, I finally feel like I'm starting to understand how to breathe, where all these illusive abs are that wrap around the body, and the purpose and goal of each exercise. This is not something to skim, it's something to take a day and read word for word. And then reference back to as needed. I assume mine will soon be filled with post-it dividers. There is a coordinating dvd, which was one that came with the reformer, and also a wall chart. Though the wall chart is a bit pricey, and seems to be all the exercises from the book distilled to a photo & blurb together on 1 page... unless I'm missing something. I'm looking forward to the continuation of material once I master the essential level. The next levels progress in the same fashion with the sets of book, dvd, wall chart. Very organized. I like it. I like Stott. Yay Pilates!
Review: Exactly what I hoped!!! - This book is awesome. Exactly what I was hoping it would be. Explains every exercise in great detail, lots of photos, discusses proper alignment, modifications, what muscles are being worked, etc. Might be a bit tedious reading for a beginner in Pilates. You really need to have your own reformer or access to one while reading, so you can try out each of the exercises and modifications. So glad I ordered!!!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this manual cover spring settings for each exercise?**
A: Thanks very much for your question.

this manual does cover spring settings for each exercise

**Q: Are these books / manuals are original copy of Merrithew or they are photostat?**
A: These manuals are all in color and are on nice thick paper. I don’t know if they are original but they are not just photocopies.

**Q: Is the manual the same as dvd for essentials?**
A: Thank you for your inquiry.No they are not the same.   The manual would be more technical and contains variations of the same exercises.  Although it's primarily used by STOTT PILATES students as a learning aid, it could also be used as a reference tool for the at home consumer.Whereas, the DVD uses non industry terminology to walk the consumer thru a pre choreographed, full body workout.I hope this answers your question.  If you require further clarification please let us know.

**Q: What exercises are included in this book? I'm concerned about overlap between the intermediate manual which I already own.**
A: Thank you for reaching out with you question.
There will be some overlap between the Essential manual and the Intermediate manual. In the full Intermediate repertoire, some of the exercises are repeated from the Essential, some are variations of an Essential exercise and some are unique to that level.

Great manual for description of exercises with easy to understand pictures. Very basic as far as Pilates goes. I use it for a reference to remember where to start with people new to Pilates.
