Excellent DVD. I gave this one 5 stars. The Pilates technique is well implemented in this DVD. This DVD starts with the basic technique that is important to people who are starting out. It demonstrates perfect form, which is important when learning the technique. The intermediate has more exercises that are a little more advanced for people who just want a good workout. The season pro will love the advanced, and the super advanced reformer workout. This is a tough workout, and not for someone who does not have enough pilates background. Also the wonderful thing about this series is that it is demonstrated in real time. When the exercise is presented, it shows the name and the number of repetitions on the screen. This makes each exercise easy to understand. You will not be disappointed.

If you are used to the typical work out type video this is not for you. It's hard to explain - there is no real workout, it is one or two people demonstrating each move with a narrator. At the top of the screen they tell you how many reps to do. It goes way too fast to work out with the DVD, it is more educational to learn the moves and then do them on your own. If you already know the moves and form as I do, this will not give you a good workout.

Great DVD if you are looking to sharpen up your technique or learn new moves. It is very no frills with no music or fancy images. I would recommend for those intermediate level and above, it would be too easy to not do moves correctly if you were a beginner. Using the ring in almost all moves really changes the workout and can make even the most advanced practitioner very sore!

I'm new to the magic circle and love it. It has added more potential for toning to short pilates workouts. This DVD in particular is very good--the sequences are challenging while still being doable. You don't waste time between positions--they just flow one right into the other. I enjoy that there are different levels of workouts. Additionally, I would recommend the other Classical Pilates Technique DVDs.

I'm a pilates instructor but before I became certified, I looked very hard to find a tape that would be a no nonsence, straight pilates, no breaks workout. This was a very challenging task to accomplish until I found Classical Pilates. Every one of their tapes is excellent. It teaches REAL pilates and doesn't try sugar coating the exercises or changing them from the original method as Joseph Pilates designed. If you want to learn the real deal, Classical Pilates is the way to go!
