10 Amazon Finds to Build Your Dream Pilates Studio at Home
If you're obsessed with Pilates but cringing at how fast those class fees add up, it might be time to bring your workout home. Don't get us wrong, we're all about studio sessions like those from Club Pilates or the Pilates-inspired Solidcore, but everyone should know you can tackle a Pilates session at home with just a few essentials — think resistance bands, a workout onesie that won't get in the way, and some hand weights. Pilates is all about versatility — whether you're just starting out with a mat or ready to take on a reformer, you can do it anywhere, no matter your skill level.
To make it easier, we've rounded up 10 Pilates products from Amazon that'll turn any space into your own at-home studio. Keep scrolling to check them out, with prices starting at $10 for a pair of grippy socks, all the way up to a worth-it investment in your very own reformer machine — and everything in between.
Best Grippy Socks
Gaiam Yoga Barre Socks ($10, originally $14)
Grippy socks are a must for your Pilates workout to keep you stable, whether you're on the mat or reformer. This particular pair has thousands of five-star ratings and comes in a variety of colors, plus the option to snag a two-pack.
Best Resistance Bands
Fit Simplify Resistance Loop Exercise Bands ($10, originally $21)
You could easily spend hours exploring all the ways to incorporate resistance bands into your Pilates routine. The best part? They take up virtually no space, and you can toss them in your suitcase for a quick and easy workout on vacation.
Best Pilates Ball
ProBody Pilates Ball Small Exercise Ball ($10, originally $17)
Just like the ever-versatile resistance band, this ball can be used for a ton of different exercises — from planks and push-ups to crunches and wall squats. It's a top-seller on Amazon with nearly 10,000 five-star ratings. "This pilates ball was so easy to inflate," raved one shopper. "It stays inflated throughout the my workout and doesn't need to be re-inflated often . . . Also, you can't beat the price!"
Best Pilates Ring
Gaiam Pilates Ring 15" Fitness Circle ($15)
This ring is perfect for at-home Pilates workouts because it's super versatile — you can use it to strengthen your arms, legs, and core. Place it between your thighs and squeeze, press it between your hands for some serious arm work, or try multiple other combinations to get a good sweat in. The ring itself is lightweight and durable, with foam-padded handles for comfort.
Best Pilates Bar Kit
Pilates Bar Kit with Resistance Bands ($20, originally $28)
If you're just starting out with Pilates and aren't ready to invest in a reformer, this kit is a solid option. A Pilates bar is designed to replicate the movements and resistance training you'd typically do on a reformer, but in a more compact, portable form — no need to turn your living room into a full-on studio. And don't stress about it looking complicated; the kit comes with detailed instructions to guide you through all the moves.
Best Yoga Mat
Amazon Basics 1/2 Inch Extra Thick Exercise Yoga Mat with Carrying Strap ($22)
While you can splurge on a high-end yoga mat if you want, you don't need to thanks to Amazon Basics. This thick yoga mat absorbs shock like a pro, has a textured surface to keep you steady, and even comes with an elastic strap for easy carrying.
Best Onesie
Crz Yoga Butterluxe Athletic Romper ($36)
One of our editors tried (and fell in love with) this brand's compression leggings, and judging by this romper's flood of five-star ratings, we're confident it's just as swoon-worthy. One reviewer called it a "staple piece," dubbing it perfect for the gym, Pilates class, and beyond. It has adjustable straps and a built-in bra with removable padding, and it comes in multiple colors, including chic neutrals and bold pops of colors.
Best Hand Weights
Bala Bars Dumbbell Set ($59)
Who says hand weights can't be aesthetically pleasing? True to Bala's signature blend of function and style, these hand weights are wrapped in soft silicone that's super comfortable to hold — whether you're powering through a Pilates session, going for a walk, or doing yoga.
Best Water Bottle
Owala FreeSip Stainless Steel Can You See Me Bottle 40oz ($60)
One of our editors is obsessed with the 32-ounce version of this bottle, but heads up — it's only available on Amazon in a 40-ounce size, which is honestly even better if you're gearing up for an intense at-home Pilates session. Not only is this bottle cute, but it also has two drinking options: sip through the built-in straw or use the spout for when you need a big swig. Learn more via our Owala Water Bottle Vetted feature.
Editor Quote: "I've tried countless water bottles over the years — so many that I never imagined I'd be genuinely impressed by a new one. I know I sound dramatic, but hear me out: I noticed so many people using this bottle at CorePower Sculpt (IYKYK), so when I spotted this pretty version while perusing the aisles of Academy Sports and Outdoors, I had to see what the hype was about.
I started using it straightaway and the rest was history. Beyond its aesthetics, I fell in love with the dual-function straw. What makes it so great is that you can either sip through the built-in straw (ideal for avoiding spills when it's full) or swig from the spout opening when you need a lot more water at once (perfect for those intense Sculpt classes)." — Marisa Petrarca, contributing editor, Shopping
Best Reformer Machine
AeroPilates Premier Reformer ($600, originally $629)
If you're ready to take the next step in your Pilates game, it might be time to invest in a reformer machine. With one at home, you can create a customized full-body workout that's tough to match in a group session. Yes, it's a big upfront investment, but when you think about how quickly those monthly Pilates memberships add up, it'll probably be worth every penny.
