Props
the fab five

Props enhance your DanceFIT workouts.

Using props in your virtual classes will add variety and fun, but will challenge you! Props can make an exercise more difficult to perform and challenge you to improve. Props can also offer support to prevent injury and aid in performing the exercise correctly.

Here are our five favorites:

Picture

Weighted pilates balls or dumbell hand weights

Used in:  balletFIT, pilates with props, balletFIT cardio, express cardio toneFIT (suggested 1 & 3 pounds)

Link to purchase

Shopping tip: the weighted pilates balls are sold individually, make sure you buy two. Some clients prefer the feel of traditional weights better.  We also recommend adding a set of heavier weights 8-10 for a challenge in Express Cardio Bootcamp

Franklin air ball

Used in: balletFIT, pilates with props

Pilates circle

Used in: deep stretch, roll & relax, pilates with props

Link to purchase


Shopping tip: You can also find these on amazon/ target, etc. For our classes, I suggest the lighter resistance. 

Massage balls & yoga blocks

Link to purchase yoga blocks

massage balls used in deep stretch, roll & relax

yoga blocks used in roll & relax, deep stretch

Shopping tip: there are a few other options out there for massage balls. Sandra prefers the 2.5 inch balls. If you attend roll & relax regularly we recommend getting 2 yoga blocks. A large cookbook is a great alternative, but the blocks will provide the best support. These yoga blocks also come with a strap which can be a nice alternative to the circle :)

Pilates versa tube

Used in: pilates with props

Shopping note: These bands have been discontinued from many sites and are very hard to find. We have a few left at the studio and would be happy to send you a used band or you can swing by the studio to pick one up. Please email me gina@dancefitstudio.com
