Bonus Props:
Resistance Bands – These are specifically recommended for Nikki’s Pilates + Strength Class. You could get by with just Therabands but resistance bands definitely work better for certain exercises.

Foam Roller – There are several different types. We recommend you pick according to what you intend to use it for. MELT Rollers are what we have in studio and are softer and can be used for MELT Method Exercises. The OPTP Pro Roller and SPRI Roller are more firm, offer more stability, and are good for traditional rolling. They should not be used for MELT. Be sure to buy the 36″ version!
