Lindsay and Moira Merrithew met in New York City when he was studying at Juilliard School of Performing Arts and she was a dancer. While rehabilitating from a broken foot that ended her dancing career, she discovered a then-little-known exercise program developed by Joseph Pilates and became a Pilates instructor. When the couple moved to Toronto, where Lindsay pursued work in theatre, television, and film, they couldn't find proper equipment to use for Pilates exercises and decided to make their own equipment with the help of a carpenter. As Pilates began to gain wider recognition in the early 1990s, the Merrithews seized the opportunity to begin manufacturing modern, professional-quality Pilates equipment. Their company now operates some 30 Pilates training centers in North America as well as manufacturing Pilates equipment and accessories. | | | Features: | |

 maybe too softAug 19, 2008
Isn't as firm as I had hoped based on the description. On a hardwood floor though, works great. Very easy to use and store.
does the jobJul 10, 2008
This mat works great for yoga/pilates due to its thickness and length, which caters to the big and tall. It is also very easy to store due to the velcro straps.
 Perfect for PilatesApr 02, 2008
I spent awhile looking for a mat because so many of them seem to be horrid. I'm very pleased that I chose this one. I've been using it for a couple of months and have no complains except I'm not sure how to clean it (there were no instructions on the packaging). It is very comfortable for moves that require rolling and does not slip. The attached straps are very handy and I have no trouble carting it around to class and back. The only difference I noticed is that the color (I purchased the blue one) is much darker than it appears online.

so softMar 21, 2008
I just recieved this and love it. Yoga mats are too thin and hurt my back. But the mats that are too thick work against the moves in my opinion. This one is perfect, especially when balancing in a V. Forgot name of move. :) Definatly recommend.

nice cushy matNov 22, 2007
This is a great pilates mat. I use it for yoga also, and I can do anything on it. I'm currently using it on top of my old thin yoga mat and it's wonderful. It's getting "stickier" every time I use it too, providing good traction.
