Our lovely Central Phoenix location is equipped with the revolutionary BASI Systems F2 Equipment and is the BASI host in Arizona hosting courses and workshops.
TESTIMONIALS
“I love the new equipment! Some of the features take some getting used to, but in a good way for me. It is deepening my practice–makes me more aware of my need to stabilize my body and not rely on the equipment to do it.”
“It makes me work harder for stability, which is so exciting.”
“I love it! It is so smooth and comfortable! I even feel that many of the movements are more beautiful on the new equipment–is that crazy? I could keep my feet on the footbar all day, it feels so good!”
“It is beautiful, comfortable, and I absolutely love it!”
“The design is unbelievable! It is beyond any equipment I have used or seen. I knew from looking at it and feeling it that it was airplane grade aluminum, even before Jody told me. The creator must be a genius!”
The F2 System lies at the heart of BASI Systems Pilates equipment. A true innovation for Pilates movement, it offers unprecedented versatility and precision in spring angle and resistance settings. Springs can be attached to multiple ports on your Reformer, Cadillac, Barrels, Chair and Spine Corrector. Multiple F2 Systems can be used simultaneously to inspire exciting new repertoire possibilities.

My Sunday is Funday practice included this Roll
Up Back Extension from @basipilates Legacy Program.

Master 1 anyone? I am beyond honored, thrilled and excited to be at bpa_usa in March as a Legacy Faculty Assistant! Don’t miss @rael_isacowitz teaching and sharing his lifetime of work!

Back at it! Flying Eagle 2 from @basipilates Mentor Program is so powerful inside and out! Trying hard to reach my arms out to a T as my back extends to neutral for a nanosecond on my way up and back down! I am obviously a heavy breather when necessary—that exhale sure helped my abdominals keep me lifted and safe! This was during my break from Master 1 practice!!! 😁 #pilates #basipilates #bpa_usa #basilegacyprogram #basisystems #raelisacowitz #mybasilife #basifaculty #basifamily #pilatesteacher #pilatesstudent #practicepracticepractice #neverstopexploring #pilatesinstructor #pilatesbody #pilatesforathletes #pilatesformen #pilatesfordancers #pilatesforkids #pilatesforswimmers ##pilatesforeverybody #pilatesfit #strongwomen #hardworkpaysoff #intentionalmovement #onzieleggings #nowisnow

Hello 2022!!! What an amazing weekend it was @bpa_usa teaching the first two modules of @basipilates Foundation Program with @saori_pilates assisting! We welcomed this GREAT group of eager students to the BASI family as they began their BASI journeys! I am so honored and humbled to be a part of it!

My “Wundachair Wednesday” included this Teaser Rotation from @basipilates Legacy program! As it says on the wall behind me—Do What You Think You Cannot Do! Eleanor Roosevelt may not have meant that regarding Pilates, yet I live by her words daily!

Happy New Year!!! Welcome 2022! This last year brought many challenges, personally and professionally. I learned more than ever to BE PRESENT and always GRATEFUL! Now is now…
This Jack Knife on @basisystems F2 Chair from @basipilates Legacy Program was out of reach for me for several years. It was the last exercise in my practice yesterday!😊If I can inspire even one person to leave their comfort zone in some way, then I am successful! #pilates #practicepracticepractice #basipilates #basisystems #raelisacowitz #bpa_usa #basilegacyprogram #mybasilife #basifamily #basifaculty #pilatesteacher #pilatesstudent #basistrong #pilatesforathletes #pilatesformen #pilatesfordancers #pilatesforkids #pilatesforswimmers #pilatesforeverybody #pilatesfitness #strongwomen #hardworkpaysoffs #intentionalmovement #bewhereyouare #nowisnow

Teaser Tuesday! Hope I’m not too late for @bpa_usa Teaser Challenge on the Spine Corrector! My Teaser Prep from @basipilates Comprehensive Progam felt GREAT this morning!!!

Sunday is Funday with Foot Work Long Box Sitting Series! This is from @basipilates Honors Program, part of the Legacy Program, as well as @rael_isacowitz Power of Aging Workshop! After a good warm up, this truly was a full body experience!!! Everything is working intentionally for stability, mobility, strength, and overall control of the movement! I love the incredibly powerful feeling that stays in my body and mind after a great practice session! #pilates #bodymindspirit #basilpilates #bpa_usa #basisystems® #basifamily #basifaculty #basistrong #raelisacowitz #practicepracticepractice #pilatesreformer #pilatesforathletes #pilatesformen #pilatesfordancers #pilatesforkids #pilatesforswimmers #powerofaging #pilatesforeverybody #intentionalmovement #pilatesteacher #pilatesstudent #pilatesbody #strongwomen #pilatesfitness #Itsnotaboutperfection #hardworkpaysoffs #nowisnow #agingisaprivilege #thisissixty #onzieleggings
Happy Monday! Stability before mobility is my mantra today. I LOVE the F2 Arm Chair for so many reasons. These are just two—external and internal shoulder rotation from the Arms Sitting Side Series from @basipilates Legacy Program, also learned in the 2 day Introduction to the F2 System! Shout out to my friend Hillary @pilatesgoddessclothing 😍 #pilates #practicepracticepractice #basipilates #basisystems #practicepracticepractice #raelisacowitz #basilegacyprogram #basifaculty #basifamily #basistrong #pilatesforathletes #pilatesformen #pilatesfordancers #pilatesforkids #pilatesforswimmers #pilatesforeverybody #pilatesteacher #pilatesstudent #pilatesfitness #pilatesbody #strongwomen #neverstopexploring #alwaysastudent #lovewhatyoudo #hardworkpaysoffs
It all starts with a Pelvic Curl! Horseback Round Back on the Ladder Barrel from my practice of Day 3 @basipilates Mentor Program, part of the Legacy Program. Those deep abdominals to left the pelvis make it all happen! #pilates #pilatesteacher #pilatesstudent #intentionalmovement #basipilates #basisystems #raelisacowitz #basifaculty #basifamily #basistrong #pilatesforathletes #pilatesformen #pilatesfordancers #pilatesforkids #pilatesforswimmers #pilatesforeverybody #pilatesfitness #practicepracticepractice #neverstopexploring #strongwomen #hardworkpaysoffs #onzieleggings
Soaring into 60 with this Flying Eagle 2 from @basipilates Mentor Program, part of the Legacy Program. My practice last week was mostly from day 1, and this week I practiced day 2! So much of the work is out of my comfort zone, especially these back extension exercises. So much going on, and for me the key is using my abdominals like mad to hold my trunk up as safely as possible. A diagnosis of Stenosis several years ago put this exercise out of reach for me, and I have slowly rebuilt my support system. Some days are better than others!!!#pilates #dowhatyouthinkyoucannotdo #thisis60 #basipilates #basilegacyprogram #basisystems #raelisacowitz #basistrong #basifaculty #basifamily #powerofaging #practicepracticepractice #neverstopexploring #pilatesforathletes #pilatesformen #pilatesfordancers #pilatesforkids #pilatesforswimmers #pilatesforeverybody #pilatesfitness #pilatesbody #pilatesteacher #pilatesstudent #strongwomen #alwaysastudent #hardworkpaysoffs #onzieleggings #nowisnow
There is a reason for the Prep!!! When my body is ready, willing and able…Hanging Front from @basipilates Mentor Program, part of the Legacy Program. It is not simply about strength! After several Preps on each side, I could manage a couple of the full exercise. YEARS of working on this one!
Some days are better than others.

Friday practice—taking my time to get to this one! Up Stretch 2 with Trapeze from @basipilates Honors Program, the fourth step in the Legacy Program! After completing the inaugural Honors in 2019, repeating it in June 2021, I am slowly making my way through the exercises that I either haven’t tried yet, don’t need a “spotter” for, or haven’t succeeded with so far! #mybasijourney #pilates #basilpilates #basilegacyprogram #raelisacowitz #basisystems #basifamily #basifaculty #basistrong #practicepracticepractice #strongwomen #neverstopexploring #pilatesbody #pilatesforathletes #pilatesformen #pilatesfirkids #pilatesfordancers #pilatesforswimmers #pilatesforeverybody #pilatesfitness #itsnotaboutperfection #intentionalmovement #nowisnow #hardworkpaysoffs #swearisrael #trainingforsixty

Friday fun with this Rollover with the Roll-Up Bar from @basipilates Legacy Program on @basisystems Cadillac. It has taken me several years to be able to find the balance between the breath, the arms, and the abdominals to lift my pelvis and send my legs overhead without my arms touching the mat. Progress! The beauty of this work is that it is truly endless and we never stop learning!!! #pilates #practicepracticepractice #basipilates #basilegacyprogram #basisystems #rael_isacowitz #basifaculty #basifamily #basistrong #strongwomen #whatadifferenceabreathmakes #pilatesteacher #pilatesstudent #pilatesforathletes #pilatesformen #pilatesfordancers #pilatesforkids #pilatesforswimmers #pilatesforeverybody #pilatesfitness #pilatesbody #pilatesreformer #pilatescadillac #neverstopexploring #trainingforsixty #bewhereyouare #hardworkpaysoffs
There are no words to adequately describe the feeling after a private session with @rael_isacowitz Euphoria is close! His words and touch stay with me forever. Practicing the @basipilates Legacy Program work with Rael himself is truly an honor! #pilates #basipilates #basisystems #basifamily #basifaculty #basistrong #basilegacyprogram #pilatesteacher #pilatesstudent #pilatesbody #pilatesfitness #pilatesforathletes #pilatesformen #pilatesforeverybody #pilatesfordancers #pilatesforkids #pilateslifestyle #pilatesreformer #pilatescadillac #pilateswundachair #intentionalmovement #armchair #strongwomen #practicepracticepractice #neverstopexploring #alwaysastudent #hardworkpaysoffs #nowisnow #bewhereyouare #trainingforsixty
It was pure joy to teach @basipilates modules 1,2,and 3 to this PHENOMENAL group! Being @bpa_newportbeach is always a dream come true for me. I am usually in the room as a student, so when I have the opportunity to put on my faculty hat, I have to pinch myself! I love my job!!! Thank you from my ❤️to each student and my extraordinary assistants @laurenmoves and @rabeloeliezer and my behind the scenes support @stellaaida0516 We ALL learned so much!

Another work in progress from yesterday’s practice! Jackknife with Tower from @basipilates Honors Course, the fourth step of the Legacy Program! To think that it all starts with a Pelvic Curl!!! 😊 I can hear @rael_isacowitz saying “keep the 90 degree angle at the hip joint! I’m trying Rael! Making progress and feeling good. #pilates #basilpilates #basisystems #basifamily #basifaculty #basistrong #practicepracticepractice #pilatesforathletes #pilatesformen #pilatesfordancers #pilatesforkids #pilatesforswimmers #pilatesforeverybody #pilatesforlife #pilatesteacher #pilatesstudent #pilatesreformer #pilatescadillac #strongwomen #neverstopexploring #alwaysastudent #itsnotaboutperfection #hardworkpaysoffs #nowisnow #honorthesource #trainingforsixty #bewhereyouare #onzie
Sunday is Funday! Practicing Up Stretch 2 Forearms w/Trapeze from @basipilates Honors Program, the fourth “step” in the Legacy Program. Last weekend going through this course for the second time, allowed me to dig even deeper into this endless expansive body of work! Thank you, @rael_isacowitz for sharing your life’s work with us! #honorthesource #pilates #basilpilates #rael_isacowitz #basisystems #basilegacyprogram #basifamily #basifaculty #basistrong #pilatesteacher #pilatesstudent #practicepracticepractice #pilatesforathletes #pilatesformen #pilatesforeverybody #pilatesfordancers #pilatesforkids #pilatesforswimmers #pilatesforlife #pilatesfitness #pilatesbody #pilatesreformer #pilatescadillac #itsnotaboutperfection #neverstopexploring #alwaysastudent #hardworkpaysoffs #onzie #trainingforsixty #sundayfunday
Doing what I thought I could not do and making progress! #eleanorroosevelt Body. Mind. Spirit.

Friday’s practice included my commitment to work on things that are out of my comfort zone! I filmed this for a friend to view and decided to post my reality! This was the second time practicing Teaser Rotation from @basipilates Mentor Program on the @basisystems Wunda Chair. #workinprogress #pilates #basilpilates #basisystems #rael_isacowitz #basifamily #basifaculty #basiaustralia #basilegacyprogram #basistrong #strongwomen #pilatesfitness #pilateslifestyle #pilatesteacher #pilatesstudent #neverstopexploring #practicepracticepractice #hardworkpaysoffs #itsnotaboutperfection #progressoverperfection #pilatesforathletes #pilatesformen #pilatesfordancers #pilatesforswimmers #pilatesforkids #pilatesforeverybody #onzie #nowisnow #bewhereyouare #dowhatyourhinkyoucannotdo
Work in progress!!! I encourage myself daily to leave my comfort zone, and this is just one example. I know that without challenge there can be no change and to know success we must struggle. I have zero gymnastics experience, no dance background, and work so hard on mobility in my tight hips, back and shoulders. This Cat Walkover Prep from @basipilates Mentor Program, part of the Legacy Program was out of reach for me for many reasons. I am determined and want to do it correctly for MY body. Yes, I am pressing into the cross bars with my feet. 😊My pelvis is almost where I need it to be! #pilates #basilpilates #rael_isacowitz #basisystems #basilegacy #basifamily #basifaculty #strongwomen #almost60 #basistrong #pilatesbody #pilatesfitness #pilatesforlife #pilatesteacher #pilatesstudent #practicepracticepractice #itsnotaboutperfection #intention #progressoverperfection #pilatesforathletes #pilatesformen #pilatesfordancers #pilatesforeverybody #pilatesforkids #neverstopexploring #alwaysastudent #hardworkpaysoffs #nowisnow #bewhereyouare #adidas
Roll Up into the weekend on @basisystems F2 Wunda Chair, taught in @basipilates Legacy Program. Adding the arm springs is so good for the posterior chain (back body), including those horizontal shoulder abductors!
