BASI Systems

BASI is a leading education academy that brings thirty years of Pilates teaching experience to the design of our equipment. We work with Pilates professionals all over the world who strive for strength, athleticism, rehabilitation and the joy of healthy movement. After years of research and development, we introduce BASI Systems equipment as a dynamic vehicle for the Pilates community. The equipment is designed by BASI founder, Rael Isacowitz, the internationally respected Pilates teacher, author, lecturer and creator of Pilates repertoire and apparatus. BASI Systems equipment incorporates scores of details Pilates professionals want, accessibility we need and innovations beyond what we could have imagined. BASI Systems uses the highest quality, environmentally friendly materials to build equipment with biomechanical and aesthetic integrity. Each piece is hand-crafted with care and state-of-the-art engineering methodologies. We use beech wood for sturdiness, aerospace-grade aluminum for durability and smooth transitions, antibacterial vinyl to resist wear-and-tear and orthopedic cushioning for extraordinary comfort. BASI Systems' equipment offers longevity with ergonomic functionality and an expandable design system that can seamlessly fit your needs. BASI Systems brings together decades of research on the art and science of human movement and state-of-the-art engineering. As a leading Pilates education academy, we have had the privilege to work with tens of thousands of Pilates professionals worldwide. In these interactions, we continually learn more about what the human body needs and is capable. We do this using world-class advances in technology while honoring the teachings of Joseph Pilates. We see BASI Systems equipment as an extension of ourselves - as movers and teachers – and our equipment is designed to inspire the discovery of one's true strength.
