Pilates Princess Starter Pack: 8 Accessories To Take Your Home Workout Seriously

The foundation of any mat Pilates practice starts here. This premium mat offers the perfect balance of cushioned support and sleek, grippy texture. Slightly thicker than your standard yoga mat, it protects joints while giving you the stability to hold planks, pulses, and roll-ups with ease. Bonus: the minimal design makes it a chic staple you won’t mind leaving rolled out on your living room floor.

Small but mighty, the Pilates ball is the accessory every instructor swears by. Perfect for adding instability to core work or toning inner thighs, it instantly intensifies simple moves. Slip it between your knees during bridges or under your sacrum during ab series and you’ll feel the difference in seconds. It’s also great for spine support, letting you perform moves in a way that’s comfortable for your back while allowing you to work deeper into the exercise.

When it comes to sculpting, resistance bands are non-negotiable. This set is versatile enough for glute bridges, side steps, or even upper-body work, making them a great investment for your at-home kit. We prefer the fabric bands over plastic alternatives because they won’t roll or snap, will stay put and offer just the right amount of resistance to fire up every muscle group.

Sometimes called the “magic circle”, the Pilates ring has been a studio classic for decades, and for good reason. By adding gentle yet constant resistance, it targets hard-to-reach muscles in the arms, chest, and thighs. Sleek, lightweight, and endlessly versatile, it’s the one prop that transforms a simple mat session into a full-body burn.

A minimalist essential for high-return workouts, these core sliders are great for low-impact but still intense workouts. Featuring a double-sided design, they glide seamlessly across both carpeted and hard surfaces, making them perfect for living rooms, studios, or hotels, no extra gear required.

Whether you’re at home, travelling or at your local studio, you’ll almost always need a decent pair of grip socks for a great Pilates session. These crew socks feature PVC soles to keep you grounded through every roll-up, plank, and plié. Not only are they cute, but they’re made with breathable, lightweight cotton to keep you comfortable (well, almost) through your workout.

Light hand weights are the unsung heroes of Pilates. Don’t be fooled, even if the weight isn’t immediately heavy, when you get the right pair, they’ll add a subtle intensity without compromising form and give you a truly good burn. Perfect for sculpting long, lean arms or spicing up standing flows, these weights elevate your workout without overwhelming it.

Able to be worn around your ankles or wrists, these weighted bands will make any session burn just that much more. At 0.45 kg each, they add the perfect amount of resistance to intensify sculpting without compromising form. Designed with durable fabric straps and a minimalist finish, they’re as chic as they are functional, ideal for core work, arm toning, or glute activation.
