The Dolly Sisters, Rosie and Jenny, were Hungarian born identical twins who performed as dancers, singers and actresses in vaudeville and theatre during the 1910s and ‘20s. They also appeared in two silent films in 1915.

Rosie was born Rózsika Deutsch and Jennie was born Janka Deutsch on October 24, 1892 In Balassagyarmat, Hungary.

In 1945, 20th Century Fox released “The Dolly Sisters” a musical starring Betty Grable as Jenny, and June Haver as Rosie.

Control Front: Facing the back of the reformer (the risers), place your hands on the shoulder blocks and feet on the footbar, moving the carriage in and out with control.
Planks on a reformer are superior to mat planks because the moving carriage and adjustable spring resistance create a dynamic, full-body workout that challenges stability, activates deeper core muscles, and allows for both supportive and intense, high-intensity training. The unstable surface increases core, shoulder, and stabilizer muscle engagement.

Teaser prep on the long box, using the Pilates ball to engage our quads and core-one red and one blue spring

02/02/2026

Pikes on the Pilates chair (often called Pull-Ups or Wunda Chair Pikes) are advanced full-body exercises that demand significant core strength, shoulder stability, and control. Often used as preparation for handstands, this move requires you to lift your hips toward the ceiling while pressing a spring-loaded pedal.
Key Benefits
Deep Core Engagement: Targets the re**us abdominis and deep obliques to lift the body weight against spring resistance.
Shoulder Stability: Strengthens the arms, deltoids, and shoulder stabilizers (like the serratus anterior) as they support your upper body weight.
Functional Strength: Improves balance and coordination, making daily movements easier and enhancing overall athletic performance.
Flexibility: Requires and develops open hamstrings and spinal mobility.
