The ‘wunda’ part of the wunda chair comes from the word ‘wonder’, and it can certainly do wonders for you. The Wunda Chair was originally designed by Joseph H. Pilates for his trainees, who wanted a home use apparatus.

- The Arm Chair or Baby Chair: It tilts forward and backward and has also springs on the back. The springs are up by the shoulders, without pedal. It uses the lightest springs of all of the apparatus. The Arm Chair is used by trainees with upper body issues.
