STOTT PILATES® Pickleball Performance Training on V2 Max Plus™ Reformer

Elevate your game on the Pickleball court with racquet-specific STOTT PILATES programming, tailored for the V2 Max Plus Reformer. Designed by the Merrithew Programming Team, this workshop focuses on the agility, balance, and dynamic movement required to excel in Pickleball while minimizing the risk of injury.

Pickleball athletes require more than just aerobic fitness—they need full-body muscular strength, endurance, and control. The V2 Max Plus Reformer’s versatile pulley system enables targeted training with varied vectors to enhance dynamic stability, core strength, and peripheral muscle endurance. These qualities are critical for efficient shot production, delayed muscular fatigue, and optimal on-court performance.

This workshop also emphasizes fostering postural integrity, improving the transfer of ground reaction forces through the body, and building the physical responsiveness needed for success in this fast-paced sport.
