“Tye4® embodies ‘tensegrity’—a balance between tension and compression, between push and pull.”
— Dr. Brent Andersen, Polestar Pilates
TYE4® & TYE4X™ Testimonials
With TYE4® you can work with your body anywhere. You WEAR the means to actively work with resistance in order to feel your whole body at once. It can also be useful as a rehabilitation tool, i.e. even for those who can’t walk providing an experience of engaging the whole body through resistance in bed or seating. TYE4® is a creative intuitive tool for accessing, using, and assisting anybody’s body.
— Mary Bowen, Pilates Elder / Jungian Psychoanalyst
TYE4®, like the traditional Pilates apparatus, can be both resistive and assistive.. What I love most is that it really helped my clients understand axial decompression and elongation. Clients can more effectively elongate their torsos, subsequently engaging their TVA's, with the resistance literally against their skin. As a teacher that works with a lot of compromised backs, this incredibly valuable!
— Kelly Kane, Kane School of Structural Integration
The TYE4x provides invaluable feedback through bungee cord resistance with comfortable and supportive harnesses. I have seen immediate results in improved alignment, core activation, proprioception, and range of motion. Additionally, the TYE4x turns up the heat in traditional Pilates mat work exercises, providing an excellent workout for anyone looking to cross-train at home or while traveling.

TYE4® gives cognitive feedback that will stimulate and connect new neuro-pathways in the brain. It is a perfect companion for rehabilitative work within the Pilates framework. This is much better than working with resistance bands. The feedback from clients and students has been incredible. Don't miss out on using these tools.
— Patti Eppolito Kreiner, Balanced Body® Master Pilates Instructor & Educator
Over the past several years, as my life moved on from that of a full-time dancer and Pilates instructor to a mother of two beautiful children, my appreciation for the TYE4® has only increased as I frequently use TYE4® to keep me in shape as a dancer and to get me back in shape after both of my pregnancies. I often struggled in teaching some of my clients basic Pilates movement due to their lack of flexibility, coordination and balance. With TYE4®, I’ve been able to properly train these individuals without the fear of injury.
— Yuu Fujita, Certified Pilates Instructor and Personal Trainer
Tye4 is one of my favorite training tools! It’s easy to pack when traveling so I can do a total body workout anywhere.
It’s a wearable Reformer! I personally use it, and have clients of all ages who regularly use TYE4® to train towards specific goals! It’s awesome!
— Emily Zachary-Smith, Tremaine Dancer, Choreographer, Educator, and Pilates Master Trainer
I personally use TYE4® and require that my clients and members use it because it guides the body for better movement, reducing stress on joints and creating more muscle burn. We get faster results and have less pain. It unlocks the body’s potential for mobility and strength.
— Ashley Benson, Professional Fitness Trainer & Coach
As a former dancer who has gotten out of shape, the TYE4X has given me the opportunity to do exactly the kind of workout I have been looking for as it allows me to incorporate choreography into a workout, while going at my own pace and comfort level.
The TYE4X fits comfortably and is conveniently adjustable to your size. It is a unique piece of equipment that I recommend to former/current dancers trying to get back or stay in shape, those who have sustained injuries, or even generally anyone looking to try something new.

— Sarah Webclef
I love the way Tye4 feels on my body. I use it regularly. I also love watching my clients connect to their bodies when they use Tye4. It changes their entire experience. It really helps them understand what they are supposed to feel and there they are supposed to feel it.
— Lina Carpenito, Pialtes Teacher
Tye4 is an awesome apparatus that can be added to every movement anywhere. It provides a fulltime proprioception stimulus around and across the body improving its alignment and stability. It promotes incredible effects on hypermobile patients increasing their movement control and sense of articular position. As Marika Molnar mentioned before I also want to thank Joan for having a permanent interest in keeping Tye4 functional, modern and elegant.
— Dr. Elaine de Markondes
This is the future of Pilates! First it is functional, assists and gives feedback to your body instantly. I love using it standing to work on balance with my clients. It assists people who can't do it and give resistance to others depending on the way the bungees are positioned. As a Pilates instructor for over 20 years it makes my classes more interesting too than ordinary Mat Pilates. My clients benefit from seeing an improvement on their posture from day 1. I am so excited for the new TYE4X, thank you Joan for making it even more practical. This is the class I like and need to see more! It was fun and real!

I didn’t know what to expect until I put it on. You can get whole-body resistance with this wearable. It’s almost as if you’re wearing weights and getting resistance with all the movements that I make. The best part is it’s not just for Pilates, you can do core strengthening with it on, yoga, barre, and there’s an app with training from several different teachers. The x-design gives me support and reminds me to stand tall for better posture. I like and recommend this Wearable, it’s durable, comfortable, the bungees are strong, and it’s lightweight and portable.
