Kris Jenner is a momager on a mission. With her daughters Kourtney, Kim, Khloé, Kendall, Kylie and son Robert all pursuing their own multiple business ventures, the matriarch of the Kardashian empire has to ensure her daily routine runs like clockwork - which apparently includes having a Pilates studio built into her home.
Sharing photographs from inside her $20 million Hidden Hills mansion, Kris, 68, posed from a sleek, state-of-the-art Pilates studio equipped with two Reformer and Trapeze apparatus in her latest Instagram post. Kris cut a casual figure in grey activewear and chunky black trainers, holding onto the frame of the luxe Pilates machine.

While it comes as no surprise the Kardashians have private gyms built into their multi-million dollar mansions, installing a Pilates studio feels like next-level luxe.
Forma Pilates, a class in West Hollywood, was dubbed "Los Angeles and New York’s most exclusive exercise class" by Vogue, and is said to be a go-to workout class for supermodel Bella Hadid.

Kris' high-tech installation is actually nothing new. In 2016 - long before Pilates became mainstream - the health-conscious mom-of-six thanked Balanced Body for her new Reformer Trapeze Combination installation on her social media channels.
© Instagram"Thank you soooo much @balanced_body!! I'm obsessed with my new Reformer Trapeze Combination (RTC) from @balanced_body!!!" Kris wrote, sharing a photo alongside Kourtney's ex-partner Scott Disick trying out the apparatus.
Installing a Reformer machine at home can cost thousands of dollars, with Kris' exact apparatus setting the businesswoman back $8,300.
According to Balanced Body, the Pilates Reformer Trapeze Combination features a Studio Reformer and Trapeze Table - ideal for practising both styles of Pilates.

At one end of the bed are the foot bar and springs which can be tightened to increase the resistance of the exercise. At the opposite end are two ropes with handles attached to pulleys which can be used by either hands or feet.

"Pilates has benefits outside the world of exercise. "It can improve your sex life at any age through the pelvic floor, plus increased fitness and endurance!" adds Abbey.
