Product Information

Pilates machines are often used in physical therapy to alleviate pain, speed up recovery, and enhance athletic performance —but they're not just for sports medicine. A reformer is an excellent piece of workout equipment for all fitness levels and anyone looking to tone up or build strength. As you push out with your feet and pull with your arms, the tension on both ends requires you to engage muscles throughout your entire body to stay in control. In other words, a pilates reformer offers an all-in-one, full-body resistance workout. A Pilates reformer is a large piece of equipment that resembles a padded table with springs, a sliding carriage, ropes and pulleys. They can be made from different materials, including steel, aluminum and more. "The key behind the effectiveness of a reformer is resistance, with springs attached to a moving platform (a.k.a. carriage) on wheels,"Rothman emphasizes. "The springs allow for changes in resistance, and by pushing or pulling with arms or legs you can then initiate movement of the carriage along the frame to get a full-body strength-building workout." Additional components of the Pilates reformer include:

We researched dozens of Pilates reformers and evaluated them for material, comfortableness, adjustability, and price. Each of the Pilates reformers chosen in this article was determined to be the best of these factors. The manufacturer recommendation is to pour this liquid onto a clean cotton cloth and wipe surfaces thoroughly. While not the preferred method, the liquid can be applied using a spray bottle, however the liquid will become aerosolized. This is not dangerous, but may cause discomfort in sensitive individuals.Springs: Often color-coded to signify more or less tension, these are what allow for adjustable resistance on the machine to vary exercises. Sometimes a lighter spring may not mean “easier” as increased core stability will be required. There are a variety of Pilates reformers on the market because they’re so versatile, so you want to make sure you buy one that meets your fitness goals,” says Erika Driscoll, certified classical Pilates instructor through Power Pilates. Dimensions: Pay close attention to the height, length and width of the reformer, and ensure that you'll have additional room beyond this as you'll want to be able to walk around the machine and perform movements that require stretching out your arms or legs past the edges of the machine. You can also position the machine on a diagonal if you need to make additional space. Another thing to note is the height and weight limits of the machine to make sure you will feel comfortable and supported during the workout.

Choose a reformer that allows you to appropriately adjust the spring bar, footbar, and headrest at multiple levels because this will allow for a greater range of motion,” explains Driscoll. In addition to workout experience, an adjustable reformer is helpful if people of multiple sizes and weights will be working out on the same reformer.

When looking for a Pilates reformer, Trujillo recommends looking for high-quality craftsmanship, a comfortable carriage, and foot bar padding. A prospective buyer should look for a reformer that has features that enable them to do the moves they want to do. They should also think about the size of the machine. If space is limited, they might want to look into getting a smaller, portable one, while also making sure it has a sturdy frame, she says.Front platform: This is a stable area that usually houses springs to adjust tension. Some will also have an adjustable bar for more Pilates variations. The front platform can be used as a base for exercises.
