“If looking for a Professional Pilates Reformer model for studio use or private clients, consider the general size and specific needs of your clients (e.g. football, hockey or basketball players would require a longer Reformer with extra support), special populations, such as elderly clients in a rehab setting, may find it difficult to get down on to a lower Reformer. You should also consider the size of your studio space. Will the same space be used for Pilates mat or other fitness classes, meaning the Reformers would have to be moved and put away?”

“At the end of the day, the most important thing is to look for and invest in quality. A good quality Reformer can provide client sessions for well over 20 years!”
