1. Choosing the Right Space

The first step in designing your home Pilates area is selecting a suitable location. Ideally, your space should:

Be spacious enough to accommodate your reformer with room to move around safely.
Have good natural light for a motivating and uplifting environment.
Be quiet and private, minimizing distractions for a focused workout.
Offer stable flooring, such as hardwood or a Pilates mat, to prevent sliding.

2. Selecting Your Reformer

Onyx Reformer & Onyx Fold Reformer – sleek design, commercial-grade stability, perfect for home or studio use.

When choosing a reformer, consider your space, budget, and workout goals. For smaller rooms, foldable models maximize flexibility, while full-size commercial-grade options provide maximum stability and performance.

Regularly inspect your reformer for wear or tension adjustments, ensuring every workout is safe and smooth.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the Maple frame and Aluminium frame reformers?

The main difference is the frame material and feel.

Our Maple Crest feature a full maple timber frame, are slightly more compact, and come with 5 springs. They have a warmer aesthetic and suit home environments beautifully.

Our Aluminium models have a heavier duty commercial feel and come with 6 springs. They are slightly more robust in appearance and commonly chosen for studio style setups.

Performance wise, both deliver the same workout experience. It simply comes down to your preferred look and feel.

What’s the difference between the Ivory, White Edition the Onyx Fold Reformer?

All three models share the same core specifications, performance, and commercial grade build. They all feature an aluminium frame, 6 springs, and the same carriage system.

The difference comes down to the finish and design.

The Onyx Fold is fully black for a sleek, modern look.
The Ivory features maple detailing through the centre for a softer contrast.
The White Edition has a white frame with a clean, light aesthetic.

Performance, strength, and functionality are the same across all three. It simply comes down to which colourway best suits your space.

Is the Ivory Reformer enough for beginners?

Absolutely! The Ivory Reformer is an excellent choice for beginners and home use. It offers great performance and quality, making it perfect for those new to reformer Pilates.

If I order today, can I choose or change my delivery date?

Yes, we can absolutely work with your preferred delivery date. Once your order is ready to ship, we’ll coordinate with our shipping partners to align the delivery as closely as possible to the date you’ve requested.

Please note:

Deliveries are ultimately carried out by third-party couriers, so exact dates can’t always be guaranteed.
What we can do is dispatch your order on a specific day to get it to you as close as possible to your preferred timeframe.
If you have a special date in mind (such as moving into a new space or setting up a studio), let us know in advance and we’ll do our best to match it.
For larger studio orders, we can also hold until you’re ready for delivery.

This way, you can plan with confidence knowing your reformer will arrive when it suits you best.

How do I know when my reformer will be delivered?

Once your reformer is dispatched, you will receive a tracking number. Allied Express will contact you directly to arrange delivery, so you’ll know when to expect your reformer.

Are both the Ivory Fold Reformer and the Onyx Fold Reformer easy to fold and move?
