Frequently Asked Questions About Pilates Reformers

What is a Pilates Reformer?

A Pilates Reformer is a form of exercise equipment, consisting of springs, pulleys, ropes, a bed like a frame, and a carriage which then slides along the frame. Using a Reformer Machine allows participants to isolate and tone muscle groups through a low impact workout. 

What is the Difference Between a Home Pilates Reformer or Commercial Pilates Reformer?

As a first step, we always direct customers to visit our Pilates Reformer Comparison Table available on our website. Apart from a few mechanical/functional differences, choosing between a home or commercial model reformer ultimately comes down to cost, space, and level of usage. 

If I Just Purchase the Reformer Now, Can I Buy the Optional Extras Later?

All optional extras can be added at any time. At Pilates Reformers Australia we always carry accessories suitable for all Align-Pilates Reformers (including older models) such as; Jump Boards, Sitting Boxes, Extension legs, Half or Full Traps, Platform extenders, Mattress Converters, etc.
