Unless you’re seriously workout adverse, you’ll have noticed that reformer Pilates is everywhere right now. Loved by celebrities including Harry Styles, Jennifer Aniston, and The Biebers, the low-impact, strength-boosting exercise has officially gone mainstream, promising to improve core strength and balance, enhance flexibility and posture, and benefit the mind-body connection.
Performed on a moving carriage with a headrest and foot bar, and using weighted springs to add resistance and pulley straps to assist or challenge further, reformer Pilates promises a full-body workout that engages muscles often neglected by other forms of exercise. The result? Better strength, improved mobility and a leaner, more sculpted physique.
The only drawback – classes can be expensive, hard to book due to high demand and tricky to fit around busy schedules. Which is where at-home reformer machines come in. Bringing studio-quality workouts to your living room or home gym, they may be an investment, but they also allow you to introduce wellness effortlessly into your own space. These reformers combine elegant design with professional performance to provide the same results as your in-studio classes, while fitting seamlessly into busy lifestyles without jeopardising interior aesthetics.
Key considerations to take into account when choosing your reformer machine are the size, springs and adjustability. Reformers are typically fairly large, so ensure you have enough space to house yours and look for slimline silhouettes. There are also foldable and portable options available, ideal for space-saving. When it comes to resistance, this all lies in the springs on the reformer. Each machine will differ, offering varying numbers and weights to experiment with as your fitness progresses. Look for adjustable footbars, headrests and shoulder pads to ensure a comfortable workout, entirely tailored to you.
Here are some of the best reformer Pilates machines to add to your home workout setup now.

Designed to make your at-home workouts the highest quality, without ruining the aesthetic of your home with clunky, unattractive equipment, the contemporary machine in a warm maple finish looks just as good as it performs.
Featuring seven distinct resistance levels (10-45kg), an adjustable four-position footbar enables you to tailor each workout, while an integrated HD touchscreen connects to the iFit platform, giving access to expert-led classes, ranging from beginner to advanced.
