Equipment Overview: The Anatomy of a Reformer Pilates Machine

The reformer machine is the cornerstone of Pilates training, providing resistance and support for exercises that enhance strength, flexibility, and body alignment. Whether you're new to Pilates or looking to deepen your practice, understanding the anatomy of a reformer can help you make the most of your workouts.

Key Parts of a Reformer Machine

Carriage

The carriage is the sliding platform you lie, sit, or kneel on during your workout. It moves along rails and is connected to the machine via springs, which provide resistance. FitBoutique reformers, like the Onyx Reformer and Ivory Fold Reformer, feature smooth gliding carriages for a seamless workout experience.

Springs

Springs are the heart of the reformer, offering adjustable resistance for exercises. They come in varying levels of tension, allowing you to customize your workout to match your strength and goals. The Onyx Fold Reformer is designed with durable, precision-engineered springs to support a wide range of exercises.

Footbar
The footbar serves as a stabilizing point during exercises. It’s adjustable and padded for comfort, accommodating various body types and positions. The upcoming Maple Crest Reformer will feature an ergonomic footbar design for enhanced comfort and flexibility.

Straps and Ropes
The straps, connected to the carriage via ropes, allow for arm and leg exercises that target specific muscle groups. They add an element of coordination and precision to your workout. The Sienna Reformer (coming soon) will offer customizable strap settings to ensure maximum versatility.

Shoulder Rests and Headrest
Shoulder rests provide stability during exercises, while the headrest ensures proper neck alignment. FitBoutique's reformers prioritize ergonomic design, with padded features for added comfort.

Frame and Foldability
The frame determines the overall durability and aesthetics of the reformer. Foldable models like the Ivory Fold Reformer and Onyx Fold Reformer are ideal for compact spaces, offering a blend of functionality and style.
