Reformer Pilates vs Gym Workouts in 2026

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.

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.

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.
