Studio Design Ideas Pilates
Designing your Pilates studio goes beyond just adding reformers. The layout, look, and atmosphere shape the client experience and your business success.
Plan Your Layout
Think about space flow. Each reformer should have enough room for movement. Keep walkways clear. Allow for accessories like jump boards and boxes without crowding.
Choose Quality Equipment
Commercial reformers set the tone for professionalism. FitBoutique reformers such as the Studio Reformer or Onyx Reformer offer durability and a premium look.
Flooring and Surfaces
Soft, non-slip flooring supports safety. Light woods or neutral tones create a calm aesthetic. Avoid dark or heavy materials that make the space feel smaller.
Lighting Matters
Natural light works best. If that’s limited, use soft LEDs to mimic daylight. Warm, even lighting keeps the space inviting and energising.
Storage Solutions
Add sleek shelving or hidden storage for weights, mats, and accessories. Keeping equipment organised makes the studio feel professional.
Create a Welcoming Atmosphere
Neutral walls, calming colours, and minimal décor help clients focus. Consider mirrors to add light and space while supporting form correction.
Branding Touches
Add your studio’s identity through signage, colours, or subtle design features. Consistency builds trust and strengthens your brand.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much space do I need for a reformer bed?
Space Requirements for Your Reformer
A FitBoutique reformer requires approximately 245cm x 68cm (2.45m x 0.65m) of floor space. Here's what this means for your space planning:
For Home Users
Length: 245cm (8.04 feet)
Width: 68cm (2.13 feet)
Recommended clearance: Add at least 30cm on each side and end for comfortable access
Total recommended space: 305cm x 125cm (3.05m x 1.25m)
For the Onyx Fold model specifically:
Same footprint when in use (245cm x 65cm)
When folded: Takes up significantly less floor space in vertical storage
Ceiling height consideration: Ensure adequate height for vertical storage
What's the difference between commercial and home reformers?
While both offer similar exercise capabilities, commercial reformers typically feature heavier-duty construction, enhanced weight capacity, and more extensive warranty coverage. However, premium home models like the Onyx series bridge this gap with commercial-grade components.
How often should I maintain my reformer?
Regular maintenance includes weekly cleaning, monthly hardware checks, and quarterly deep cleaning of tracks and wheels. Premium reformers come with detailed maintenance guides to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
