Why a Home Pilates Reformer Is Worth the Investment
Pilates has evolved far beyond studio-only sessions. With the rise of home studios and hybrid training, investing in a home Pilates reformer is no longer a luxury—it’s a smart, long-term wellness decision.
Studio-Quality Workouts at Home
A premium reformer allows you to experience studio-level Pilates without leaving your house. Modern home reformers are designed with the same resistance systems, smooth carriage glide, and adjustability used in professional studios.
Long-Term Cost Savings
Studio classes add up quickly. When you invest in a reformer, you eliminate ongoing class fees and memberships, making it a cost-effective choice for regular Pilates practice.
Convenience That Builds Consistency
Having a reformer at home removes common barriers like scheduling conflicts and travel time, helping you stay consistent and achieve better results.
Ideal for Home Studios & Pilates Instructors
For Pilates instructors, a home reformer allows you to offer private sessions, small-group classes, and online coaching from a professional setup.
Designed to Fit Your Space & Style
Modern reformers are designed to be both functional and visually appealing, with foldable options that suit apartments, home gyms, and living spaces.
Built for Performance, Comfort & Safety
High-quality reformers provide smooth movement, adjustable resistance, and supportive padding—essential for proper alignment and long-term use.
Flexible Payment Options Make It Accessible
With free Australia-wide delivery and interest-free payment plans, investing in a premium reformer is more accessible than ever.
A Wellness Investment That Grows With You
A Pilates reformer supports beginners, advanced practitioners, and instructors alike, evolving with your fitness journey.

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.
