Reformer Pilates for Post-Pregnancy Recovery
Post-pregnancy recovery can be challenging, but Pilates reformer exercises offer a gentle yet powerful way to restore strength and mobility.
Foldable reformers, like our Onyx Fold Reformer and Ivory Fold Reformer, are designed to deliver professional studio quality while saving space.
For those who want a permanent setup, the Onyx Reformer is crafted for unmatched stability and a seamless studio experience.
Whether you’re looking to strengthen your core, improve posture, or address pelvic floor concerns, reformer Pilates is the perfect workout for new mothers.
1. Restoring Core Strength: After pregnancy, your core may feel weakened. Exercises like Pelvic Curls on the Ivory Reformer gently activate the deep abdominal muscles, rebuilding strength over time.
2. Pelvic Floor Health: Pilates emphasizes the importance of pelvic floor exercises. The Onyx Fold Reformer offers adjustable resistance to perform movements that support pelvic floor recovery.
3. Improving Posture: After months of carrying a baby, posture can take a hit. Pilates helps improve posture with exercises that lengthen the spine and build strength.
4. Low-Impact, High-Effectiveness: Pilates is a low-impact exercise that helps new mothers regain their fitness without putting unnecessary strain on joints and muscles.
5. Mental Well-Being: Pilates isn’t just about the body—it’s also about the mind. Taking time for yourself to practice Pilates helps relieve stress, improve mood, and promote overall well-being.
Reformer Pilates offers an ideal path to regain strength and fitness after childbirth. FitBoutique’s Ivory and Onyx Reformers help new mothers achieve their fitness goals safely, ensuring both physical and emotional recovery.

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.
