If you're new to Pilates and looking to purchase your first reformer, the process can be overwhelming. With so many options on the market, how do you choose the right one? Here’s your ultimate guide to making an informed decision.

1. Understand Your Space

Before choosing a reformer, assess your space. Do you have a large room, or are you working with limited space? This will determine whether you need a foldable or non-foldable machine. If space is a concern, the Onyx Fold Reformer is a great choice, offering a premium design with the flexibility of folding when not in use. For a non-folding option, consider the Onyx Reformer and Ivory Reformer, which provides reliable performance with ample size for home use.

2. Types of Reformers

There are several different types of reformers – full-length and compact or foldable models. Consider the features that are most important to you, such as adjustable resistance, comfort, and durability. FitBoutique’s Reformer Machines are designed with adjustable resistance settings and are ideal for different levels of practice.

3. Key Features to Look For

When selecting a reformer, look for key features such as a smooth glide, adjustable springs for varying resistance, and a comfortable padded surface. A sturdy frame and high-quality materials ensure that your reformer will last for years.

4. Budget Considerations

Price is a critical factor, but remember that a higher cost often means better durability and additional features. However, there are excellent budget-friendly reformers that still provide a great workout experience.
