As Pilates lovers we are so lucky to have so many wonderful options of Reformers to buy. But, that choice can be incredibly overwhelming. Instead of defaulting to the traditional "buy what your teacher uses" we want to empower you to make a more educated and nuanced decision about which Reformer works for you. Every human body and every studio has different requirements, and it can be hard to sort through the noise.

Our mission with this guide is to lay out basic, factual comparisons between different models of Reformers so you can easily make the decision that is best for YOU.

We hope you find it helpful.

Happy Reforming!
