Collection: Wood Pilates Reformers

Joseph Pilates, the inventor of Pilates, created the reformer. To this day it remains the most popular and sought out model of Pilates equipment on the market.

It consists of a flat platform, called the carriage on a bed-like frame that rolls forwards and backward on wheels. The carriage is attached via a series of springs, which provide resistance to your workout.

The reformer, when used regularly, can significantly strengthen areas of the body that undergo frequent strain- the back, thighs, glutes, and core. In addition to this, it can correct body alignment and increase your balance, coordination, and flexibility.

The Pilates reformer is a particularly appealing piece of equipment, as it’s easy to use, highly accessible, and immensely supportive of those suffering from debilitating physical injuries/ chronic pain who use Pilates to alleviate their symptoms.

As the more classic option, a wooden reformer poses less risk of injury and is less impacted by temperature than the aluminum reformer.

In a home environment, an aluminum Pilates reformer may appear too cold and mechanical, clashing with your warm and comforting environment. On an aesthetic level, a wooden machine is a softer, more traditional choice than the aluminum reformer.

To be clear, however, you can still exercise exactly as you would on an aluminum reformer on a wood Pilates reformer.

Cleaning your Pilates equipment is hugely important for the look of your studio, the feel of each exercise, and the safety of your clients. It’s best to clean down your Pilates wood reformer with a microfiber cloth, using these solutions in spray form.

Plain tap water is perfect for 90% of the cleaning you must do and works for both wood and aluminum. Wipe down the wooden reformer frames, roll-down bars, and push-through bars to ensure sweat and oil from your skin don’t build up.

For tough grime on wooden surfaces add regular dish soap (just one teaspoon) with your spray bottle of water and scrub.

Important to remember- you may read some info on cleaning your reformer that mentions using silicone spray. Under no circumstances use silicone spray on your reformer's rails and wheels, as it will cause issues with the functioning of the equipment.
