| Price | | If you're in the market for a Pilates reformer, it ultimately comes down to the dollar. After assessing space limitations, your style preference, and of course, who will be using it, you should be able to decide what you can afford, what you can afford to give up, and whether or not you just want the best your money can buy. |

| About You | | The overall design of each reformer is tailored to fit the needs of the intended user. Features like carriage height will vary depending on the experience level and use location. Whether or not the reformer has wheels is dependent upon the particular storage needs of the Pilates trainer. For example, if you are beginner to the Pilates discipline, then a basic, home-use reformer with a low carriage height and removable footbar will best suit you. However, athletes more accustomed to regimented Pilates routines will want a higher-end reformer with greater versatility and more feature options. No matter what your experience level or intended use location, we have the right reformer for you. Depending on who will be using the particular reformer you wish you purchase, we can help you find the perfect fit. |

Beginner Reformers — If you are new to Pilates, but know that you would like to get more serious about your routine at home, these are the reformers for you. Here, you will find high-value reformers with basic features. These tend to be less versatile than their higher-end counterparts, but are much easier to store in the home. Their smaller frames, removable parts, and portability wheels make them ideal for storage in a closet or under a bed. Perfect for first-time users, these reformers will save you both space and money.

| Where will It be used? | | The reformers we offer come in a variety of sizes and weights, depending on the materials used to construct the frame. Few of our reformers are stackable or folding, so be sure you know what kind of space is available for your new piece of equipment before determining which reformer is right for you. |

|
| Whats Your Style Preference? | | Your preferred style of Pilates equipment may be an important factor in deciding which reformer to buy. If you stay true to the original designs of Joseph Pilates, then a purely traditional reformer is what you want. However, because his original pieces were designed to accommodate the limited space of his New York studio, traditional pieces are smaller and less versatile than more modern pieces. Browse through the different style options we offer to help you decide upon that perfect Pilates reformer. |

Innovative Reformers — Reformers that fold, stack, or are constructed by light-weight aluminum make up what we consider innovative. If storage or portability is a major deciding factor, you'll likely find what you're looking for here. These reformers are highly versatile machines, and are incredibly unique with regard to their innovative construction and design %u2014 the number of different exercises they offer is truly impressive.

Modified Reformers — Modified reformers improve upon Joseph Pilates' original design. The reformers you'll find here are more versatile, and slightly bigger than the traditional or %u2018classic%u2019 style reformer. These will vary by overall size %u2014 particularly the height of the carriage. If you want a reformer that doesn't stray far from the traditional Pilates design, check out any of these high-quality modified versions of the original.

Purely Traditional Reformers — There is only one reformer that is true to Joseph Pilates' original design: Peak Pilates Classic Reformer. Originally designed to accommodate a small, New York City studio, a traditional-style reformer is smaller and slightly less versatile than others you'll find, but will save you space. If purely traditional Pilates equipment is important to you, be sure to peruse the other traditional pieces of equipment offered by Peak Pilates: the Traditional Cadillac and the Wunda Chair.

|
| Resistance Type | | Resistance on a reformer is affected by a number of factors. Given the sliding carriage and pulley system design of a Pilates reformer, resistance is greatly affected by the user's weight. Depending on the exercise you are performing at a given time, resistance can also be augmented by adjusting the resistance cords or springs beneath the carriage. Because any reformer can offer any number of resistance levels, we have defined resistance type here as either cords or springs, depending on what you find beneath the reformer's carriage. |
 |
Elastic Cords Reformers — Elastic cords are sometimes used in place of metal springs as the means of creating resistance beneath the reformer's carriage. These are more cost-effective than coiled springs, but will show wear after prolonged use. The carriage resistance of any of these reformers can be adjusted by simply removing or adding the number of cords in use.

 |
Power Cords Reformers — Reformers typically feature cords or springs with some tensile properties. However, the PFS Pilates Trainer utilizes power cords, which instead rely on gravity for resistance. Rather than vary the strength or number of cords, to adjust the resistance of the sliding carriage on this machine, simply change the carriage incline angle. If you want even more resistance, you can add weights to the optional weight bar.

Springs Reformers — Each of our high-end reformers uses metal springs %u2014 of varying strengths %u2014 as the means of generating resistance for the sliding carriage. Depending on the number of springs, and their levels of tensile strength, any of these reformers will offer innumerable resistance level options, allowing you to manually adjust the strength to your liking.
