You’ve been attending pilates reformer classes now for awhile and you’ve decided that you are a big fan of the reformer and all it can do for your pilates practice. You are ready to take it to the next level and want to start practicing in your own home. But which machine should you buy?
One of the most important things to consider when choosing a Pilates reformer is your price range. What type of reformer you can get will depend a lot on how much you have to spend. Reformers can be very pricey, especially studio quality machines, so having an deal of your budget ahead of time will be helpful. This guide will give you a range of options for different price points.
Another thing to consider is how much space you have to keep your reformer and whether you will need to store it in between uses. Some machines can easily (or relatively easily) folded and stored, while others are not necessarily moveable. Also, some machines are elevated while others are floor-based. Depending on your ceiling height, you may decide you need a machine on the floor.

This is the pilates reformer that I personally own! It is the least expensive of the bunch and it is also the most compact because it actually folds in half! This is the perfect reformer if you are just starting out and don’t want to invest a huge amount of money. It comes in at just under $500, making it an absolute bargain in the reformer world.

This home reformer makes it easier to get that studio workout at home. I’ve used this reformer during a private session while traveling. The springs are super challenging!

This is the precursor to my favorite Balanced Body reformer, the Allegro 2 (which you can get on the floor or elevated). The reason why I chose this reformer though is because you can actually retrofit this one to raise it off the ground for about $300. So this one gives you the best option for on the floor or elevated reformer. It is also one of the reformers I used in my reformer teacher training so I’m pretty familiar with it! It is professional quality in the comfort of your own home.
