Pilates Reformers for Your Home Studio – Which One Is Right for You?

The Pilates Reformer is the centerpiece of your at-home Pilates routine.

The Allegro® 2 Reformer is particularly well-suited for Pilates beginners. Its compact design fits into any living space, while the five spring levels allow you to ease into your workout. Advanced practitioners often choose the Metro IQ® Reformer with its interchangeable wheel systems—allowing you to switch between Library Wheels for classic exercises and Wheelbarrow Wheels for functional training.

The new Allegro Nextgen Reformer™ brings Balanced Body’s latest technology right into your home: improved cable guidance, more precise spring suspension, and an even smoother carriage movement.
