Pilates reformer specs compared: 29 home models

By The Pilates Verdict Team · Specs checked October 7, 2026

Every home reformer spec we could find from 8 brands (AeroPilates, Align-Pilates, Balanced Body, Faittd, Flexia, Merrithew, Peak Pilates, VEVOR), side by side: how long and wide each machine is, what it weighs, the user weight limit, springs or cords, and how it stores. Filter and sort the table, and open "Sources and notes" under any model to see where each number comes from.

How we built this: We copied each figure from the manufacturer's own product page or manual (a retailer copy only where the brand's page was unavailable, flagged in the notes). We did not measure or test these machines. "Not published" means the source didn't list that figure, and converted units keep the original in the notes. Prices are shown as ranges; check the retailer for the current price. See our editorial policy.

    • Resistance: Reformer: 3 x 100%, 1 x 50%, 1 x 25%. The vertical frame adds 2 push-thru, 2 roll-down, 2 arm and 2 leg springs.
    • Height: 9.5 in (carriage height from floor (vertical frame is 68.5 in high)).

    • Included: vertical frame (Cadillac-style tower).
    • The page labels 164 lb as 'Reformer weight' and lists the vertical frame separately at 36 lb. The SPX Max alone is listed at 128 lb, and 128 + 36 = 164, so 164 lb may be the combined weight. The page doesn't say. The vertical frame is 28.3 in wide. Minimum ceiling is 77 in to install the vertical frame and 97.5 in for standing exercises. Made in Canada. Stock ST01076.

How to read these numbers

  • "Not published" means exactly that. The brand's own page didn't list the figure, so we left it blank rather than guess. User height limits are the most often missing.
  • Length is the footprint, not the space you need. Leave room around the machine to get on and off and to use the straps. Our guide to how much space a reformer needs covers clearances.
  • Heights aren't comparable across brands. Some brands publish frame height, others carriage height or overall height. The notes under each model say which.
  • Springs vs. cords: springs are the studio standard; cords are typical of budget AeroPilates models. Read springs vs. cords for the trade-offs.
  • Where sources disagree, we list both values in the notes instead of picking one.
