Commercial grade studio beds

Our premium Canadian maple wood and leather upholstered beds are meant for the long-haul and designed for the sweatiest of workouts.

The important bits

  • Home machines work for solo workouts but a studio needs gear that is built to endure daily classes, varied clients and the sweatiest of workouts. A studio reformer Pilates machine stands up to back-to-back sessions without losing its smooth glide or stability.

  • Commercial machines are designed for frequent, heavy use but look for a frame with strong materials. Steel and wooden reformer Pilates machines are generally considered best because they resist warping and can handle years of heavy spring loads.

    • Steel frames offer rock-solid support  
    • Premium real maple wood adds a sense of serenity and luxury
    • Aircraft-grade aluminium models combine strength with lightness

  • You’ll want to choose high-density EVA foam and durable antimicrobial vinyl to withstand daily wear and tear – and to keep things hygienic. 

    To steer clear of disruption in class, look for a smooth, quiet-gliding carriage with quality bearings or nylon wheels on steel rails. You should also double check that all ropes, pulleys and straps are high quality too.

  • The best studio experience is always the one that offers options. Look for commercial reformer Pilates machines which support modifications, beginners, rehab clients, athletes and everyone in between.

    To do this, you’ll want:

    • Colour-coded springs with different tensions for progressive resistance
    • Adjustable parts, like a multi-position footbar, adjustable headrests and moveable shoulder pads

    Additional accessories that can be added to the machines like jump boards, vertical frames and boxes. Accessories can help you to attract new customers and offer existing clients a diverse range of classes

  • Studio atmosphere matters. High-end reformer machines use sealed bearings and precision spring housing to cut noise by over 40% compared to budget models. The result? A calm, focused environment, even in peak hours.

  • With the right equipment, almost any studio can be used for reformer Pilates. 

    • Measure your space and draw up a basic floor plan, leaving at least 3 feet of clearance around each machine
    • If you don’t have a lot of storage space, consider folding or portable commercial reformer Pilates machines. They save floor space when they’re not in use, without compromising studio quality. 

    Think about how often you need to move your beds. The Origianl FOLD Reformer Pilates Machine has wheels and an upgraded Easi-Fold™ design to roll and store your studio reformers without too much hassle.

    Maintenance and support for commercial reformer Pilates machines

    We'd always advise doing thorough research on a brands customer service and checking out trusted reviews from indepent review sites like TrustPilot. With FOLD you get:

    • Readily available spare parts, able to be sent out on 24-hour delivery.

    • A comprehensive commercial warranty with basic coverage of at least 3 years and a 5-year premium warranty available.

    • Our Pilates machines are made from easy-to-clean materials and that can also withstand daily cleaning

  • Budget and financing studio reformer Pilates machines 

    What makes a studio is great people, great classes and good quality equipment. If you have all of those things, running your business will feel as smooth as feet circles in straps. So, don’t let finance put you off. 

    • Look for finance options which allow you to scale up your business first and pay back the cost of your equipment later

    • Look out for seasonal bundles with free accessories 

  • Instructor training and certifications

    If Reformer Pilates is a new arm of your business, you’re probably on the hunt for some top spec training and best-in-class instructors. We'll you're in the right place, here at FOLD we're proud to announce the launch of the FOLD Academy in partnership with Create.
