These reformers are usually easiest and most appropriate to use in a space that has been set aside for it alone. A Pilates reformer helps a user do hundreds of full-body exercises. This makes it an ideal piece of equipment for boutique studios or in-club Pilates studios.

• Rehab reformer – The rehab reformer is a Pilates reformer that is especially designed to help those who are trying to rehab from an injury. These reformers are situated higher off of the ground. This makes them easier to mount and dismount. Some reformers include retractable rope systems with recoil carriages. This helps to add a more thorough range of motion.
