Aluminum Elite Studio Reformer

I am thoroughly impressed by the high quality of the reformer and the top notch customer that I received from Fortus!

I am a Pilates instructor, teaching for over 10 years on many different reformers - the Fortus aluminum reformer is as solid as Balanced Body and Peak Pilates reformers at a much more affordable price point. I love the quiet carriage glide, the padding of the carriage, the width and versatility of the footbar, the width of the rails, attachment of straps - everything is really well made. Fortus customer service is superb. I highly recommend this reformer and company.

Solid investment & great customer service

This reformer is well-made and super comfortable. It’s great value for the price, especially since it includes items that can cost extra with other reformers such as box and jumpboard. After speaking with Kelly at Neu Pilates and Greg from Fortus, and reading multiple reviews, I felt confident in choosing the aluminum reformer. I’ve only practiced on the Bravo Balanced Body reformer and can compare to that. It has 6 springs (instead of 5 on the Bravo), plus two levels where you can hook the springs for even more refined resistance. It also came with two sets of straps to choose from, and the other set I’ll keep as backup. The carriage glides super smoothly, and the covering feels soft and plush while being just the right firmness. The fortus box seems a little lower and bed a little shorter than the Bravo, but both my boyfriend (who is 5’11”) and I (5’ 1”) can each lie comfortably. If I want to do long box swan I’ll just remove the shoulder pads so the length of the box remains fully on the bed and won’t tip as I dip my upper body into the well. This is super easy, and all reformers as I understand have their unique details to learn and navigate. The setup video is also totally accurate and it took just 10 minutes to get it all setup easily. Very happy with my purchase and love practicing on my new reformer!
