Choose from several footbar/springbar configurations

Revo Adjustment System
The revolutionary Revo Adjustment System gives you the greatest flexibility and enables you to create the ergonomically correct position for every user. The Revo combines 2 radically redesigned components: the locking Footbar and the 5-position Springbar. The system easily adapts your Reformer to better fit the needs of the user's size, range of movement, and ability.

Revo Footbar®

• Locking footbar with four positions, including down.
• Diameter (2-1/2") with padded non-slip cover.
• Uprights padded in Neoprene.®

Revo Springbar

• Carriage and Springbar are integrated - moving the Springbar moves the carriage and keeps the springs in neutral tension.
• Five carriage stop positions provide 12" of adjustability from carriage to footbar, creating the ergonomically correct position for every user. For short to average height clients, use positions #1or #2. For taller clients, or those with a limited range of motion, use positions #3 - #5.

Standard Footbar / No-Roll Springbar

Standard Footbar

• The 3-position, standard Pilates Reformer Footbar has 2 supports and adjusts to 3 heights (including down).
• 24" wide Footbar with comfortable padding and non-slip surface. Diameter: 2-1/2" , with padding (2" on request).

No-Roll Springbar

• The oval shape of the No-Roll Springbar makes it a safe choice; it won't roll downward and springs stay connected. Easy to use, the hooks remain upright.
• Standard Reformers have 2 Springbar positions (gears).
• Optional carriage extension and return stoppers.
• Older Balanced Body Reformers can be retrofitted with the No-Roll Springbar.

Infinity Footbar ®/Revo Springbar

The Infinity Footbar ® is the most adaptable footbar available today. The Footbar adjusts along the entire length of the frame to support a whole new realm of exercise possibilities, including upper body work. Five vertical positions and 32 horizontal positions give the Infinity Footbar 160 locking positions to safely accommodate people of all heights and levels of ability, including children.

Combine the Infinity Footbar with the easy-to-use Revo Springbar for the most precise system available, or choose the more traditional No-Roll Springbar.

• Footbar diameter: 2-1/4" , with padding. Width: 39-1/4".
• 5 vertical footbar positions (only 4 positions shown)
• 32 horizontal footbar positions

Studio Reformer Accessories

Tower Retrofit Kit
Transform your Studio Reformer* into the most versatile Pilates machine available! Our Tower Retrofit Kit creates a space-saving Pilates Reformer / Tower Combination that enables you to work in multiple planes of resistance on a moving platform.

Engineered and built for stability, our unique attachment system disperses the stress throughout the frame. We also offer the easiest conversion system: 2 mats fit over the carriage and on top of the frame, so there's no need to lift and turn over the carriage. Mats can also be used as floor mats. These mats won't slide – non-skid feet hold them firmly together in place on the floor.

Tower Retrofit Kit for Studio Reformer : $1695 : call to order »
Tower Retrofit Kit for Studio Reformer (mats not included) : $1395 : call to order »
*Fits Balanced Body Reformers only. Studio Reformers must have ropes, not leather straps.

Sitting Box:
Boxes are included with all wood Reformers and Combination machines, or can be purchased separately.

• Standard: 16"w x 29"l x 11.5"h (41cm x 74cm x 29cm)
• New York: 15"w x 27"l x 10"h (38cm x 69cm x 25cm)
• Large: 17.75"w x 34" l x 13"h (45cm x 86cm x 29cm)

Padded Foot Plate (Jumpboard):
For Studio and Clinical Reformers, the type of foot plate you need is determined by your Reformer's footbar. Choose the right foot plate below, by identifying your footbar type. 21" x 20.5" (53cm x 52cm)

Oversized Standing Platform:
Clear, non-slip finish on top. 20" x 11" (50cm x 28cm)

Jumpus Maximus: For Studio Reformers, the correct Jumpus Maximus you need is determined by your Reformer's footbar. Choose the right Jumpus Maximus below, by identifying your footbar type. 29" x 20.5" (74cm x 52cm)

Adjustable Pulley Risers:
Risers elevate the pulleys 2" to 13" (5cm to 33cm) above the frame, enabling you to change the angle of resistance. Risers also allow the ropes to pass above the shoulder pads, which prevents scuffing of the pads. This retrofit is for a machine with ropes.

Carriage Return Stoppers for Traditional Footbars
Finished Maple blocks fit over the stopper pegs to stop the carriage in two additional positions: 3" and 6" from the stopper pegs. Ideal for limiting knee flexion in very tall people (over 6'3") or those with knee injuries. Stoppers will pre-load the springs, so if you want to retain neutral tension, we recommend the use of spring extenders.

Carriage Extension Stoppers for all Wood Reformers
Placed in the tracks at the pulley end of the Reformer, these finished Maple blocks decrease carriage extension by 21", 15", 9" and 3". Only a single block is needed to safely limit carriage extension.

• Short Block decreases travel 3"
• Medium Block decreases travel 9"
• Long Block decreases travel 15"
• Extra Long Block decreases travel 21"

Sidewheel Conversion Kit (not shown):
An upgrade for older Studio Reformers that were ordered without sidewheels. Includes four sidewheels, mounting brackets and hardware.
