Premium Fold Lite Pilates Reformer

Enjoy reformer Pilates at home without permanently giving up a room — Fold Lite combines studio-quality components with a lightweight 35kg frame that folds away in under a minute.

The Premium Fold Lite is designed for home users who want the feel and functionality of a quality Pilates reformer without the size, weight or cost of a permanent studio machine.

At just 35 kg, it is one of the lightest reformers in our range. When you've finished your workout, the reformer folds vertically to a footprint of approximately 56 × 70 cm, with six integrated wheels making it easy to move out of the way. There's no need to remove parts or dismantle the reformer before folding.

Despite its compact design, you don't have to settle for resistance cords or basic components. The Fold Lite uses five graded commercial-grade steel springs, durable braided ropes, double-loop straps and an adjustable padded footbar — giving you a more studio-like Pilates experience at home.

✔ Save valuable floor space — folds vertically in under a minute
✔ Save on studio memberships — build your own Pilates routine at home
✔ Easy to move — lightweight 35 kg aluminium frame with six integrated wheels
✔ Studio-quality resistance — five graded commercial-grade steel springs
✔ No complicated pack-away — folds without removing accessories or dismantling the machine
✔ Great-value entry into reformer Pilates — ideal for beginner to intermediate home users

Description

The Premium Fold Lite Pilates Reformer is a lightweight, foldable Pilates reformer created specifically for home use and smaller spaces.

If you've wanted a reformer at home but don't have a dedicated Pilates room, the Fold Lite solves one of the biggest problems with owning a full-size machine: where to put it when you're not using it.

Its aluminium frame folds vertically in less than a minute, reducing its floor footprint to approximately 56 cm wide × 70 cm deep. Six base wheels allow you to pivot and roll the folded reformer into position, making it particularly practical for spare bedrooms, multipurpose rooms and living areas.

And while the Fold Lite is designed to be affordable and space-efficient, its working components aren't typical entry-level home equipment. Five graded steel springs provide genuine spring resistance, while the padded adjustable footbar, braided ropes, double-loop straps and supportive carriage create a comfortable and versatile platform for home Pilates training.

For regular studio-goers, having a reformer at home can also make financial sense. Instead of relying exclusively on paid reformer classes, you can train whenever it suits you — with two months' access to Pilates Project OnDemand classes included to help you get started.

Key Benefits

Get your room back when your workout is over

A full-size reformer doesn't need to become a permanent piece of furniture. The Fold Lite folds vertically without removing its components, making it practical for homes without a dedicated gym.

A more affordable way to practise Pilates regularly

Having your own reformer allows you to supplement or reduce paid studio sessions and practise as often as you like without travelling to a class.

Studio-quality spring resistance at home

Five graded commercial-grade steel springs — two heavy, two medium and one light — provide adjustable resistance for a broad range of exercises.

Light enough to actually move

At approximately 35 kg with six base wheels, the Fold Lite is considerably easier to reposition than a heavy fixed studio reformer.

Set up, train and fold away

The vertical folding system takes less than a minute and doesn't require you to remove parts each time, reducing the friction of fitting a workout into a busy day.

Designed for comfortable home training

A five-position padded footbar, two-position padded headrest, removable shoulder rests and double-loop straps allow you to adjust the machine to suit different exercises and positions.
