Why Choose the Compact Reformer

Pilates Reformers can enhance sessions and workouts, allowing practitioners to access a much wider range of motion and challenge their core strength. When your studio can invest in Reformers to offer specialized workouts and appeal to advanced Pilates students, you've crossed a key business hurdle. 

But before you place your order, it's important to think about the logistics of the equipment: which features are essential for your upcoming courses, how many Reformers you can easily fit in your studio, and how to maximize the ROI of every unit. At BASI Systems, we offer both Reformers and Compact Reformers to suit the needs of different studios. Explore how Compact Reformers, in particular, can serve small or high-volume studios while still allowing your class range and students' capabilities to expand.

Compact and Convenient Design

At first glance, Compact Reformers simply seem smaller. But the smaller footprint they offer is just one aspect of how they can give you more flexibility for your studio classes. BASI Compact Reformers are 81.5 x 23.6 x 12.8 inches along the frame, compared to 95.3 x 27.5 x 12.8 (with extension legs) inches for the standard premium units. These dimensions still facilitate a secure, comfortable workout, but they reduce the required size so you can fit approximately seven Compact Reformers where only six standard Reformers can fit. The new dimensions don't compromise the sturdiness, versatility, or quality experience.

BASI Compact Reformers are also built for compact storage so you can easily put them away for mat or no-equipment sessions.

High-Quality Construction

BASI Systems is committed to providing Pilates equipment with a high-quality design and construction, whether you select standard Pilates Reformers or Compact Reformers. Our Compact Reformers are built with:

• Heavy-duty airline-grade aluminum trapezes and beech wood frames that support moving weight 
• Premium non-slip upholstery for comfort and easy cleaning, as well as orthopedic padded cushions
• Smoothly gliding mechanisms so the wheels slide consistently and quietly
• Comfortable shoulder rests for a supported workout that help students safely complete motions

We invest in premium materials and durable construction practices for every unit so it can provide years of reliable support through workouts, classes, and one-on-one sessions.

Versatile and Customizable

When you choose BASI Compact Reformers, you get a smaller size with all of the core features you want available in your studio. Every unit includes five springs for maximum workout versatility, with three red, one yellow, and one blue. You can also reach a wide range of exercises with the pulleys, ropes, foot straps, double loops, and stoppers. 

With these features, you and your students can select exactly the right level of resistance for different exercises, goals, and core strength levels. All Pilates practitioners can use Compact Reformers, from beginners just starting to learn the motions and how to change the resistance levels to advanced practitioners looking to maximize their core strength and range of motion. The compact footprint simply allows you to do more with your space—with no compromises on options and no loss of confidence in the frame's structure.

You can also expand on your workouts with compatible accessories. Over time, add towers, jump boards, and additional hardware to your Reformers as your students progress.
