My thoughts about my first Reformer that I have waited over 15 years for ....
I am so Thankful I found Fortus Pilates. Who makes a Canadian (mostly) Product that we can afford in Canada when looking for a premium quality and studio type of reformer.
I have been doing Pilates for over 17 year. First it was mat Pilates than reformer classes always wishing for my own. I just never put myself first when I had small children thinking the cost was more than I wanted to pay.
I can say I am more in love with Pilates than the day I started. My Fortus Reformer making that happen.
I was very apprehensive that I would make the purchase and then receive the reformer and not be able to set it up, or it would squeak (god forbid) or not be a nice smooth glide.
Well I will tell you NONE of that happened. It is very smooth and set up was more than easy. My husband kept saying do you need help and than was surprised when in less than 30min I was on my reformer doing my first workout.
What is fantastic is the jump board and other platform boards that come with it as part of the package no 'additional' fees.
Fortus has been an amazing company to deal with as well. Delivery was smooth and on time.
I have used my reformer 4-5x a week since I purchased it Mid January. Like I said in love with my practice once again.
If you are at all hesitant don't be . If you are after a quality reformer equal to the company( initials BB which is what I would have used at our local studio) this is an equal comparison in my humble opinion.
I don't know how to talk to the person who is reading this saying will I use it will I like it . I was also that person. If you like/love pilates reformer work you will be happy. I am so thankful I took the step and purchased my own . I have used it more in my home than I would have by going to a studio to use a reformer. There are classes on Youtube you can do for free or pay for. Fortus gives you a free month as well to try classes they support. So there is nothing to be afraid of . If you love Pilates take a step in your health today you won't be disappointed.
I am Happy, Thrilled, Pleased, Satisfied, and more than Grateful to now have my own reformer.
Gotta go my reformer is calling me....
