Collection: Aluminum Elite Reformers

I bought the Fortus Pilates Maple Studio Reformer a few weeks ago and honestly I am beyond impressed. Having solely used the Balanced Body Studio Reformer in my Pilates classes, I can confidently say the Maple Studio Reformer offers a very similar experience but at a significantly more reasonable price. The build quality is excellent (and beautiful!), and the smoothness and stability during use are just as good as the more expensive models.

What really stood out to me has been the customer support from Fortus Pilates. They were incredibly responsive, answering all of my questions and providing helpful tips throughout the purchasing process. Additionally, the ease of assembly was a huge plus. It was straightforward and didn’t take long at all to set up (which I usually dread assembling things).

I’ve been using the machine multiple times per week and feel like it’s really helping me get the results I want to see from my practice since I can’t afford to take in person classes as often as I wanted to.

My only challenge with the reformer so far has been getting the hang of the different spring colors/tensions compared to other reformers, but I do love how much heavier you can make the Fortus if you want.

For anybody looking for a studio grade reformer that’s like half the price of other competitors, I highly recommend Fortus- they feel like one of the last non-scammy companies who really care about the quality of machine they’re putting out there.

The reformer works as well as the one I use at Club Pilates that is twice the price. Also the tower is well worth it!

I'm a new Pilates instructor but have practiced since the late 80s. While I have access to in-studio machines, I wanted a home reformer for personal use that was beautiful, functional, and most importantly space-conserving. After researching many options including used machines near me, Balanced Body, and Basi, I went with the Fortus Maple Elite. I couldn't be happier with this purchase. First of all, the customer service before, during, and after purchase is top notch. They are responsive and helpful at all times. Second, it is a beautiful machine. I love the look of the wood and the leather is very high quality. Assembly was a breeze with the help of the manual and the video - and while it might be best for two people to move it up 2 flights of stairs, my husband actually did it himself. Folding is simple and easy and it neatly stores in a closet or against a wall. Finally, the function is fantastic. The gliding is so smooth and quiet, and it comes with the jumpboard, foot strap, and box - which other companies wanted extra $ for. The carriage is quite comfortable and the footbar and headrest are easy to adjust. I love the spring arrangement with both yellow and blue springs on the outsides, so in side lying positions adjustments are quick and easy and don't interrupt the flow of your workout. It is an absolute steal for the price and I wouldn't hesitate to purchase again, am already thinking about starting my own studio and would purchase their studio-quality machines in a heartbeat.

Quality construction - easy to install. It would be useful to have a manual that provides detailed guidelines for positioning of springs and bars when using the tower.

Well my first machine arrived with about 4 holes in the crate and the legs sticking out and all scuffed up. I rejected the delivery and emailed customer service, they apologized and offered to order another reformer or refund my money. I ordered another one and the order was shipped in two days and i should receive it in about 8 days from order. I was extremely happy with how they handles the situation.

I’m a 68 year old guy. I work out 6 days a week
(stretching, weights, cardio). I also swim, kayak and paddle board.
Had my first ever Pilates session about 6 weeks ago. I was immediately hooked. I started my research right after my first session.
Went to Amazon. Saw several no name tables ranging in price from $1,000 to $3,000. Also looked at several brand names, including Balanced Body. I narrowed it down to the Balanced Body Rialto and a no name on Amazon. Strangely, Fortus just popped up on Facebook one day. Quality, pricing and what was included was extremely competitive. I e mailed Greg a bunch of stupid questions on a Sunday night. He immediately got back to me. This went on for several emails. He piqued my interest in the tower. I had no thought in purchasing that accessory at first.
Pricing: Fortus is hands down the best bang for your buck. So many attachments, (pricey “extras” with Balanced Body), are included with my Fortus aluminum table. I believe I saved $2,000 going with Fortus.
Delivery: I ordered on a Friday. Table arrived Wednesday. Table arrived in one massive crate. Well packed and protected. Follow the video instructions for opening the crate and assembly. No problems at all.
Quality: gotta say the table and attachments are rock solid. Tower is solid with lots of add ons.
Get the tower with your initial purchase. Pricing makes it a no brainer.
Padding, straps, ropes, springs all seem real good quality.
I used a Balanced Body table at the Pilates studio. Fortus is just as good and I believe more intuitive while using. Good quality at a great price. I’m happy with my choice.
So, don’t waste your time doing research. I did it for you.
It also comes with a 90 day free subscription to Pilates TV.
WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?

Canadian made!!! Works well. Hard to fold but the fact that it does fold to save space is wonderful !

This is a well-made very well designed folding reformer. Very little to assemble once uncrated. I thought the lower height might make some moves such as Eve’s lunge impossible but it works just fine. Highly recommend!!

I received my reformer only a couple of weeks ago and am very satisfied with its quality and how smooth it flows. The assembly was quick and the instructions were easy to follow. I have limited space so it is convenient that it folds up and tucks out of the way. I would highly recommend this reformer. Brenda L.

I love my folding reformer. The built is excellent. So easy to put together. Easy to slightly disassemble and fold when needed. It arrived within a few days. I use it every other day and it has been functioning very smoothly.

I was skeptical because of the affordable price, but when I received the reformer, I was completely satisfied. I wanted to ensure I purchased a reformer of similar quality to my pilates studio, and it has met all my expectations. You cannot find a better package for this price.

The quality of the reformer has exceeded my expectations. Despite being a home version, it feels just as stable and high-end as reformers I’ve used in studios. Also, the track is very smooth, despite the reformer having a folding feature. The Fortus team was also very helpful in answering my questions before purchasing the reformer, and the team was also very helpful in helping me arrange to pick it up at the warehouse. I looked at a few different reformers across several companies before purchasing from Fortus, and I’m very happy that I ultimately moved forward with purchasing the Fortus product.

I absolutely love my reformer. 🥰 I'm a small woman so I love the fact that it has lower spring tension so I can do ALL the exercises. 💪 Costumer service is great and Canadian made. I 💯 recommend.👌 👍

Just want to say Wow, the order arrived within 7days of placing the order. The Delivery service was outstanding. I had no issues in setting it up, great customer support!! I am so very happy with the quality of the reformer top notch, thank you for the awesome support. Wishing this Canadian Company much success!!!

Very happy Customers 🤗

Thank you Fortus for creating an affordable high quality reformer! I just received my Maple Elite Studio Reformer. It was shipped in a wooden crate and nicely wrapped and packed. I was a little nervous about putting it together, but setup was a breeze using the YouTube guide you provided. It did take two people to move the reformer into the the room I wanted it (not upset about that because it is made with solid wood). The wood is beautiful and the carriage is so smooth. I was able to start my reformer Pilates right away and I am looking forward to using my reformer everyday!
