Chaise Maple Elite

Great Product, Good quality and nice customer service.

This folding reformer surpassed my expectations! The quality is very impressive and it’s so quiet…more so than what I’ve used in studios. I was not so sure about buying a product online without trying it but I love it! The great customer service is also worth noting.

I researched 8 different Pilates Reformer machines before choosing the Fortus Aluminum Elite Studio Reformer with Tower. It is a commercial quality machine (per my 30 year veteran Pilates instructor) and a great value. It is smooth, well built and SUCH a pleasure to use. Fortus provides easy to use videos and color manual for setup. It is beautifully crated for delivery and Fortus customer service is always in touch if you need anything. Un-crating took 45 minutes and setup took 30 minutes. I couldn't be happier. Thank you Fortus!

Awesome foldable aluminum reformer, we absolutely love it.
Fantastic Canadian company to deal with from my first inquiry to delivery, set up and beyond! Highly recommended

I’m so glad I finally ordered the Fortus Pilates Reformer. I shopped around ALLOT! I kept coming back to your website because the reviews were so positive. Now I’m able to do my Pilates workout whenever I want and I’m very satisfied with the quality of this machine. A++++

I have been able to do more Pilates now that I have my own reformer! I purchased the foldable reformer to fit my apartment. I needed help getting it out of the crate when it arrived but I was able to put it together myself. I can fold it up and flatten it out on my own (it is a little heavy but I can manage). You need to take three parts off when you fold up, it’s easy and takes 3 mins. When you pull it back out you put the 3 parts in again. It glides smoothly and the leather quality seems nice. I’d highly recommend!

I couldn’t be happier with my FORTUS Reform Pilates machine! The build quality is outstanding—solid, smooth, and clearly designed for long-term use. Every part feels premium, from the carriage to the springs, and it performs just as well as the machines I’ve used in professional studios.

Very easy instructions with a video if you need to put together your reformer.

What really stood out to me, though, was the customer service. From the moment I placed my order, the team was responsive, friendly, and helpful.

If you're looking for a high-quality Pilates reformer for home or studio use, I highly recommend this one. Worth every penny for both the product and the peace of mind!

I am a yoga teacher and have been weight training for many years but swapped out the gym for yoga for many years. I did some wall and mat Pilates and did online circuit training with HIIT workouts using free weights.

As I’m moving into perimenopause I started noticing that mat work has been less kind to my shoulders and wrists. I’ve also noticed over the last five years that brisk walking and less intense movement is what my body needed but it wasn’t providing ME the same satisfaction overall.

I knew enough about Pilates and the benefits that I made the decision that I would like to add a reformer to my equipment in my home studio so I signed up for a class nearby and I LOVED it! What I didn’t love was what regular classes was going to cost me, not to mention gas and time to travel up and down the mountain to get there and try to make it work within my workday schedule.

I started looking for used reformer online and doing research into different brands. I came upon Fortus and was beyond THRILLED they were a Canadian company and even more the price was a major factor. I started to question why I would buy a used model not knowing for certain it was in good condition with no warranty, when I could buy one new and have all the benefits and peace of mind that would afford me. I reached out to Fortus and immediately came face to face with incredible customer service from my very first interaction, which continued all along with the many inquiries I had, including a special video Greg made for me to answer some questions related to the difference between the aluminum model vs the maple. Once I completed my research I had no doubts that I was making the right decision with Fortus.

There are options to “try before you buy” if you live in an area with a studio that uses the Fortus equipment, but the closest one to me was almost 4 hrs away and they were more than happy to answer some questions for me when I contacted them.

Shipping was going to be a bigger cost as it was coming from Ontario to British Columbia but I had braced myself for that. The company that delivered my reformer and tower was very professional and it was transported in incredibly secure packing that there was minimal chance of any kind of damage. They have VERY clear instructions with videos that explain in great detail the shipping and delivery process, how to unpack your equipment in pieces and bring into your space, assembly of your equipment in every minute detail and set up was very easy.

I decided to buy the tower as I knew I’d eventually want one and I’m that it would only enhance the workouts I could get with the reformer and then I’d only pay for shipping once. I made the right decision.

As I am new to actually using a reformer and have never even tried a tower setup before buying, I had a lot of questions about little things you wouldn’t normally consider. Those details were not really provided in any of the instructions, but MOST people who purchase reformers have been using them and have these things already figured out lol. But Greg was very patient with me and provided me some resources online to help guide me.

I LOOK FORWARD to using my reformer every day when I get home from work. I have 90 days access to an online group from Fortus. I haven’t even started it yet because I’ve found some great people online.

Every model of reformer is going to have some subtle differences related to use, spring colours and set up but the mechanics are generally the same. All the videos I’ve watched on you tube are great about providing modifications and taking into account “depending on the reformer model you are using …”

If you’re EVER on the fence on whether or not to purchase a piece of Pilates equipment from this company, trust me when I say, you will NOT be disappointed! The price is NOT a reflection on quality. It is a reflection of FAIRNESS and VALUE! And the customer service you will receive alone, you cannot attach a value to that, it’s priceless ❤️

I will be able to use this beautiful equipment well into all my ages, for any injuries that should ever arise for recovery … this is the best gift I have ever given myself!!!

Prior to finding Fortus, my wife and I were resigned to not purchasing a reformer for home due to the expense of a quality unit. We are nothing short of thrilled with the craftmanship and quality of our folding reformer. We use it every other day and have both been very pleased with the smooth movements. On top of that, the free three months of Natural PilatesTV has been great! I can't stress enough how impressive the build quality and materials are. Don't hesitate if you are looking to have a high quality reformer.

I just bought the reformer and love it ! It was easy to assemble and is quality built.

Absolutely loving our reformer. The padding is so much better than other brands in my opinion. Also prettier! Not sure why this brand hasn't gotten more well known since the quality is fantastic. Don't drop 5 thousand on another reformer brand when these are just as good for half the price. I've told all of my pilates friends about this brand!

I was looking for studio quality with smooth glide for in home. I wanted wood, nothing cheap feeling - and this reformer exceeds expectation. Unboxing and set up were also easy, which is why I say it exceeds expectations because reviews made me think it may be difficult. Took about 3 weeks to be delivered. No issues whatsoever with my purchase, set up and use so far! Thank you!

Love the new reformers and excited to get our people on them as soon as possible. Great quality and craftsmanship

I was hesitant to make such a big purchase without being able to give it a test drive but I have no regrets! I decided to go with the aluminum reformer as I use a Meritthew SPX at my studio and after using the Fortus reformer I think that it feels more solid than the Merrithew one! The carriage glide is smooth and quiet and it came with accessories such as the jumpboard and box so you can get started right away. I like having 6 springs so you can set the exact resistance you want and the springs have stronger resistance than what I am used to, which I prefer.

Setting up the reformer was very easy and the customer service when ordering it was also great. I'm really happy with my purchase.

The instructions made it very easy to set up our reformer, as opposed to another one we'd gotten from China where we had to just figure it out. Quality is excellent and it arrived about a week after we bought it! Definitely will be a return customer.
