Fitzroy Pilates manufacture a range of high quality, custom made Pilates equipment. Pilates reformers, back benders and trapeze tables are made to order in a selection of dimensions and wood types to suit your functional, aesthetic, and budgetary requirements. Our prices are highly competitive, and our experienced builders use only sustainable timber and ensure a beautifully finished product.
In purchasing your reformer, it is important to consider how it will be put to use. Many new manufacturers of Pilates Reformers have little actual Pilates experience, and as a consequence produce products that do not permit the full repertoire of Pilates exercises to be practiced. For example, shorter Reformers may suffice for beginner and clinical applications, but are unsuited to the type of advanced work illustrated on our Innovations page. It is always disappointing to be restricted by your equipment when aiming for your personal goals in strength, posture and flexibility. Our range of Reformers caters to all levels of proficiency and is designed for broad application.
A variety of plans for rental of Reformers are available to suit both the Professional Practitioner and Home Enthusiast. We also offer a comprehensive multimedia D.I.Y. Plan Package on CD for those that wish to construct their own Reformer. In addition, instructional DVDs from our "Innovations in Pilates" series can also be purchased to help you get the most from your reformer. Free trailer hire is available within the Melbourne metropolitan area to assist with drop-off and pick-up of rental equipment.
SALES
Lisa Heath (Darwin School of Ballet)
Our local ballet school in Darwin recently purchased a home reformer for our ballet students. We are pleased to announce that it is
fabulous and we are highly satisfied with the product and service we received from Fitzroy Pilates. We have a registered
Physiotherapist, Carolyn O’Mahoney, working with us and she has been very impressed with the quality and workmanship of the
reformer. She was pleasantly surprised at how easy it is to adjust, the smoothness of the rolling bed and the resistance of the
springs. Our students and parents are relishing the new experience and opportunity to use the machine (as there are very few
available in Darwin!) and am sure will be surprised with the benefits the reformer has to offer. The Darwin School of Ballet would
like to especially thank Anthony from Fitzroy Pilates for his help, as the road was a long one!
Lauren D'Arsie (physiotherapist and pilates instructor)
I am absolutely delighted with the terrific reformer from Fitzroy Pilates Studio. It has been a great asset to my practice.
Robert Elston (Monash University Sport)
[...] we have been using the Pilates reformers supplied by Fitzroy Pilates Studio and found them to be of great value to
our organisation. They look great, are well built, easy to maintain and long lasting and we could not be happier
with how they have performed in the 5 years we have had them.

Pre-loved Reformers
Adrian Barei (physiotherapist)
My physiotherapy practice purchased a second hand pilates reformer [...] which we are very happy with. The interstate transfer
went smoothly and the unit arrived in good condition. It has been a valuable asset to my clinic.
Occasionally, we have ex-rental or studio reformers available for sale. All items come with a six month warranty, and have been kept in excellent working order.Please enquire.

Do It Yourself (D.I.Y.) Pilates Reformers
David (from Melbourne)
It was straight forward - the plans were excellent [...] The photos were very helpful as well. [...] All up I think it cost about
$600-700.
David (from Bangkok)
I found the Pilates reformer plans from Fitzroy Pilates extremely detailed and easy to follow. Although I have no formal
woodwork training I had no problems building what is a very strong reformer with a smooth ride. I actually prefer it to the
commercial machines I have used at a number of Pilates studios.
Natassja (from California)
My FANTABULOUS disc arrived yesterday afternoon - exceptionally impressive and totally professional. My husband’s impressed with the detail of the plans so he’s
not too worried about his ability to [build] it. Thanks again for allowing this resource to be available!
Many Pilates enthusiasts find the cost of a professionally made reformer simply impossible to meet, and are unable to develop a truly effective home based programme. Believing strongly in the effectiveness of the Pilates Reformer for strength and flexibility training, we want these benefits to be accessible to everyone. Hence the DIY Pilates Reformer Plan Package.
For $99, you can purchase the full working drawings of the Pilates reformer. The architectural drawings contain everything you need, including stockists, for you to build your own reformer from scratch. In addition, the drawings supply you with details of how to convert your reformer into a mat/bench/massage table, or a fashionable day bed. Alternatively, take your plans to any builder and have them run one up for you. Its all here, and total material costs end up at around $800-$1000. Compared to an average $4000 for a well made timber reformer, we reckon its a pretty good idea!
The DIY Reformer Plan Package is our attempt to popularise the Pilates method, and to make it available for those in remote places, for those who like to work in the privacy of their home, and for those who may not be able to afford attendance at often costly Pilates studios. To date, our DIY Reformer CDROM has been sent to places as diverse as Poland, Hungary, France, Great Britain, Germany, Switzerland, Colombia, Mexico, Brazil, USA, Canada, Laos, Thailand, New Zealand, and Outback Australia. Joseph would be very pleased, we imagine. Please enjoy!
