The 11 Best Pilates Machines for Your At-Home Toning Needs

This lightweight machine folds and is equipped with wheels for easy storage and transport. It comes with five resistant cords of 11 lbs each, so you can personalize your workout to your needs.

THE REVIEW: "5 stars for the price," writes one tester. "For a reformer that is a fraction of the cost of most, this one does the trick. I'm really really happy with my purchase, and have already gotten a couple sweats out of it."

The Onyx Reformer is Bowman-Jackson's choice for a hybrid machine (more on what that means later), especially if you want a machine that you can wheel away behind a door when you have friends over for happy hour. More importantly, this one comes with all the base accessories and a year-long subscription to the ONYX OnDemand workout program.

With extended aluminum rails, a more padded platform, and footbars that are removable and adjustable, this machine will make your workout comfier than ever. And as a bonus, its oak wood accents make it look super chic. "I like AeroPilates Pro XP, as this is a good brand that came on the market for 'home' use during the pandemic," Koylass says.

Glowing Review: "Great price, great product, fast shipping. The whole experience was great. Got the machine home, put it together (which was also very easy) and the girlfriend was ecstatic," writes one reviewer. "She can't believe how well this model performs!"

If you're lookin' to take your Pilates skills up a notch, try this model, which can be used as both a Cadillac and a reformer. This exercise tower will give you a total body studio experience from the comfort of home, plus it's stackable, which makes it easier to store when it's not in use.

Glowing Review: "The Balanced Body Allegro Tower of Power has been a superior piece of exercise equipment,” one reviewer writes, adding that they use their Pilates reformer “daily.”

For a reformer that definitely won't piss off your neighbors, go for this sleek, super quiet, wood-framed machine, which doesn't just look good—it's also a great choice for taller folks, given its long carriage. Choose from nine different upholstery options for total customization.

THE REVIEW: "This is the best investment that I’ve made in a while! There is definitely sticker shock when you hit the purchase button," one tester writes. "But if you do the math, it makes sense! It is exactly the same reformer as at my local pilates studio, so it’s easy to move forward with my practice."

Not looking to spend a lot but still want a great machine? Then this bb is for you. It's light, compact, yet impressively sturdy, and it even comes with a stand and its own rebounder for low-impact cardio. What more could you want??

THE REVIEW: "I LOVE it! It's a great for me to start with instead of those for thousands of dollars," writes a reviewer. "It's compact & sleek enough for me to keep it on its stand in my living room. It wasn't too difficult to put it together with a You Tube video. It slides very smoothly...I'm very happy with this purchase."

Another more affordable reformer that'll still get ya lean and mean: this cute lil purple contraption. While spring-less, this simple machine still offers four-cord resistance with multiple intensities, as well as a rebounder for cardio, and when you're done with it, you can easily fold it up and tuck it away.

THE REVIEW: "I love this reformer,” writes a reviewer. “Assembled easily. Very sturdy. The videos are a great teaching tool… I can teach myself and take my time to learn how to breathe through exercises and perfect proper Pilates form.”

Merrithew is another trusted brand in reformers, and this machine comes with the works, including a reformer box, which is an essential accessory for anyone with tight hip flexors. It also features a metal roll-up pole, so the possibilities are pretty much endless with this bad boy.

THE REVIEW: "I work out on this reformer at the Pilates studio I go to. I wanted a reformer for my home and there was no doubt this was the one I wanted," one reviewer writes. "Please Note: The box this ships in is HUGE and it weighs A LOT. You cannot move this alone. You will need help! ... If you want a reformer—BUY THIS ONE!"

Branded as a “portable reformer,” this nifty kit from Corefirst has everything you need to take your reformer routine on the go. The system includes two Corefirst wraps, six resistance band sets (two light, two medium, and two heavy resistance), carabiners, a 2-in-one door and short anchor, a carry bag, two double-sided floor sliders, and access to the Corefirst Basic App, which has over a dozen 40-minute Pilates workouts. Just anchor the system, grab a yoga mat, and you’re good to go!

THE REVIEW: "This is the PERFECT way to start in Pilates,” writes one tester. “It’s small, easily stored, convenient, affordable, and there is great support with the website and app.”

Keep your equipment fresh with this organic yoga mat cleaner. It's safe to use on most pilates equipment and will add a calming scent to your workout. Just remember to read the directions, as this does contain essential oils.

THE REVIEW: "I've tried other mat cleaners and none of them have cleaned and freshened up my mat like this product," one tester writes. "Left my mat smelling like new!"
