Compact Pilates reformer for home
Your body. Your shape.
Pilates at home.
A Pilates reformer you can afford and actually have room for. Set it up, train, pack it away.
Schematic drawing. Photos will follow once we receive and test the prototype.
Why SHAPE
Affordable
Buy once, train whenever you like. We will announce the price once production is agreed. Our goal: a reformer that costs about as much as two months of studio classes.
Compact
The frame clicks together from sections without tools. After training it comes apart and goes into its case: under the bed, in a wardrobe, on the balcony.
Easy to start
Video lessons via a QR code: assembly, your first workout and a one-week plan. Start on the day it arrives.
Set up in five minutes
No wrenches, no screwdrivers. One person can do it.
Unpack
The case holds three frame sections, the carriage, the foot bar, bands and straps.
Click
Line up the sections, match the pins and close the latches at each joint. Put the carriage on the rails.
Train
Clamp on the foot bar and the band bar, choose your resistance and start the first lesson.
Store
Take it apart in reverse and pack the case — it fits in a wardrobe or under the bed.
Five minutes is our target. We will time it on the prototype and show it on video.
How it works
Everything that moves runs on wheels. Everything that carries weight is aluminium. Everything you touch is soft.
- Railaluminium profile, three 70 cm sections
- Jointtwo pins and a latch: the carriage rolls over it without a bump
- Carriage60 × 45 cm cushion on eight wheels: four on top, four holding it from below and the side
- Foot barfor feet and hands, Ø38 aluminium tube, removable
- Bandsprovide the resistance, attach on both sides of the carriage
- Posts with pulleysfor the straps: arms and legs work against the bands
- Platformfor standing work: lunges, scooter
Drawn from our 3D model, height not to scale. The colours are options we are choosing together with future owners: the first batch will come in one colour.
Three times shorter when stored
Studio reformer length is typical, not a specific brand. Our 73 cm (case 59 × 73 × 52 cm) and about 13 kg come from the 3D model. Exact figures will follow after measuring the prototype.

Reformer training is low-impact, no jumping: core strength, posture, flexibility. Lessons are led by a certified instructor.
30 exercises on one machine
Lying, sitting, kneeling, standing and in plank. Legs, glutes, abs, back, arms — and the deep muscles that hold your posture.

Honestly: who it's for
Good fit
- You want to try a reformer, but the studio is expensive or far away.
- You go to a studio and want to train more often.
- You live in a flat with no room for a machine.
- You do mat Pilates and want the next step.
Not a fit
- You need a studio machine with springs. Ours is a light home reformer with bands.
- You need equipment for a studio or for training clients.
- Your height or weight is above the limits we will publish after testing.

FAQ
How much will it cost?
We will announce the price once we pick a factory and test the prototype. Waitlist subscribers hear it first and get the pre-order price.
Is it like a studio reformer?
No. A studio reformer is heavy and uses springs. SHAPE is a light home machine: bands provide the resistance. The core exercises are the same: legs, arms, core.
What height and weight does it fit?
We are designing for users up to at least 100 kg and 180 cm tall. Exact limits will be confirmed by testing and listed on the product page.
What if a band breaks?
Bands are a consumable. A spare set is in the box, and you will be able to buy more from us.
Can I train with back pain or during pregnancy?
We do not give medical advice. Please talk to your doctor before you start.
How is it better than cheap marketplace reformers?
We checked the assembly in 3D and calculated every joint for 100 kg with a safety factor of two. Wheels hold the carriage above and below the rail, so it does not wobble or lift. The sections join on pins, so the carriage rolls over the joints without a click.
Is it noisy?
Polyurethane wheels on bearings run quietly, like good roller skates. We will measure the noise on the prototype and show it on video.
Can instructors use it with clients?
SHAPE is a home machine. If you are an instructor and want to test the prototype, write to us: export@shopshape.ru.
When does it launch?
We are choosing a factory and waiting for samples. The date goes to the waitlist first.
