The R8-Pro Black is a new light commercial-grade Reformer, released in late 2023.
The R8 refers to Retro (8 wheels) as the Reformer is designed to replicate many of the features of Joseph Pilates' original "classic Reformer". This includes the distance between the carriage and the foot bar, the dimensions of the carriage, the spring positions, the height of the foot bar and the height of the Reformer. Although the R8-Pro uses height-adjustable rope racks and our silent ropes instead of leather straps, the design ensures that the roller position is as close to the classic machine as possible.
Despite these classic features, the R8-Pro is a modern Reformer with 4 foot bar heights, including a flat position, and many quick adjustment systems.
The R8-Pro has 4 springs, but has the unique ability (and space) to add a 5th spring if you wish. It also features patented Rapid Change spring bars with 3 spring bar positions for quick and seamless adjustments to the carriage positions. The R8-Pro's ropes can also be quickly adjusted using the Pro rope adjusters, conveniently located behind the shoulder rests.
The R8 is the first Reformer to fall into the "light commercial" category, meaning it is suitable for both home studios and commercial installations with light use. For a full list of differences, see our Reformer comparison tool on our website, but note that this Reformer cannot accommodate half a Cadillac Tower. The R8 Pro is warranted for home use and includes limited light commercial use - up to 20 hours per week. This Reformer also has a user weight limit of 120 kg. For more detailed warranty information, see the warranty.
This is an incredibly compact Reformer that doesn't compromise on quality or performance. You can position the R8 Pro freestanding with the optional Jump Board, and it's also portable thanks to its wheels, making it a great choice for a multi-purpose studio.
Overall, the R8-Pro is the best value light commercial grade Reformer on the market. Its homage to the classic Pilates Reformer geometry - combined with ease of use, longer travel and a wider range of adjustments to accommodate different body shapes and sizes - makes it an excellent all-round Reformer and a modern take on a classic theme.
