LOPE Tone Cream DISCONTINUED MODEL
Reformers Built for Movement That Means Business
Whether you’re opening a new studio, expanding your clinic’s offerings, or upgrading well-worn gear, choosing the right commercial reformer makes a real difference — for your clients, your instructors, and your business.
At LOPE, we’ve designed and refined our commercial reformer range to handle the demands of busy, professional environments. And because we know the decision-making process can come with a lot of questions, we’ve pulled together this FAQ section to help you feel confident and informed — before you commit.
Let’s get into it.
What features make a Pilates reformer commercial-grade?
A commercial-grade reformer is built to be used — all day, every day — without compromising on performance, safety, or comfort. It’s not just about a strong frame; it’s about the full user experience.
Think smooth, quiet carriage motion. Reliable spring tension that doesn’t fatigue. Supportive padding that holds its shape. And adjustability that allows you to cater to different body types and abilities with ease.
At LOPE, we’ve focused on these core elements because they’re what keep instructors efficient and clients coming back.
Are LOPE’s commercial reformers suitable for high-volume studio use?
Yes — this is exactly what they’re designed for.
Our reformers are used by studios, clinics, and gyms that operate back-to-back sessions. They’re engineered to take the wear of multiple users per day without showing it. The materials are durable. The movement is consistent. And the adjustability features (like headrest height, footbar angles, and rope length) are built for quick transitions between clients or class formats.
It’s equipment you can rely on — whether you’re running five sessions a day or fifty.
What’s the weight limit and durability rating of LOPE reformers?
Most LOPE commercial reformers comfortably support users up to 150–160 kg.
But what really matters is how they perform over time. We’ve designed our reformers to stay smooth, stable, and safe even after years of daily use — no squeaks, no slack, no uneven glide.
That comes down to quality components:
- Reinforced carriage tracks
- Studio-grade upholstery
- Precision-built spring systems
These aren’t machines you’ll need to replace in a year. They’re built for the long haul.
How do I choose the right reformer model for my fitness studio?
This will depend on your space, your teaching style, and who your clients are.
Some instructors want a minimal footprint for smaller group classes. Others prioritise high towers for rehab or advanced work. Some need something lightweight and movable. Others want the aesthetic of solid timber and a permanent setup.
The good news is — you don’t have to decide alone. Share your layout, goals, and client types with us, and we’ll help you narrow it down to the best-fit model for your setup.
Are LOPE reformers compatible with other Pilates accessories or towers?
Yes, they are.
Our reformers are built with flexibility in mind, which means they’re compatible with most industry-standard accessories — including towers, jump boards, boxes, and loops.
If you're switching from another brand or already have accessories you like using, just let us know. We’ll help confirm what’s compatible and what might need adjusting.
Do commercial reformers require professional assembly?
Not necessarily — but it depends on your confidence with tools.
Each machine comes with clear instructions, and many customers choose to assemble them in-house with a second set of hands. That said, if you’re installing multiple reformers or adding towers, it’s often faster and less stressful to bring in a professional.
We can recommend fitters in most metro areas, and we’re here to assist with troubleshooting if you decide to DIY.
Can LOPE assist with bulk orders for multi-location gyms?
Absolutely. We’ve worked with gym networks, wellness brands, and national clinic groups across Australia.
Here’s what we can help with:
- Coordinated delivery across multiple locations
- Consistent equipment packages for brand alignment
- Bulk pricing with flexible options
- Ongoing product support for future locations or upgrades
If you’re scaling, we’ll grow with you.
Are there bundle deals or wholesale pricing available for studios?
Yes — and we’ll tailor it to your space.
If you’re fitting out a new studio or expanding your current one, we can put together a bundle that includes:
- Reformers (timber or aluminium)
- Towers, jump boards, chairs, or wall units
- Essential accessories like boxes and straps
- Delivery coordination and optional support with studio layout
Let us know what you’re working with — budget, square meterage, timeline — and we’ll design something that ticks the right boxes.
What reformer designs and technologies are trending in 2025 among Australian studios?
Studios this year are leaning into two things: versatility and design.
People want reformers that work hard and look good — especially in boutique spaces and hybrid studios. The most requested features lately include:
- Sleek aluminium frames that are light, durable, and easy to clean
- Timber options that match wellness-focused aesthetics
- Modular towers and attachments that let instructors switch things up
- Whisper-quiet movement and softer edge finishes for comfort
- Compact designs that still allow full expression of movement
LOPE reformers are built with these needs in mind. Our machines are made to perform — and belong in the spaces people love showing up to.
How does LOPE compare to competitors like Align-Pilates and Merrithew for studio gear?
All three brands serve the professional market — but here’s where LOPE stands out.
We’re based in Australia, so support is fast, responsive, and local. You’re not dealing with offshore delays or generic responses. Our machines are built with Australian studios in mind — climate, shipping realities, customer needs — and that makes a real difference.
In terms of product feel, many instructors who’ve used other brands tell us LOPE reformers are:
- Smoother in motion
- Easier to adjust
- More refined in design
We’re not trying to out-market anyone. We just focus on quality and real relationships — and let our machines speak for themselves.
