Pilates Reformer Delivery, Setup & Installation in Australia (2026)

When your Pilates reformer arrives, you want it set up and ready — not a flat-pack puzzle. The Core Collab ships reformers Australia-wide from our Gold Coast warehouse, and most machines need only minimal setup. This guide covers delivery times, what is included, how to set up your reformer, and how to plan delivery around a studio opening.

How long does reformer delivery take in Australia?

It depends on stock. In-stock reformers ship promptly from the Gold Coast. Custom studio orders — specific colours, larger quantities — are typically an 8-to-12-week build from our factory. Ask for a current ship date before you order so you can plan around it.

Is delivery and installation included?

We deliver Australia-wide. Home reformers arrive ready to use with only light setup. For studio orders, ask our team about delivery and installation so your machines arrive floor-ready. Confirm delivery details for your postcode before you order — remote and regional addresses can affect timing.

How do you set up a Pilates reformer?

Setup is simpler than most buyers expect. Foldable reformers, like our Eco, unfold and are ready in minutes. Standard reformers need only their feet or accessories fitted. Your machine ships with its setup guide, and our team is available if you have a question during assembly.

• Unbox on a clear, flat floor with space to move around the machine.
• Unfold or attach the feet as shown in your setup guide.
• Check the springs are seated and the carriage glides smoothly.
• Fit the footbar and straps to your preferred positions.

Getting started — app access and your first workout

Your welcome email includes your setup steps and app access details, so you can start guided workouts on day one. If your welcome email has not arrived after delivery, contact us and we will resend it with your installation and app details.

What to check when your reformer arrives

• Frame and upholstery are free of transit marks.
• All springs are present and seated correctly.
• The carriage rolls quietly and smoothly on its ABEC-7 bearings.
• Footbar, straps, and accessories are all included.

Every Core Collab reformer is covered by a 10-year warranty, so if anything is not right on arrival, we sort it.

Planning delivery for a studio opening

Do not lock a class timetable or take founding-member payments until your reformers have a confirmed ship date. Custom studio orders take 8 to 12 weeks, so order early and build that lead time into your opening. See our guide to opening a profitable Pilates studio for the full fit-out plan.

The bottom line

In-stock reformers ship quickly and set up in minutes; custom and studio orders take about 8 to 12 weeks. Confirm your ship date and delivery details before ordering, and plan any studio opening around that window. Browse our Pilates reformers or contact our team to confirm delivery to your address.
