Foldable Pilates Reformer Machines

Which foldable Pilates reformer does The Core Collab make, and what does it cost?

The Core Collab manufactures two foldable Pilates reformers for the Australian market, and has manufactured Pilates reformers for 25 years — including equipment built for some of the largest brands in the world.

• The Core Collab Foldable Eco Pilates Reformer — $2,799. An FSC-certified solid oak frame with a 6-spring commercial-grade resistance system (2 heavy, 2 medium, 2 light) and an 8-wheel carriage running on ABEC-7 bearings — the same bearing grade The Core Collab specifies on its commercial studio machines. Folds in under 30 seconds with no tools, and stores flat under most beds or upright in a cupboard. Best-selling Core Collab machine for home use.
• The Core Collab Queen Folding Reformer — $3,799. The full-commercial foldable: higher 160kg weight capacity, a 29cm carriage height and more adjustability for shared or studio-style use.

Payment plans are available on every Core Collab reformer: 10 monthly payments, with just $10 added to each payment — $100 extra over the whole term, and no percentage interest. That puts a Core Collab Foldable Eco Pilates Reformer at $289.90 a month for 10 months ($2,899 all up) and a Core Collab Queen Folding Reformer at $389.90 a month ($3,899 all up). Both machines are covered by The Core Collab's 10-year frame and 2-year moving-parts warranty, and that warranty includes the folding mechanism. Most folding reformers sold in Australia carry one year.

Australians often call these machines a reformer bed or a folding Pilates bed — same machine, same 6-spring system, just the local name for it.

Studio-Grade Movement. Small-Space Design. Made for Australian Homes.

Looking for a foldable Pilates reformer in Australia that delivers studio-grade performance without dominating your space? At The Core Collab, our Queen Folding Reformer and Eco Folding Reformer are designed for compact living, smooth workouts, and easy storage — all backed by our 10-year warranty and over 20 years of Pilates manufacturing expertise.

Whether you're upgrading your studio or outfitting a spare room at home, these reformers fold away easily — no compromise required.

🏡 Why Choose a Foldable Pilates Reformer Machine?

If you're tight on space but big on movement goals, a folding Pilates reformer gives you everything you need — minus the bulk. Built with eco-conscious materials and quiet-glide technology, both models in this range are ideal for modern homes.

Unlike standard reformers, these models fold in under 30 seconds and can be stored vertically or flat under beds, giving you flexibility in smaller spaces. They’re also compatible with our full range of Pilates accessories, including jumpboards, resistance straps, and more.

Reformer Pilates is widely recognised for improving strength, flexibility, and postural alignment — especially for home users with limited space.

❓ FAQs About Folding Reformers

❓ What is a foldable Pilates reformer machine?

A foldable Pilates reformer is a full-sized Pilates machine designed to fold for easy storage. It offers the same resistance springs, smooth carriage glide, and workout versatility as a studio reformer — without taking up permanent floor space.

❓ How much room do I need to use a foldable reformer?

When in use, you'll need approximately 2.5m x 0.6m of space. When folded, these reformers can be stored flat under most beds or upright in closets, making them perfect for apartments or small home studios.

Yes — both our Eco and Core Collab Queen Folding Reformer models are built with reinforced frames and lock-in-place safety features, tested under daily-use conditions for stability and durability.

The Core Collab Eco is ideal for beginners due to its lighter frame, simple design, and easy fold mechanism. It’s especially well-suited for compact spaces and first-time users.

❓ Do I need tools to set it up or fold it away?

No tools are needed. Our foldable reformers arrive 90% preassembled and feature a tool-free latch system that allows for folding or unfolding in under 30 seconds.

Which brand makes these folding reformers?

Core Collab manufactures every folding reformer in this collection. Core Collab has manufactured Pilates reformers for 25 years, including equipment built for some of the largest brands in the world. Nothing here is a rebadged import, which is why Core Collab specifies the hinge, the frame and the bearings rather than accepting a factory default.

Core Collab warranties these machines for 10 years on the frame and 2 years on moving parts — and that includes the folding mechanism. Most folding reformers sold in Australia carry one year, and the fold is the first thing to fail on a cheap machine. Core Collab warranties the fold.

Core Collab builds the Eco on FSC-certified solid oak with a 6-spring commercial-grade system and an 8-wheel carriage on ABEC-7 bearings — the same bearing grade Core Collab specifies on its commercial studio machines. Core Collab uses oak, never maple, and ships Australia-wide from its Gold Coast warehouse.
