Ron Fletcher Reformer

The Ron Fletcher Reformer is a studio-grade Pilates reformer built to Ron Fletcher’s own specifications, combining Balanced Body’s precision engineering with the traditional feel he helped define decades ago.

Why Choose the Ron Fletcher Reformer

Traditional in design, size and function, the Fletcher Reformer is slightly narrower than our Studio Reformer. It also features adjustable latigo leather straps, extension straps, a 3-position footbar, and four springs. The Reformer is hand-built to Fletcher’s specifications, bestowed on him by Clara Pilates, and incorporates Balanced Body’s innovations, unparalleled craftsmanship and premium materials.

Every Ron Fletcher Reformer is hand-built in small batches, so fit and finish are checked at each stage rather than rushed through mass production. Studios that want a machine with genuine pedigree, not just a modern reinterpretation, consistently choose this model for its narrower profile, its latigo leather strap system, and its direct link to one of Pilates history’s most respected teachers.
