"The Reformer that Balanced Body makes to my specifications is top-quality, superbly crafted with attention to detail, and built to stand up under hard usage. Most importantly, it's built from the original, authent

ic models designed by Joe Pilates, improved with Balanced Body's updated materials and mechanical techniques."

–Ron Fletcher

Built from the original models designed for Joe Pilates 

Ron Fletcher was a dancer when he began his studies with Joseph and Clara Pilates in 1946. After Joe passed away, Ron continued to work with Clara. In 1970, he opened a Pilates exercise studio in Beverly Hills, attracting a Hollywood clientele and establishing Pilates on the West Coast.

Balanced Body has built custom Reformers for Ron since 1985. We are delighted to offer these superb machines in our catalog. Based on plans given to Ron by Clara Pilates, the Ron Fletcher Reformer is slightly shorter and narrower than our Studio Reformers. It features adjustable latigo leather straps and handles, a 3-position footbar and four springs.
