Talk to the Pilates Gurus: three gurus tell us about Technogym Reform
Three experts tell us about their experience with Technogym Reform, the new reformer that combines design, innovation and functionality to revolutionise Pilates.
In the world of Pilates, the balance between precision, fluidity and the connection between mind and body is fundamental. Technogym, a leader in the wellness design sector for over forty years, recently launched Technogym Reform, a machine that redefines the Pilates experience with sophisticated design and intuitive functionality. Made from sustainable materials such as wood, aluminium and vegan leather, Reform combines aesthetics and performance, offering a versatile experience suitable for any level. Fully integrated with the Technogym App for on-demand sessions, this reformer is a revolution for fitness centres and domestic settings alike.
Ashley DeLeon: “I feel strong and limber after every workout”
For Ashley DeLeon, based in New York, a Pilates instructor since 2005 and an internationally recognised guru, Technogym Reform is synonymous with versatility and quality. The combination between support, resistance and range of motion allows her to adapt each workout according to her goals and state of mind.
“A good Reformer makes you feel present in your workout. With the Technogym Reform, everything has been so well thought through that you don’t waste time with tricky set-ups or a wobbly carriage. I’m able to remain fully present in my workout”.
Ashley underlines the importance of the body feedback offered by the machine, especially in the core area, which allows her to connect with the movement while being deeply challenged. The experience is fluid and stable thanks to a carriage that glides smoothly, even with the heaviest springs, fostering a progression in strength without sacrificing range of motion or form.
“There is magic in the design and craftsmanship. All the details are so well thought through that moving on the machine feels really intuitive”.
Finally, DeLeon appreciates the product’s refined look and how it fits into her home:
“This is the most beautiful reformer I have ever seen! I live in a New York City apartment so everything in my home is considered. Bonus points for being able to store it upright when I need more floor space!”

Eleonora Pellegrin: “A reformer that predicts the future of Pilates”
During Milan Design Week, Eleonora Pellegrin, an expert in the discipline and certified Pilates instructor, had the opportunity to try Technogym Reform in an intensive way. Her technical analysis highlights many strengths, starting with the comfort of the carriage, for use when lying down, on all fours or in a standing position, thanks to the non-slip material and solid surface.
“The removable shoulder rests allow for a wider variety of exercises. The ergonomics of the footbar also make it easier to support both the hands and feet”.
One of Eleonora’s favourite features was how practical Reform is, making transitions between exercises faster without wasting time with complex adjustments. All the controls, from adjusting the belts with a single button on each side to the tilt of the headrest, have been designed to maximise efficiency and personalisation.
“The springs offer excellent resistance and the second line a bit further away allows for an intensity that’s suitable for even the most advanced practitioners”.
Eleonora sees Reform as a tool that can meet the demands of both classical Pilates and new trends such as HIIP (High Intensity Interval Pilates), dynamic and contemporary Pilates:
“It's a piece of equipment that reflects the evolution of Pilates. It adapts perfectly both for beginners and more expert and demanding users”.

Ashlea McKee: “A reformer that is thoughtfully designed to work with you”
For Ashlea McKee, a certified international Pilates instructor based in London, Technogym Reform manages to blend luxury and performance in a single tool. The elegance of the design and quality of the materials, especially the vegan leather and Italian craftsmanship, help create a complete sensory experience.
“Not only does it look beautiful, but it also performs incredibly well, offering exceptional comfort, feel and feedback. It creates a seamless journey from the start of your workout to the finish”.
Ashlea places particular emphasis on the quality of the springs, which exactly replicate the resistance expected from top-of-the-range equipment. She is struck by the consistency of the Reform experience, which helps the user without hindering them.
“I can’t wait to work out on the Technogym Reform again!”
