When I first discovered Pilates, it was through my best friend. She was achieving results that seemed out of reach, even with my consistent gym routine. Out of curiosity, I joined her for a session—and it was a game-changer. Each movement felt deliberate, targeting muscles I didn’t even know existed. I left the session exhausted yet exhilarated. Despite years of weightlifting, I felt muscles working in new ways, and I was sore for a week afterward.
Soon, the changes started to show. My posture improved, my muscles became more toned, and I experienced a new sense of overall well-being that I had never achieved with traditional strength training. In just a month and a half, I saw more results than I had in two years of hitting the gym. But there was a catch: Pilates was prohibitively expensive. Classes often started at €25, studio memberships hovered around €100 per month, and you had to book weeks in advance to secure time on a Reformer machine. The financial and logistical barriers were daunting.
A Frustrating Reality
One day, my friend and I were chatting about how amazing it would be to have our own Reformer machine at home. That way, we wouldn’t need to juggle studio schedules or pay steep fees. But when I started researching the market, I was stunned. A good Reformer machine cost anywhere from €2,000 to €3,000—completely out of reach for most people, including me.
A Vision Takes Shape
Feeling frustrated yet determined, I set out to create an alternative. I envisioned a portable kit that would replicate the essential Reformer exercises but at a fraction of the cost. A kit that could be used anywhere—at home, while traveling, even outdoors.
I partnered with two experts close to me:
- My brother, an engineer with a passion for innovation, helped design resistance bands that mimicked the tension of professional-grade Reformer springs.
- My husband, a physiotherapist specializing in elite sports, reviewed every component to ensure the exercises were not only effective but also safe.
After months of research, prototyping, and testing, our Pilates kit was born. It combines portability, professional-level quality, and affordability—all in one package.
