In general, Pilates does not raise cortisol levels the way high-intensity or high-stress workouts can. In fact, it often has the opposite effect. Because Pilates emphasizes controlled movement, mindful breathing, and body awareness, it can help lower cortisol, the stress hormone, especially when practiced consistently.

Reformer Pilates adds resistance and full-body engagement, but it remains low-impact and restorative for many people. It’s especially helpful for those looking to manage stress while still building strength and improving mobility.

The Somato Folding Reformer was designed with this balance in mind. It brings a studio-quality Pilates experience into your home, allowing you to move with intention and stay consistent without putting your body into a high-stress state. Our guided programs in the Somato App also help you focus, breathe deeply, and unwind while you train.

If you're looking for a way to stay fit and grounded without spiking stress hormones, Reformer Pilates can be a powerful tool.

Absolutely! Especially if you're looking to build strength, improve flexibility, and support your overall well-being from the comfort of home. A Pilates reformer offers a full-body, low-impact workout that’s hard to replicate with other equipment. And if you're investing in one, it’s important to choose a reformer that’s designed for home use without sacrificing quality.

The Somato Folding Reformer is a studio-grade Pilates reformer specifically designed for home settings. It combines the benefits of a professional machine with a compact, foldable design that fits under most beds and sofas– no need for a dedicated workout room. With premium features like a quick-adjust spring system, removable shoulder blocks, and a three-position foot bar, the Somato Reformer makes your home practice seamless and effective.

You don’t need a reformer to practice Pilates at home. Mat Pilates is an excellent way to build strength, mobility, and body awareness using just your own body weight. But if you want to deepen your practice, a Pilates reformer can offer major benefits that aren’t possible on the mat alone.

Reformers add adjustable resistance through springs, allowing you to increase or decrease the challenge for each movement. While mat Pilates relies solely on body weight, resistance training helps build muscle more effectively, improves bone density, and creates more opportunities for progression over time.

While many reformer movements can be adapted for the mat, features like the moving carriage, three-position foot bar, and loops enable a wider variety of exercises that are difficult to replicate without equipment. A reformer helps keep both your mind and body engaged by introducing new challenges and movement patterns.

Reformer springs don’t just add challenge, they also provide support. If you struggle with certain mat exercises, a reformer can assist by reducing the load and guiding your body through the movement, helping you build strength safely and gradually.

If you love Pilates and want more versatility, strength training, and studio-quality variety in your home workouts, the Somato Folding Reformer is one of the best ways to elevate your practice.

Yes! You can absolutely get fit doing Reformer Pilates alone. Reformer Pilates is a full-body workout that builds core strength, lean muscle, flexibility, balance, and coordination– all without high-impact movements. With adjustable resistance and hundreds of possible exercises, it can challenge both beginners and advanced practitioners alike.

That said, the best workout for reaching any fitness goal is the one you actually enjoy. Consistency matters more than anything, and it's much easier to stay consistent with a workout you love doing.

That’s why Somato was created– to make studio-quality Reformer Pilates more accessible and more affordable, so every Pilates-lover can maintain a routine that supports their health and fitness goals, right from home. The Somato Folding Reformer delivers professional-grade performance in a compact, home-friendly design, helping you stay committed without compromising on quality or convenience.

Reformer Pilates is more expensive than Mat Pilates because of the specialized equipment, small class sizes, and highly trained instructors. Reformers are large, expensive machines. Most studios have a limited number of reformers available, so class sizes are kept small to ensure everyone gets proper instruction and access to a machine, which increases the cost per person.

Instructors must also complete extensive training to safely and effectively guide clients on the reformer, adding to the value of each session.

At Somato, we believe Reformer Pilates should be more accessible. That’s why we created the Somato Folding Reformer: a studio-grade reformer designed for home use. It offers all the benefits of professional equipment but at a more affordable price, and it folds down to just 6 inches for easy storage under most beds and sofas.

By practicing at home with Somato, you get the quality of a studio workout without the ongoing cost of classes, and the freedom to move at your own pace.

For home use, the Somato Folding Reformer is widely considered the best Pilates reformer on the market. Designed with Joseph Pilates’ original reformer in mind, it honors the integrity of the traditional equipment while incorporating modern upgrades that make home practice more accessible and intuitive.

The Somato Folding Reformer features a Dial System for quick and easy spring resistance adjustments, removable shoulder blocks, a three-position adjustable foot bar, and retractable straps that keep your setup streamlined. Unlike bulky reformers that dominate your living space, the Somato Reformer folds down to just 6 inches thick, making it the only studio-grade reformer that slides neatly under most beds and sofas.

Whether you're a seasoned Pilates enthusiast or just getting started, the Somato Folding Reformer brings professional quality and thoughtful design into your home without compromising on performance or aesthetics.

While Reformer Pilates offers many benefits, there are a few potential downsides to consider, especially if you're thinking about investing in a machine for home use.

Cost: Studio-quality reformers can be expensive, with most models priced around $4,000. This upfront cost can be a barrier for many people who want the benefits of Reformer Pilates at home.

Size and Storage: Most reformers are large, heavy, and not designed with home use in mind. They can take up significant space and are difficult to store, particularly in smaller living spaces or apartments.

Learning Curve: Although the reformer provides support and versatility, it can feel intimidating at first. Some movements require proper instruction to perform safely and effectively. If you're new to Pilates, it's important to follow classes led by certified, experienced instructors. The Somato App includes expert-led classes for all levels, helping you learn the fundamentals with confidence. For true beginners, taking a few in-person sessions before transitioning to home workouts can be helpful.

At Somato, we created the Folding Reformer and companion app to solve these common challenges. Our reformer folds down to just 6 inches for easy storage under most beds or sofas, making it ideal for home use. It’s more affordable than most professional machines, and it’s designed to be intuitive and beginner-friendly. Paired with the Somato App, you can build strength and confidence safely, all from the comfort of your home.

Most people benefit from doing Reformer Pilates 2 to 4 times per week. This frequency helps build strength, improve flexibility, and develop better movement patterns, all while giving your body time to recover and adapt.

Because Pilates is a low-impact workout, many people safely practice it even more frequently. Some do it daily, especially when alternating between more intense and gentler sessions. The key is to listen to your body and stay consistent over time.

The Somato Folding Reformer is designed to make that consistency easier. By bringing studio-quality Pilates into your home, it removes the barriers of class schedules and studio pricing. With the Somato App, you can follow expert-led programs at your own pace, whether that’s twice a week or every morning.

As always, it’s a good idea to consult with a healthcare provider to determine the best workout plan for your body and goals.

Reformer Pilates has exploded in popularity, and for good reason. It’s one of the few workouts that truly combines strength training, mobility work, and mindfulness all in one. With smooth, low-impact movements and adjustable resistance, it sculpts muscles, supports joint health, improves posture, and builds core strength without the burnout that can come from high-intensity workouts.

People also love that Reformer Pilates feels elevated and intentional. The equipment itself creates a sense of structure and flow that makes the workout feel focused, graceful, and even meditative. It’s especially popular among those who want to feel strong without feeling wrecked.

At Somato, we’ve seen firsthand why the obsession is real. Our Folding Reformer brings that studio experience home– minus the bulk or the $40-per-class price tag. With the Somato App, you get access to high-quality classes designed for real life, so you can experience all the benefits of Reformer Pilates, anytime and anywhere.

Whether you're in it for the sculpted muscles, the mindful movement, or the calming routine, Reformer Pilates is more than just a trend; it’s a practice people genuinely fall in love with.

Can you lose weight from reformer Pilates?

Pilates, especially Reformer Pilates, can support fat loss, including around the belly, by helping you build lean muscle. While it's not possible to spot-reduce fat in one specific area, Pilates helps create a stronger midsection while improving overall body composition.

But the most important factor in reaching any health or fitness goal (including burning belly fat) is consistency. And the easiest way to stay consistent is to do a workout you actually enjoy.

If you love Pilates, the Somato Folding Reformer makes it easier to stay committed. It brings studio-quality Reformer Pilates into your home in a compact, affordable design, and our app offers guided workouts for all levels. We created Somato to increase access to the kind of movement people fall in love with, so you can stay motivated and feel your best.

Many people start to feel results within just a few sessions of Reformer Pilates– often noticing better posture, improved flexibility, and increased core awareness right away. With consistent practice (around 2 to 4 times per week), you may start to see visible changes in muscle tone, strength, and alignment within 4 to 8 weeks.

Joseph Pilates famously said, “In 10 sessions you’ll feel the difference, in 20 you’ll see the difference, and in 30 you’ll have a whole new body.” While everyone’s timeline is different, the key is consistency.

The Somato Folding Reformer makes that consistency easier. With a compact, home-friendly design and guided classes available in the Somato App, you can practice regularly without the cost or scheduling hassle of a studio. That means you can see and feel results faster, on your own terms.

The 10-20-30 rule comes from a famous quote by Joseph Pilates, the founder of the method. He said:

“In 10 sessions you’ll feel the difference, in 20 you’ll see the difference, and in 30 you’ll have a whole new body.”

This rule isn’t a scientific formula, but it captures what many people experience when they start a consistent Pilates practice, especially with Reformer Pilates, which adds resistance and support for faster progress.

After 10 sessions, you may feel stronger, more aligned, and more connected to your core. By 20 sessions, you may start to notice visible changes in posture, tone, and flexibility. After around 30 sessions, many people experience a full-body transformation in how they move, feel, and function day to day.

At Somato, we created the Folding Reformer and companion app to help you experience those benefits at home. With studio-quality equipment and expert-led classes, it’s easier to stay consistent, and consistency is what makes the 10-20-30 rule come to life.

Yes, home Pilates reformers can be very effective if they’re well-designed and built to last. A high-quality home reformer should offer smooth resistance, be at least 80” long (or longer depending on your height), and offer the same versatility you’d get from studio equipment. Unfortunately, many home reformers are either too bulky for small spaces or too flimsy to deliver real results.

That’s why we created the Somato Folding Reformer. It’s a studio-grade machine designed specifically for home use. It’s durable, smooth, and compact. It folds down to just 6 inches thick, so you can store it under most beds or sofas without sacrificing performance. Paired with the Somato App, which offers expert-led classes for all levels, it brings the full studio experience into your living room.

Whether you're a Pilates beginner or a longtime enthusiast, a good home reformer like Somato's can help you stay consistent, save money on studio classes, and see real results.

It depends on what you’re looking for. Mat Pilates at home can be incredibly effective for building core strength, improving mobility, and increasing body awareness, especially if you're consistent and follow well-structured classes. However, Reformer Pilates offers more versatility, resistance, and support, which can lead to faster results and a deeper practice.

A Pilates reformer adds several benefits that you can’t get from the mat alone. The adjustable spring resistance helps you build strength and progress over time. The moving carriage, foot bar, and straps allow for a greater range of motion and more exercise variety. And importantly, reformer springs don’t just add challenge, they also provide support. If you struggle with certain mat exercises, a reformer can assist by reducing the load and guiding your body through the movement, helping you build strength safely and gradually.

With the Somato Folding Reformer, you no longer have to choose between studio-quality workouts and the convenience of home. Our reformer folds down to just 6 inches, making it perfect for small spaces, and the Somato App provides expert-led programs for all levels.

So yes, at-home Pilates can be just as good as Reformer Pilates if your at-home setup includes the right tools. That’s exactly what Somato was designed for.

If you love Pilates and want to practice consistently, buying your own reformer can absolutely be worth it, both financially and in terms of results. Studio classes can cost $30 to $50 each, and over time, those costs add up quickly. Having a reformer at home allows you to practice more frequently, more affordably, and on your own schedule.

The key is choosing a reformer that’s well-made, compact enough for your space, and designed for real, long-term use. That’s why we created the Somato Folding Reformer, a studio-grade machine that folds down to just 6 inches, making it easy to store under most beds or sofas. It’s built for quality, durability, and everyday use, with features like adjustable resistance, removable shoulder blocks, and a smooth, supportive carriage.

Paired with the Somato App, which includes expert-led classes for all levels, it gives you everything you need to build strength, stay motivated, and enjoy the benefits of Reformer Pilates from home.

So yes, if Pilates is part of your routine (or you want it to be), investing in your own reformer is not only worth it, it can be the best way to make your practice truly sustainable.

Yes, it is absolutely possible to do Reformer Pilates at home, and with the right setup, it can be just as effective as going to a studio. The key is having access to a high-quality reformer and well-designed classes that guide you through safe and effective workouts.

The Somato Folding Reformer was specifically created to bring studio-grade Pilates into home environments. It folds down to just 6 inches, so it can be easily stored under most beds or sofas, making it ideal even for small spaces. And with the Somato App, you can follow expert-led workouts tailored for all levels, so you can practice confidently and consistently– no commute or studio schedule required.

At-home Reformer Pilates gives you the freedom to move on your own time, save money on studio fees, and build strength, flexibility, and focus in a way that fits your lifestyle.

Reformer Pilates and yoga are both challenging in their own ways, but many people find that Reformer Pilates feels more physically intense, especially at first. That’s because a Pilates reformer uses spring resistance, a moving carriage, and precise muscle control, which demand a high level of core engagement, stability, and strength throughout the entire workout.

Yoga often emphasizes flexibility, balance, and breathwork, while Pilates (especially on the reformer) focuses more on controlled, strength-based movements that target deep core muscles. Neither is “better”, they simply challenge the body in different ways.

If you’re looking for a low-impact workout that builds strength, tones muscles, and improves mobility, Reformer Pilates can be a great complement or alternative to yoga.

The Somato Folding Reformer makes it easy to bring this full-body training into your home. With adjustable resistance and guided classes on the Somato App, you can build strength and control at your own pace, whether you’re new to Pilates or coming from a yoga background.

The best Pilates reformer depends on your goals, space, and budget, but for home use, the Somato Folding Reformer is widely considered one of the top choices. It combines studio-grade quality with a compact, elegant design that fits effortlessly into modern living spaces.

Unlike most bulky reformers, the Somato Reformer folds down to just 6 inches, so it can slide under a bed or sofa when not in use. It features thoughtful upgrades like a Dial system for quick spring adjustments, removable shoulder blocks, a three-position foot bar, and retracting straps– all designed to make home workouts smoother and more intuitive.

What sets Somato apart is that it was created specifically to bring professional-level Pilates into the home. Paired with the Somato App, you get expert-led Reformer classes tailored for all experience levels, so you can build strength, improve mobility, and stay consistent, all from your own space.

Whether you’re a beginner or a lifelong Pilates lover, the Somato Folding Reformer is one of the best options for getting a full-body, low-impact workout at home without compromising on quality or design.
