What is the lead time on Elina Pilates equipment shipped to the US?

What makes Elina Pilates different from Merrithew and BASI?

Three exclusive features: the Elite Wood is the only reformer that stacks with the tower attached; the Master Instructor has a horizontal foot bar movement found on no other mainstream reformer; and Elina's Physio line has elevated frames engineered specifically for clinical populations. Merrithew has the strongest US service network. Elina typically costs less at comparable professional specifications.

What is the difference between the Elite Wood Reformer and the Master Instructor?

The Elite Wood is stackable with tower attached, 8 inches longer, 3 inches taller. The Master Instructor adds horizontal foot bar movement, 40 or 60 cm clinical bed height, and waterproof maple. Choose Elite for stackable storage. Choose Master Instructor for clinical use or the horizontal foot bar.

Which Elina reformer is best for physiotherapy?

Three clinical options: the Physio Wood Reformer (elevated frame), the Master Instructor at 60 cm (elevated frame plus horizontal foot bar), and the Master Instructor Physio With Tower (elevated frame, horizontal foot bar, full tower — the most complete clinical system).

Can I add a tower to an Elina reformer I already own?

Only the Elite Wood Reformer supports a retrofit tower kit — the Elite Half-Trapeze Tower Conversion Kit. Attaches to built-in anchor points, no frame modification, stays on during stacking. Other models require purchasing the tower-integrated version.

Are Elina Pilates reformers suitable for commercial studio use?

Yes. The Elite, Master Instructor, Physio, Lignum, and Aluminium lines are commercial-grade with 10-year structural warranties. Only the Domo and Home Aluminium are designed for home use.

Q: What is the difference between the Nubium and Domo reformers for home use?

The Nubium tips vertical against a wall — stays assembled, 2x3ft footprint. The Domo folds telescopically and rolls on wheels to closet size. Nubium for a dedicated corner; Domo to completely clear the room.

Three things Elina Pilates offers that no other reformer brand does

The only stackable reformer where the tower stays attached during stacking.

No other brand — Merrithew, BASI, Align — offers this. Every other system requires you to remove the tower before stacking. The Elite Wood line only.

The only professional reformer with a horizontal foot bar movement.

The foot bar slides along the reformer rail during exercises — a movement pattern unavailable on any other mainstream reformer. Unique to the Master Instructor line.

A dedicated clinical reformer line engineered for physiotherapy — not adapted from a standard model.

Elevated frames built specifically for post-surgical and reduced-mobility populations. The Physio and Master Instructor Physio lines.

Every machine in the range runs the same ultra-quiet precision carriage with a 10-year structural warranty rated for commercial studio use. 37 models total — from the entry-level Lignum to the complete cadillac-reformer systems.

Not right if

RecovAthlete — Before You Call

The Elite Wood is the right choice for studios managing multiple reformers — it's our best-selling Elina machine, and the stackable design is the only solution that actually works in tight studio layouts where tower removal between classes isn't practical. If you work with clinical populations or specifically need the horizontal foot bar movement, the Master Instructor is the right choice instead — a genuinely different machine, not just an Elite at a higher price. Call 866-861-6317 and we'll narrow it down in 10 minutes.

Three features no other brand matches. First: the Elite Wood is the only reformer that stacks with the tower attached. Second: the Master Instructor has a horizontal foot bar movement found on no other mainstream reformer. Third: Elina makes a dedicated Physio reformer line with elevated frames built for clinical populations — not a relabeled standard model. On trade-offs: Merrithew has the strongest US service network and STOTT class programming. Elina typically costs less at comparable professional specifications.

Different priorities, not different budget levels. The Elite Wood is stackable (tower stays attached), 8 inches longer and 3 inches taller, with a built-in tower anchor. The Master Instructor is not stackable but adds a horizontal foot bar movement unique to this line, 40 cm or 60 cm clinical bed height, and waterproof American maple. Choose Elite for stackable storage. Choose Master Instructor for clinical populations or the horizontal foot bar.

Three dedicated clinical options:

Physio Wood Reformer — elevated frame, standard instructor specs
Master Instructor at 60 cm height — elevated frame, horizontal foot bar, waterproof maple
Master Instructor Physio With Tower — the most complete clinical system: elevated frame, horizontal foot bar, waterproof maple, full tower

For most practices wanting both reformer and tower programming, the Master Instructor Physio With Tower is the single most capable configuration in the Elina range. Call 866-861-6317 to confirm the right fit for your patient population.

Only for the Elite Wood Reformer. It has a built-in tower anchoring system that accepts the Elite Half-Trapeze Tower Conversion Kit — no frame modification required, and the tower stays attached when stacking. Other Elina models are not compatible with a retrofit kit and require purchasing the tower-integrated version.

The Nubium tips to a 90-degree vertical position and holds itself against a wall — stays fully assembled, occupies a 2×3ft wall footprint. The Domo folds telescopically and rolls on wheels to closet-size storage. Nubium for a dedicated corner. Domo when you need to completely clear the room after every session.

Standard upholstery is Black or Grey on most models. Custom colors available on request: green, blue, red, ivory, ocean blue, and mocha. Custom colors have longer lead times. Call 866-861-6317 before ordering to confirm availability and current wait time for your specific model.

Yes. The Elite, Master Instructor, Physio, Lignum, Classic Aluminium, and standard Aluminium lines are all rated for commercial use — the 10-year structural warranty reflects that expectation. Only the Domo and Home Aluminium are designed specifically for home use.

The 3-in-1 Spine Corrector is the most practical first purchase — spine corrector, arc barrel, and step barrel in one piece, directly complementing reformer work. After that: the Wunda Chair adds a complete exercise category the reformer cannot replicate. The Elite Ladder Barrel adds spinal extension and lateral work. For foot and ankle focus, the Ped & Pull. For balance training, the Edge.
