Description
Merrithew Complete Studio Package SPX Max — 4-Reformer Stackable Group Pilates Studio with Cadillac, Chairs & Barrels (Most Cost-Effective)
The Merrithew Complete Studio Package SPX Max (ST11039) is the most cost-effective entry into a fully configured group Pilates studio. Four SPX Max Reformer Bundles — each 128 lbs (58 kg), 22 in frame height, 425 lb weight capacity, and fully stackable — built for high-volume studios where space is at a premium. Same C-channel aluminum rails, Retractable Rope System, and High Precision Springs Package as the V2 Max, in a lighter and more compact frame. No Vertical Frame included, but every unit is upgradeable. Package also includes a standalone Cadillac Trapeze Table, two Split-Pedal Stability Chairs with Handles, Ladder Barrel, Spine Corrector, four Arc Barrels, and a complete per-reformer accessory set. Bundle savings: $4,978 vs purchasing all components individually. Includes 60-day Merrithew Connect™ digital workout access. Net price — cannot be combined with any discounts or promotions. Six standard upholstery colors; 20+ custom colors available at checkout.
RecovAthlete is an authorized Merrithew dealer. Every order ships direct from Merrithew's authorized North American distribution network.
IMPORTANT:
This is a 4-machine commercial freight order with a 10–12 week lead time from order confirmation. The Cadillac is 91 in (7.6 ft) tall — minimum 9 ft ceiling clearance required. Delivery requires a freight-accessible entrance. Confirm space dimensions and delivery access before ordering. Call 866-861-6317.
BEST FOR:
- Studios where floor space is a premium and reformers need to stack between sessions
- Multi-use facilities running Pilates alongside other programming in the same room
- Group Pilates operators opening their first studio on a controlled budget
- Hotel fitness centers and wellness spas with limited dedicated Pilates space
- Studios that want commercial warranty performance without the V2 Max price point
NOT IDEAL FOR:
- Studios that need Cadillac-style programming at every reformer station — see the SPX Max Plus package with Vertical Frames included
- Facilities serving larger body sizes that need the higher 16 in carriage of the V2 Max
- Rooms with ceilings under 9 ft — Cadillac requires full overhead clearance
- Buyers who need equipment in under 10 weeks
- Home users without freight delivery access
WHY RECOVATHLETE CARRIES THIS
SPX Max is Merrithew's most popular commercial reformer and attracts buyers who haven't yet decided between SPX and V2 Max. We ask the right questions — class format, upgrade plans, stack storage layout — before the order ships. Call 866-861-6317 or schedule a pre-order call.
SPX Max vs V2 Max: What You Get and What You Give Up
The SPX Max and V2 Max share the same carriage mechanics, spring package, and rope system. The differences are frame height, weight, and upgrade path:
- Frame height: SPX Max = 22 in (stackable). V2 Max = standard height with 16 in carriage from floor (easier access for larger bodies)
- Weight: SPX Max = 128 lbs. V2 Max = 145 lbs. One person can safely reposition an SPX Max
- Stackability: SPX Max stacks — shoulder rests slide into brackets, pullybars detach without disengaging ropes. V2 Max does not stack
- Upgrade path: SPX Max can add a Vertical Frame (SPX Max Plus upgrade). V2 Max adds the full V2 Max Plus Vertical Frame. Both upgrade paths exist — the SPX Max is not a dead end
If your studio runs daily group classes in a dedicated space and client size range is diverse, the V2 Max package is worth the step up. If floor space flexibility is the priority, the SPX Max package is the right call.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the SPX Max package compare to the SPX Max Plus and V2 Max packages?
The SPX Max is the most cost-effective package — stackable reformers, no Vertical Frame included, but upgradeable. The SPX Max Plus package adds Vertical Frames to every station for 80% Cadillac capability per reformer at a higher price. The V2 Max package trades stackability for a higher 16 in carriage and better accommodation for larger body sizes. Choose SPX Max if budget and floor flexibility are the priority.
Can I add Vertical Frames later?
Yes. The SPX Max is upgradeable to SPX Max Plus configuration with the Vertical Frame add-on — available at time of purchase or added per reformer later. The High-Precision Gearbar upgrade is also available at purchase. Call 866-861-6317 to add these at order time.
How does stacking work?
Shoulder rests slide into storage brackets and pullybars detach without disengaging ropes. Studios typically stack 2 units, reducing floor footprint by 30%+. Call 866-861-6317 to confirm the storage configuration for your specific space before ordering.
What ceiling height do I need?
Minimum 9 ft for the standalone Cadillac (91 in / 7.6 ft). If you add Vertical Frames to any reformer at purchase, those also require 9 ft+ clearance. A 69 in custom Cadillac is available for lower-ceiling rooms at additional cost — call 866-861-6317 before ordering.
Can I add the extension upgrade for taller clients?
Yes. The SPX Max Reformer Extension Upgrade (ST02094) adds 6 in (15.2 cm) to reformer length and is available at time of purchase. Call 866-861-6317 to add it at order time.
Is financing available?
Yes. We work with Brickhouse Capital, Reliant Capital, Acorn Finance, and KWIPPED for commercial fitness equipment financing. Call 866-861-6317 to discuss options before ordering.
What is the lead time?
10–12 weeks from order confirmation. Plan your equipment order at least 3 months before your target studio open date. Call 866-861-6317 to confirm the current production schedule.

- Frame height: SPX Max = 22 in (stackable). V2 Max = standard height with 16 in carriage from floor (easier access for larger bodies)
- Weight: SPX Max = 128 lbs. V2 Max = 145 lbs. One person can safely reposition an SPX Max
- Stackability: SPX Max stacks — shoulder rests slide into brackets, pullybars detach without disengaging ropes. V2 Max does not stack
- Upgrade path: SPX Max can add a Vertical Frame (SPX Max Plus upgrade). V2 Max adds the full V2 Max Plus Vertical Frame. Both upgrade paths exist — the SPX Max is not a dead end
If your studio runs daily group classes in a dedicated space and client size range is diverse, the V2 Max package is worth the step up. If floor space flexibility is the priority, the SPX Max package is the right call.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the SPX Max package compare to the SPX Max Plus and V2 Max packages?
The SPX Max is the most cost-effective package — stackable reformers, no Vertical Frame included, but upgradeable. The SPX Max Plus package adds Vertical Frames to every station for 80% Cadillac capability per reformer at a higher price. The V2 Max package trades stackability for a higher 16 in carriage and better accommodation for larger body sizes. Choose SPX Max if budget and floor flexibility are the priority.
Can I add Vertical Frames later?
Yes. The SPX Max is upgradeable to SPX Max Plus configuration with the Vertical Frame add-on — available at time of purchase or added per reformer later. The High-Precision Gearbar upgrade is also available at purchase. Call 866-861-6317 to add these at order time.
How does stacking work?
Shoulder rests slide into storage brackets and pullybars detach without disengaging ropes. Studios typically stack 2 units, reducing floor footprint by 30%+. Call 866-861-6317 to confirm the storage configuration for your specific space before ordering.
What ceiling height do I need?
Minimum 9 ft for the standalone Cadillac (91 in / 7.6 ft). If you add Vertical Frames to any reformer at purchase, those also require 9 ft+ clearance. A 69 in custom Cadillac is available for lower-ceiling rooms at additional cost — call 866-861-6317 before ordering.
Can I add the extension upgrade for taller clients?
Yes. The SPX Max Reformer Extension Upgrade (ST02094) adds 6 in (15.2 cm) to reformer length and is available at time of purchase. Call 866-861-6317 to add it at order time.
Is financing available?
Yes. We work with Brickhouse Capital, Reliant Capital, Acorn Finance, and KWIPPED for commercial fitness equipment financing. Call 866-861-6317 to discuss options before ordering.
What is the lead time?
10–12 weeks from order confirmation. Plan your equipment order at least 3 months before your target studio open date. Call 866-861-6317 to confirm the current production schedule.
ALSO CONSIDER
- Complete Studio Package SPX Max Plus → Adds Vertical Frames to every station — 80% Cadillac capability per reformer.
- Complete Studio Package V2 Max → Higher 16 in carriage, better for larger body sizes, non-stackable.
- Complete Studio Package V2 Max Plus → Highest-spec package — Vertical Frames + extended platform included.
- SPX Max Reformer Bundle → Single reformer unit from this package, sold individually.

Merrithew Complete Studio Package SPX Max — 4-Reformer Stackable Group Pilates Studio with Cadillac, Chairs & Barrels (Most Cost-Effective)
The Merrithew Complete Studio Package SPX Max (ST11039) is the most cost-effective entry into a fully configured group Pilates studio. Four SPX Max Reformer Bundles — each 128 lbs (58 kg), 22 in frame height, 425 lb weight capacity, and fully stackable — built for high-volume studios where space is at a premium. Same C-channel aluminum rails, Retractable Rope System, and High Precision Springs Package as the V2 Max, in a lighter and more compact frame. No Vertical Frame included, but every unit is upgradeable. Package also includes a standalone Cadillac Trapeze Table, two Split-Pedal Stability Chairs with Handles, Ladder Barrel, Spine Corrector, four Arc Barrels, and a complete per-reformer accessory set. Bundle savings: $4,978 vs purchasing all components individually. Includes 60-day Merrithew Connect™ digital workout access. Net price — cannot be combined with any discounts or promotions. Six standard upholstery colors; 20+ custom colors available at checkout.
RecovAthlete is an authorized Merrithew dealer. Every order ships direct from Merrithew's authorized North American distribution network.
IMPORTANT:
This is a 4-machine commercial freight order with a 10–12 week lead time from order confirmation. The Cadillac is 91 in (7.6 ft) tall — minimum 9 ft ceiling clearance required. Delivery requires a freight-accessible entrance. Confirm space dimensions and delivery access before ordering. Call 866-861-6317.
BEST FOR:
- Studios where floor space is a premium and reformers need to stack between sessions
- Multi-use facilities running Pilates alongside other programming in the same room
- Group Pilates operators opening their first studio on a controlled budget
- Hotel fitness centers and wellness spas with limited dedicated Pilates space
- Studios that want commercial warranty performance without the V2 Max price point
NOT IDEAL FOR:
- Studios that need Cadillac-style programming at every reformer station — see the SPX Max Plus package with Vertical Frames included
- Facilities serving larger body sizes that need the higher 16 in carriage of the V2 Max
- Rooms with ceilings under 9 ft — Cadillac requires full overhead clearance
- Buyers who need equipment in under 10 weeks
- Home users without freight delivery access
WHY RECOVATHLETE CARRIES THIS
SPX Max is Merrithew's most popular commercial reformer and attracts buyers who haven't yet decided between SPX and V2 Max. We ask the right questions — class format, upgrade plans, stack storage layout — before the order ships. Call 866-861-6317 or schedule a pre-order call.

Package also includes a standalone Cadillac Trapeze Table, two Split-Pedal Stability Chairs with Handles, Ladder Barrel, Spine Corrector, four Arc Barrels, and a complete per-reformer accessory set.

RecovAthlete is an authorized Merrithew dealer. Every order ships direct from Merrithew's authorized North American distribution network.
IMPORTANT:
This is a 4-machine commercial freight order with a 10–12 week lead time from order confirmation. The Cadillac is 91 in (7.6 ft) tall — minimum 9 ft ceiling clearance required. Delivery requires a freight-accessible entrance. Confirm space dimensions and delivery access before ordering. Call 866-861-6317.
BEST FOR:
- Studios where floor space is a premium and reformers need to stack between sessions
- Multi-use facilities running Pilates alongside other programming in the same room
- Group Pilates operators opening their first studio on a controlled budget
- Hotel fitness centers and wellness spas with limited dedicated Pilates space
- Studios that want commercial warranty performance without the V2 Max price point
NOT IDEAL FOR:
- Studios that need Cadillac-style programming at every reformer station — see the SPX Max Plus package with Vertical Frames included
- Facilities serving larger body sizes that need the higher 16 in carriage of the V2 Max
- Rooms with ceilings under 9 ft — Cadillac requires full overhead clearance
- Buyers who need equipment in under 10 weeks
- Home users without freight delivery access
WHY RECOVATHLETE CARRIES THIS
SPX Max is Merrithew's most popular commercial reformer and attracts buyers who haven't yet decided between SPX and V2 Max. We ask the right questions — class format, upgrade plans, stack storage layout — before the order ships. Call 866-861-6317 or schedule a pre-order call.
SPX Max vs V2 Max: What You Get and What You Give Up
The SPX Max and V2 Max share the same carriage mechanics, spring package, and rope system. The differences are frame height, weight, and upgrade path:
- Frame height: SPX Max = 22 in (stackable). V2 Max = standard height with 16 in carriage from floor (easier access for larger bodies)
- Weight: SPX Max = 128 lbs. V2 Max = 145 lbs. One person can safely reposition an SPX Max
- Stackability: SPX Max stacks — shoulder rests slide into brackets, pullybars detach without disengaging ropes. V2 Max does not stack
- Upgrade path: SPX Max can add a Vertical Frame (SPX Max Plus upgrade). V2 Max adds the full V2 Max Plus Vertical Frame. Both upgrade paths exist — the SPX Max is not a dead end
If your studio runs daily group classes in a dedicated space and client size range is diverse, the V2 Max package is worth the step up. If floor space flexibility is the priority, the SPX Max package is the right call.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the SPX Max package compare to the SPX Max Plus and V2 Max packages?
The SPX Max is the most cost-effective package — stackable reformers, no Vertical Frame included, but upgradeable. The SPX Max Plus package adds Vertical Frames to every station for 80% Cadillac capability per reformer at a higher price. The V2 Max package trades stackability for a higher 16 in carriage and better accommodation for larger body sizes. Choose SPX Max if budget and floor flexibility are the priority.
Can I add Vertical Frames later?
Yes. The SPX Max is upgradeable to SPX Max Plus configuration with the Vertical Frame add-on — available at time of purchase or added per reformer later. The High-Precision Gearbar upgrade is also available at purchase. Call 866-861-6317 to add these at order time.
How does stacking work?
Shoulder rests slide into storage brackets and pullybars detach without disengaging ropes. Studios typically stack 2 units, reducing floor footprint by 30%+. Call 866-861-6317 to confirm the storage configuration for your specific space before ordering.
What ceiling height do I need?
Minimum 9 ft for the standalone Cadillac (91 in / 7.6 ft). If you add Vertical Frames to any reformer at purchase, those also require 9 ft+ clearance. A 69 in custom Cadillac is available for lower-ceiling rooms at additional cost — call 866-861-6317 before ordering.
Can I add the extension upgrade for taller clients?
Yes. The SPX Max Reformer Extension Upgrade (ST02094) adds 6 in (15.2 cm) to reformer length and is available at time of purchase. Call 866-861-6317 to add it at order time.
Is financing available?
Yes. We work with Brickhouse Capital, Reliant Capital, Acorn Finance, and KWIPPED for commercial fitness equipment financing. Call 866-861-6317 to discuss options before ordering.
What is the lead time?
