All-Black Aluminium Reformer
The Nubium Black Edition is a limited edition of the Nubium reformer finished entirely in black - frame, hardware and upholstery - which gives it a distinctly different presence from the white-framed original.
Mechanically it is the Nubium: a robust ergonomic aluminium structure, an ultra-quiet carriage on eight polyurethane wheels with high-precision bearings, retractable ropes, and the ability to stand upright for storage.

Features
Limited Black Edition Finish
Frame, hardware and upholstery are all black - the same machine as the Nubium, presented in a fully black version that suits a darker studio scheme.
Vertical Storage
The Black Edition stands upright when not in use, so it stores against a wall instead of committing eight feet of floor permanently.
Ultra-Quiet Eight-Wheel Carriage
Eight polyurethane wheels running on high-precision bearings give the carriage a smooth, near-silent movement.
Retractable Rope System
The automatic rope collection system stores the ropes in the lower part of the carriage, keeping the machine tidy between sessions.
Black Aluminium Structure
The robust ergonomic frame is built from black aluminium, light enough to stand upright and reposition without a second person.
Complete Bundle
The Black Edition ships with the padded box, jump board, padded foot platform, padded double-loop hand and foot straps, an adjustable foot strap and a five-spring set.

Installation
It arrives semi-assembled
Elina ships its apparatus part-built and states that assembly is designed to be done without professional assistance: the frame comes as one piece and you add the accompanying parts. Expect to fit the footbar, ropes and any tower or box components supplied with your configuration.
Plan for two people
Delivery is to street level, and at 139 lb this is not a machine to move alone. Two people, a clear path from the curb to the room, and about an hour is the realistic picture. Measure the doorway and any turn at the top of a staircase before delivery day rather than after.
Tools
The fixings and keys needed are supplied in the packaging. No drilling and no wall fixing for a free-standing reformer; wall units and boards are the exception and do need fixing into structure.
First session setup
Once it is together, run the carriage end to end a few times to seat the wheels, check the rope lengths match on both sides, and confirm the footbar locks positively into every position before loading the springs to full.

Warranty, Shipping and Returns
This apparatus is backed by the Elina Pilates manufacturer's warranty against manufacturing defects from the date of purchase. Upholstery and fabric are covered for 90 days against defects in normal use. Contact us for the full warranty schedule for this product line.
To keep the warranty valid: use the equipment indoors in a climate-controlled space, follow the maintenance guidelines in the manual, and replace springs every two years on spring-loaded equipment. The warranty applies to the original purchaser with proof of purchase, and claims are handled through us with Elina Pilates' technical service.
Free curbside freight delivery
in the contiguous United States (we do not ship to Alaska, Hawaii or Puerto Rico). Your equipment ships via LTL freight carrier, carefully packed and secured to a wooden skid. Curbside delivery includes liftgate service, where the driver unloads to the curb as close to your building as possible. We recommend having two people available to carry the equipment inside; equipment arrives semi-assembled and is designed to be set up without professional help.
Lead times
Elina Pilates equipment is built at the factory in Spain. In-stock items in standard Black or Grey upholstery typically deliver in 2 to 4 weeks. Special upholstery colors are made to order and take approximately 10 weeks. We confirm your delivery estimate when your order is processed, and the carrier will call to schedule delivery.
Inspect on delivery
please note any damage on the carrier's waybill before signing, and report damaged, missing or incorrect items within 48 hours of receipt. Do not open boxes with box cutters, because blades can damage upholstered parts.
We accept returns within 30 days of delivery on eligible items. Equipment must be unused, in its original packaging with all instructions, accessories and documentation. All returns require a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number issued before shipping the item back; the customer is responsible for return shipping costs.
Non-returnable
made-to-order items (including special upholstery colors), large equipment (reformers, cadillacs, towers, ladder barrels, chairs, wall units and boards, barrels and arcs), accessories and spare parts, except where covered by warranty. If you receive a damaged, defective or incorrect item, contact us within 48 hours and we will make it right.
About Elina Pilates
Elina Pilates has designed and built Pilates apparatus in Navarra, northern Spain since 2007, from its own plant in the Noaín-Esquíroz industrial park outside Pamplona. Close to two decades in, its machines are in studios across five continents.
Rock maple is the house timber, chosen for strength and dimensional stability across the professional wood range; the aluminium machines use anodised high-strength extrusion. One detail runs through nearly the whole catalogue, a near-silent carriage on eight polyurethane wheels with high-precision bearings. Machines are developed with working Pilates teachers, and Elina holds multiple patents and registered designs.
The Nubium range
is Elina's value aluminium reformer, positioned by the company for domestic and professional use alike. It keeps the essentials, a seven-position footbar, five springs on a double-height bar, a damped carriage stop, retractable ropes and an extra-wide box, while leaving out the adjustable pulleys and quick-release hardware of the Mentor and Elite. It stores vertically for small rooms. The Black Edition is the same machine in black anodised aluminium, upholstered in black only.
The Pilates Works is an approved Elina Pilates retailer. Equipment is supplied new with the full manufacturer's warranty, and we handle any claim directly with Elina.
