Maple Reformer with an Infinite Footbar
The Elite Advanced is the evolution of Elina Pilates' most recognized machine, built for maximum performance and versatility in professional studios. It is crafted from high-quality maple wood with stainless steel components and, like the Elite before it, is designed to stack.
Its defining change is the infinite footbar: instead of stopping at fixed positions, the bar slides along the entire length of the reformer, which makes adjustments instant and opens up exercise positions a stepped bar cannot reach.
What's Included:
- 1 x Elina Pilates Elite Advanced Reformer structure + carriage

- Carriage stopper system, adjustable in 3 positions
- Padded, adjustable and removable shoulder rests

- Foot strap in the well area, adjustable along the length of the machine

Features
Infinite Sliding Footbar
The footbar slides along the entire length of the reformer rather than clicking between fixed stops, allowing instant adjustment and a wider range of exercise positions.
Stackable Studio Design
The Elite Advanced stacks, so a studio can store several units in a single machine's footprint, and integrated wheels on the front legs make repositioning easy.
Six Springs on a Double-Height Bar
A complete set of six springs mounts on a double-height spring bar, so resistance levels can be combined to the exact intensity a client needs.
Automatic Retractable Rope System
The ropes retract and store underneath the carriage, so the well area stays clear when rope work is not in use.
Ultra-Quiet Carriage
Eight polyurethane wheels on high-precision bearings give the carriage a smooth, ultra-quiet ride, with a carriage stopper system adjustable in 3 positions.
Complete Studio Bundle
A medium padded box, an extra-wide removable jump board, a padded non-slip footbar and standing platform, and foot straps for the well area and both sides of the frame are all included.

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 187 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.
Resources
Warranty, Shipping and Returns
This apparatus is covered by the manufacturer's warranty from the date of purchase: a 10-year structural warranty on the frame and welds and a 2-year warranty on all other components. Upholstery and fabric are covered for 90 days against defects in normal use.
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 covers repair or replacement of defective parts at the manufacturer's option. Warranty 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 Elite range
is Elina's flagship: rock maple and stainless steel, built for intensive professional use and, unusually for a wood reformer, stackable, so a studio can clear the floor between classes. The Elite Reformer carries a seven-position quick-release footbar and six springs on a double-height bar; the 2026 Elite Advanced replaces that with a sliding "infinite" footbar locking at nine points along the frame. The tier also covers the Elite Cadillac Reformer, Combo Chair, Ladder Barrels and Spine Corrector.
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.
