The Classical Wood Reformer, Redesigned From the Carriage Out
The Artistry Reformer is Peak Pilates' most classical reformer - handcrafted from solid beechwood or walnut with black upholstery, and rebuilt around a redesigned steel carriage that carries every upgrade path the classical repertoire demands.
This configuration ships with the traditional rope and riser package: a pair of swivel ropes, adjustable risers and neoprene handles, for instructors who run rope-and-strap programming. The standard Long/Short Box and a full five-spring kit are included as standard.

Features
Handcrafted Solid Wood Frame
Built from solid beechwood or American walnut with black upholstery, finished for high-end studio and home installations where aesthetics and function coexist.
Four-Position Contoured Footbar
An innovative locking mechanism secures the bar without interrupting the flow of a session, and the contoured shape accommodates more foot positions than a straight bar.
Traditional Rope and Riser Package
A pair of swivel ropes, adjustable risers and neoprene handles support classical rope-and-strap programming; the risers retract for a clean transition into tower mode.
Carriage Built for Every Upgrade Path
The redesigned steel carriage includes a flip mechanism that allows an upgrade to a tower or twin mat system without replacing the reformer frame.
Four-to-Five Spring Configuration
A simple gear bar change switches between four and five springs. The proprietary spring bar support is rubber dipped and contoured for smoother, quieter spring changes.
Sleek Posts and Removable Headrest
Posts without metal brackets leave a clear space around the frame for unobstructed strap placement, and the 3-position headrest is fully removable for cleaning and care.

Installation
It arrives mostly built
Peak ships this crated and banded, with the frame, carriage and springs already assembled as one piece. What is left to you is bolting on the legs and risers, fitting the ropes and foot strap, and removing the shipping spacers that sit between the carriage frame and the rails to stop the wheels loading in transit. Those spacers are easy to miss, and the carriage will not run properly until they are out.
Plan for two people
Peak specifies a two-person lift for any placement or frame movement on its apparatus, and at 157 lb this is not a machine to move alone. Two people, about an hour, and a clear path from the kerb to the room. Delivery is curbside, so the lift from the kerb into the house is yours to organise.
Tools
The hardware and hex keys needed are in the box. No drilling, no wall fixing, no specialist tools.
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 gear bar and footbar lock positively into every position before loading the springs.

About Peak Pilates
Peak Pilates was founded in Colorado in 1996 and has been part of Mad Dogg Athletics — the company behind Spinning® — since 2009. Its education program, launched in 2001, was written by teachers trained in the direct line from Joseph Pilates: Colleen Glenn-Wilson, Peak's first Educational Director, studied primarily with Romana Kryzanowska, and also with Kathy Grant, Ron Fletcher and Eve Gentry.
That inheritance shapes the catalogue, which splits in two: the Studio Wood Line — classical apparatus handcrafted in solid wood, with a lifetime frame warranty on its reformers, Total Workout Systems and Cadillacs — and the Metal Line, where PilateSystem, MVe, fit and casa put the same repertoire on aluminium frames that stack, fold and nest for tight rooms.
Artistry
is the flagship of the Studio Wood Line — handcrafted solid wood in beechwood or walnut, developed with Peak's Master Instructors. Straps come in rope, vegan leather or premium leather. The reformer runs a steel carriage on a flip mechanism and posts without metal brackets, so straps sit anywhere along them. TWS (Total Workout System) folds a half-Cadillac tower onto the same frame; FWS tops it with an aluminium-extrusion tower worked from both sides at once; the Convertible merges reformer and Cadillac.
The Pilates Works is an authorized Peak Pilates dealer — which matters, because Peak's warranty covers only equipment bought from one. We handle warranty and parts claims directly with Peak.
