The Studio Pinnacle+ is not a traditional Pilates reformer. It is a Megaformer designed for high-intensity, slow-controlled strength training, often associated with Lagree-style workouts.
Where standard reformers focus on flow and mobility, the Pinnacle+ is built for time-under-tension, muscular endurance, and progressive overload. It’s designed for studios and advanced users looking to push beyond conventional Pilates.
Designed for Strength, Control, and Endurance
The Pinnacle+ supports a different style of training.
- Emphasis on slow, controlled movement under tension
- Targets deep stabilising muscles and full-body strength
- Supports high-intensity, low-impact conditioning
This makes it ideal for performance-focused studios and advanced practitioners.
Precision Movement with Alignment Control
The central carriage is built for accuracy and consistency.
- Numbered alignment grid for precise hand and foot placement
- Supports symmetrical training and load distribution
- Textured surface enhances grip during dynamic movement
This helps maintain correct form, especially during unilateral and complex sequences.
Advanced Resistance System
The Pinnacle+ uses a high-performance spring system designed for intensity.
- Combination of light and high-tension springs
- Calibrated resistance for progressive overload
- Built for long-term durability under repeated use
This allows for a wide range of strength-focused exercises.
Full-Body Training Across Multiple Planes
Unlike traditional reformers, the Pinnacle+ incorporates multiple platforms and grip points.
- Front and rear platforms for lunges, planks, and standing work
- Multiple handle positions for stability and control
- Strap and pulley system for upper-body integration
This enables more dynamic, full-body programming.
Built for Commercial Use
The Pinnacle+ is engineered for high-load environments.
- Powder-coated carbon steel frame for durability
- High-density padded platforms for comfort under load
- Anti-slip base for stability and floor protection
This makes it suitable for studios running high-frequency classes.
Expand Your Training Environment
To complement a Megaformer setup, consider adding:
- Studio Training Mat for floor-based strength and mobility work
- Core Movement Wrist & Ankle Weights for added resistance training
- Resistance Bands for warm-ups and accessory work
- 750ml or 1.2L Vacuum Insulated Water Bottle for studio sessions
These additions support a complete, high-performance training environment.
Who This Machine Is Best For
- Lagree and Megaformer studios
- High-intensity Pilates environments
- Advanced users and athletes
- Strength and conditioning-focused training
- Studios expanding beyond traditional reformer classes
Important Consideration
This is a specialised piece of equipment.
- Heavier and larger than standard reformers
- Requires dedicated space
