Reformer Signature
The Operating System for Reformer Studios
Reformer Signature helps Pilates studios, fitness clubs and business owners to create consistent, recognisable and scalable Reformer experiences through a structured method, ongoing training, evolving programme planning and new immersive content supporting the class in the studio.
Born out of the RYB experience
Created by instructors Designed for those who use the Reformer every day
Reformer Signature stems from the real-world experience of RYB studios: from the classes, the instructors and the needs of end clients. It is a system built on scientific principles, field-tested and designed by those who use the Reformer every day, to create classes that are more consistent, recognisable and capable of delivering value to those who train, those who teach and those who run the studio. For over 25 years, RYB has been developing solutions for professional Pilates. Over 500 trainers have been trained and more than 200 partners have been supported in the integration and development of Reformer Pilates. The very same system used in our Fusion Pilates studios is now available for your studio.

Testimonials
Why the Reformer is different
The Reformer combines personalisation, progression and small-group training. This is why it is now one of the models with the highest potential for customer retention in the fitness and wellness sector. With Reformer Signature, you can introduce this model through a structured system that has already been tested and is ready for implementation.
When there's no set method, every class takes on a different character
A Reformer class shouldn't depend solely on the instructor leading it. Without a shared framework, the experience can lose its quality, consistency and identity. Reformer Signature was created to give every class a recognisable signature
If you run a gym or fitness centre
Your members are asking for Pilates. Or worse — they're no longer asking, because they've already gone to the boutique studio that's opened near you. The problem isn't Pilates: it's that adding a service without an operational system behind it means relying on whichever instructor you can find, hoping they don't leave, and managing something you don't understand. Reformer Signature solves the system, not just the service.
If you're considering opening a studio as an investment
A service that depends on a single key person isn't an asset — it's a risk. Reformer Pilates has the highest retention rate of any group fitness format. But only if it's structured as a replicable system, not a one-off project. The difference between a studio that thrives and one that collapses at the first change of instructor lies in the underlying protocol.
If you already have a Reformer studio
When every instructor teaches the class in their own way, the perceived quality varies from class to class. More experienced clients notice this. Newcomers struggle to see a clear progression. Retention rates drop. Reformer Signature gives every class a recognisable structure — regardless of who is leading it.
The programmes
A variety of experiences A single method
The Reformer Signature system includes three structured programmes, each with clear progression paths, dedicated resources for instructors and regular updates. Choose the programme best suited to your clients or combine several programmes within your offering.
Balance
The most accessible and progressive programme, designed to introduce clients to the Reformer with control, quality of movement and a focus on postural wellbeing.
Improve their posture, approach the Reformer gradually, and rediscover greater wellbeing in their everyday movements.
Fit & Flex
A dynamic, all-round programme designed to improve muscle tone, mobility and flexibility through a balanced, accessible and engaging Reformer experience.
Tone their body, improve their flexibility and feel fitter through a comprehensive and progressive workout.
Power
The most intense programme, designed to deliver a challenging, physical Reformer experience focused on strength, endurance and body reshaping.
A more intense workout, improve their strength, increase their endurance and work towards greater muscle definition.

Value
Where method becomes experience
When there is continuity, every part of the studio grows in harmony: those who train enjoy a clearer, more immersive experience, those who teach find support and can dedicate more attention to people, and those who lead the studio build value over time.
Book a call
FOR THOSE WHO TRAIN
A clearer, more engaging and immersive Reformer experience, with visual support accompanying the class and greater attention from the trainer.
FOR INSTRUCTORS
Structured programmes, materials and visual content supporting the class, so less attention goes to managing the sequence and more time to observation, corrections and client care.
FOR STUDIO OWNERS
A more recognisable and scalable offering, capable of increasing class consistency and the satisfaction of both clients and the team.
What's included in the system
What you get. Everything.
Reformer Signature wasn't created simply to produce lessons to be replicated. It was created to shape a recognisable, guided and consistent Reformer experience, even when the class is led by different instructors.
Operating method
Class management protocol, cueing, progressions and regressions for each exercise. Your instructor isn't making things up — they're following a system that's been tried and tested across thousands of classes.
Instructor training
Comprehensive onboarding included in the system and enablement to deliver the Reformer Signature method within the member facility. If an instructor leaves the team, you can train a new resource using the same protocol: the service doesn't depend on the individual, it depends on the system.
Releases every 2 months
Programmes are updated regularly. Your clients get new content, the instructor stays motivated, and you don't have to do a thing — it arrives automatically.
Immersive in-studio experience
Each release can be accompanied by dedicated visual content, designed to be projected on a big screen during the class. The screen supports sequence, rhythm and transitions, while the trainer remains at the centre of the teaching and can focus more on observation, corrections and the relationship with clients.
Management platform
Access to the Reformer Signature platform for your team. Materials, instructional videos, updates. All in one place.
Ongoing operational support
It doesn't stop once the contract is signed. Direct support for operational issues, the launch, communication with members and managing the first few weeks.
