Foldable Pilates Reformer with Sitting Box Included
A full reformer setup that folds away when the session ends. Our foldable reformers come with a sitting box and jump board, so you can start Pilates at home without giving up a spare room. Start with the PP-06 package from an Australian owned and operated team, then buy it, rent it, or try one at our Sydney showroom first.
Why a sitting box belongs with a compact reformer
Genuine apparatus, not an add-on
A sitting box is a signature piece of Pilates equipment, and many classical sequences rely on it, particularly the short box series. That is why we treat it as part of the setup rather than an optional extra. On a compact foldable machine it matters even more, because the pilates box gives you a stable, elevated seat on or beside the carriage and opens up far more movement options without adding another large piece of equipment.
What you can do with it
- Seated rowing on the carriage
- Spine twists
- The short box abdominal series
- Kneeling and standing work, using the box as a platform

Start with how you'll actually use it, then pick the reformer that fits your space. A sitting box widens what you can do on a compact machine.

Learn it properly
Box work asks for good alignment and control, so proper form and qualified instruction matter. If you are returning from an injury, check with your physiotherapist or doctor before adding these exercises.
What comes with the PP-06 foldable reformer package
The PP-06 foldable reformer package includes the Pioneer Pilates Reformer, a jump board and a sitting box, so you can set up a full session without sourcing extras.
The aluminium frame folds down so you can store it between sessions. In use, the 7-position foot bar and legs adjustable from 26cm to 36cm let you set the carriage height to suit you.
The sitting box sits on or beside the carriage for seated work. As with any reformer, we suggest learning the basics with a qualified instructor.

Which sitting box size suits a foldable reformer?
Start with the small box
For the foldable range, we recommend the small sitting box. It suits compact storage, seated work and shorter torso lengths, which is why it pairs so well with a foldable Pilates reformer in a home setup.

Large boxes offer more surface and height, so they suit taller users or kneeling and standing series. Home users typically only need one size matched to their height.
Padding and finish
The small box uses durable EVA padding that resists deforming over time. It is covered in nautical synthetic leather with a stitched seam, which gives a cleaner finish and extra strength where the box takes the heaviest wear.
Check fit on older or imported reformers
A sitting box sits on or alongside the carriage rather than bolting to the frame, so standard-width reformers will generally take one. Carriage length and foot bar clearance do vary by brand, though. If you own an older or imported machine, measure both before you order.
Common questions about foldable reformers and sitting boxes
Is the sitting box included with the foldable reformer?
Yes. The PP-06 package comes with the Pioneer Pilates Reformer, a jump board and a sitting box. Our PP-06 and PP-07 hire reformers also include one, along with a jump board and ring.
Can I hire before I buy?
Yes. Either foldable model is $39 per week to hire. It is a practical way to check the fit and feel at home first, and you can also try before you buy at our Sydney showroom.
How much space do I need once it is folded?
The PP-06 folds to 138 x 57 x 45cm and the PP-07 to 122 x 64 x 50cm, so both can be stored in a wardrobe, a corner or under a bed. Unfolded, allow for 235cm of length plus room to move around the carriage.
Is a foldable reformer suitable for beginners?
It can be. The 5-spring setup gives a range of resistance levels, but proper form matters, so we recommend learning with a qualified instructor. If you are returning from injury, get clearance from your doctor or physiotherapist before you start.
When should I add a chair or barrel?
Usually later, once your reformer routine is settled. A chair or barrel adds variety and works well alongside your sitting box, but it is rarely the first purchase. We are happy to talk through what suits your space and experience.
Do you deliver and install?
Yes. We offer delivery and installation support, plus aftercare, so you are not left working out the setup alone.
