Pilates Reformer Hire with Option to Buy
Can I hire a Pilates reformer and buy it later?
Yes. You can hire a reformer from Pilates Direct from $39 per week to try at home or in your studio. There is no formal hire-to-own contract, but if you decide to keep going, our 0% interest payment plan covers the buying step. We are Australian owned and operated.
How does reformer hire work with Pilates Direct?
The terms in plain numbers
Hire runs at $39 per week, with a $300 refundable deposit and a minimum rental period of 12 weeks. Rentals are available year round, and the hire reformer is the Pioneer Pilates PP-07 Wooden Foldable Reformer, a foldable reformer suited to home use.
How the steps run
- Choose the PP-07 rental and pay the deposit.
- Hire it weekly for at least 12 weeks.
- Decide whether reformer Pilates suits you and your space.
- If you want to keep going, buy from the site or ask about a payment plan.
Hire and purchase are separate steps, so nothing locks you in.
Start with how you'll use it day to day. Hiring for a few months shows you whether it fits your routine and your space before you spend more.

Looking after the reformer
While you hire, you are liable for loss, damage or destruction of the reformer or its accessories. Treat it as you would your own, and keep it somewhere dry and clear of pets and children.
As with any equipment, proper form and qualified instruction matter. If you are returning from an injury, check with your physiotherapist or doctor before you begin.
What comes with a hired reformer?
Each hire from Pilates Direct includes the reformer plus the extras below, so you can start a home or studio routine straight away.
- A jump board that attaches to the reformer for added variety in your sessions.
- A Pilates sitting box for seated and supported exercises.
- Five spring options with adjustable components, so you can set the resistance to suit the exercise.
- Two months of free access to the Pilates Project OnDemand App for guided classes at home.
- A foldable reformer suited to home use, available year round at $39 per week. See the PP-07 rental.
Is there a formal hire-to-own contract?
No. Hiring is a way to find out whether reformer Pilates suits you and your space, with no obligation to buy at the end.
If you decide to keep going, you can buy a reformer from the site. Rental fees are not credited towards the purchase price, so treat the hire as a trial and the purchase as a fresh decision.
To make buying easier, selected foldable reformers come with a 0% interest direct debit payment plan. You pay a deposit, then spread the balance across weekly instalments. Whichever reformer you choose, consider a few sessions with a qualified instructor.
What does the payment plan cost?
Both plans are 0% interest, paid by direct debit, with a deposit up front and 39 weekly payments over nine months. You pay no extra charges for spreading the cost.
The PP-06 Foldable Reformer is a $750 deposit, then 39 payments of $42.55, for a total of $2,414.50.
The MP-01 Motion Pilates studio reformer package is a $990 deposit, then 39 payments of $68.57, for a total of $3,664.50.
To set it up, add the reformer to your cart or order by phone and pay the deposit. We then email you a link to finalise the agreement and arrange shipping or store pickup.
Who is hire best suited to, and where is it available?
Reformer hire suits anyone who wants to test reformer Pilates at home before buying. That includes newcomers building a home practice, people in temporary living situations, and anyone who wants to trial a specific model first.
It also suits people returning to movement after an injury, provided you have clearance from your physiotherapist or doctor and keep to qualified instruction.
Hire is available to customers in Sydney and a 150km radius, including Wollongong, Newcastle and the Central Coast. Pickup from our Castle Hill store is free.
If you are outside that area, hire is not available, but you can still buy with nationwide delivery.
