What a jump board adds to a reformer bed
A standing platform for low-impact jumping
A jump board is an attachment that turns your reformer bed into a mini trampoline. You lie on the carriage, press against the board and jump against spring resistance, which opens up plyometric, cardio-style work alongside your usual Pilates sequences.
Because you stay supported on the carriage, the movement is low-impact rather than the jarring landings of floor-based jumping.
What the jump board brings to your session
- Heart rate: jumping sequences raise your heart rate and engage several muscle groups at once.
- Leg strength: repeated pushing and soft landings work the legs against spring tension.
- Coordination: timing the jump, the carriage and your breath builds body control.
- Joint-friendly movement: the supported, low-impact setup suits many people with joint issues.
If you have an injury or a medical condition, check with your physiotherapist or doctor before adding jumping to your routine.
Start with how you'll actually use it. If cardio is part of the plan, a jump board is worth having included from day one.

How do you use a jump board safely?
Start lying on your back on the carriage with both feet flat on the jump board, then begin with small, gentle jumps and land softly. Keep your knees and hips aligned, and let each landing be quiet and controlled. Slow, light jumps come before speed.
Once that feels steady, build the intensity gradually. Increase your pace, then try single-leg jumps or lateral movements, which add coordination and balance work. Take any progression one step at a time and stop if something feels off.
On a reformer bed like the MP-01, the jump board sits alongside the standing platform and sitting box. Good form and qualified instruction matter, so learn the basics with a trained Pilates instructor. If you're recovering from an injury, check with your physiotherapist or doctor first.
Reformer packages that include a jump board
Three models in our range come with a jump board. Inclusion varies by model, so check the product page for exactly what's in the package.
- MP-01 Wood Reformer: a Canadian maple frame with black upholstery, bundled with a large sitting box, jumpboard, padded standing platform, footstrap, ropes and handstraps. Stopper holes along the rail let you extend or limit the carriage range.
- Pioneer PP-06 foldable reformer: includes a jump board and sitting box, a 7-position foot bar and adjustable legs that set the carriage 26cm to 36cm off the floor. Folding it away suits a home with limited space.
- Pioneer PP-03 Studio Reformer: comes with a jump board and padded standing platform, and is built for studio-style use.
- Check the extras: some packages, including certain used or ex-demo stock, include the jump board but charge separately for the sitting box. If your model doesn't include one, a dedicated jumpboard may be available as an add-on for compatible reformers.
What to check before you buy
Match the accessories to how you'll train
Before you compare frames, confirm what the package includes. Beyond the jump board, look at the sitting box, tower attachment options, and exercise straps and handles. Some packages bundle these and others sell them separately, which changes the total cost.
Measure your space against the model
A standard reformer bed runs 230-250cm long and 65-70cm wide, and sits 40-45cm high. Allow extra room around it for getting on and off, and for storing the jump board and box. If floor space is tight, a foldable reformer is worth a look, such as the PP-06 with its adjustable carriage height.
Look for these quality markers
- A commercial-grade aluminium or steel frame, or a solid timber build such as the MP-01's Canadian Maplewood frame
- Reinforced welding at stress points on metal frames
- Non-slip rubber feet and sealed-bearing wheels
- At least 4-5 spring settings with quick-release adjustment
- A smooth, stable carriage ride, with stopper holes to limit range of motion if needed
Common questions about reformers with jump boards
Does a jump board fit every reformer?
No. Jump board inclusion varies by model, so check each product page. The MP-01 Wood Reformer package bundles one, as does the Pioneer PP-06 foldable reformer. Some packages sell the sitting box separately, so confirm what is in the box before you order.
How much space and ceiling height do I need at home?
A standard reformer is 230-250cm long, 65-70cm wide and 40-45cm high, so measure the exact model you like and leave room to step on and off. Allow overhead clearance for any tower attachment. The PP-06 folds away, which helps in smaller rooms.
Is it suitable for beginners or different fitness levels?
Yes. You control the spring settings and the pace, starting with gentle jumps and soft landings before adding speed. We recommend learning with a qualified Pilates instructor.
Can I use one during injury rehabilitation?
Only with clearance from your doctor or physiotherapist. We can't make treatment claims, and your practitioner should advise whether jump board work suits your situation and how to modify it.
How does rent-to-own work?
You rent the equipment and put that towards owning it, and payment plans spread the cost over time. We'll confirm current terms on the product page or when you ask, so you only see what is available now.
What do delivery and installation involve?
We deliver Australia-wide and can set the reformer up for you, then stay in touch for aftercare. You can also try models at our Sydney showroom before you buy.
