Wunda Chair with Adjustable Springs
Wunda Chair With Adjustable Springs: One Chair, Every Level
A wunda chair with adjustable springs lets you change the resistance as you progress, so one chair can suit a first session at home or a full day of studio clients. We're Australian owned and operated, and we'll help you choose, try, finance and install the right one. Proper form and qualified instruction matter on any apparatus.
How do adjustable springs on a wunda chair work?
Spring tension sets the difficulty
Adjustable springs change how much resistance the pedal pushes back with. A heavier spring makes each movement harder to control, and a lighter one makes it easier, so the same wunda chair can suit a beginner today and a stronger user later on.
That matters when you buy. You are choosing a chair that can progress with the person using it, not one locked to a single level.
Three resistance levels, clearly colour coded
Replacement springs come in three levels, and the colour tells you which is which:
- Red: full resistance, the hardest setting.
- Green: half resistance, a medium setting.
- Yellow: quarter resistance, the softest setting.
Each spring has a 37cm body and measures 46cm with its fastening rings. Replacements are $79 each.

Changing springs after assembly
Spring tension can typically be changed once the chair is assembled, so you don't need to take the frame apart to adjust resistance. Most apparatus arrives partially assembled, with final steps like attaching springs and straps left to do.
Start with a lighter spring while you learn the movements, then adjust as your control improves. Qualified instruction matters just as much as the setting.

Motion Pilates Wunda Chair: Springs, Handles and Pedals
The Motion Pilates Wunda Chair pairs adjustable spring resistance with removable handles and flexible pedals, so one chair can grow with the person using it.
The handles adjust across a 115cm to 145cm height range using a twist-and-pull knob. The pedals can be joined or separated with the included wooden locking bar, which suits both whole-body and one-sided movements.
It sits alongside Pioneer Pilates chairs, reformers, barrels and trapeze tables in our range, all built for home or studio use. We suggest learning each exercise with a qualified instructor.
Who benefits from adjustable spring resistance
Almost everyone who trains on a wunda chair gets something from changing the spring settings, because the same chair can be made easier or harder.
- Beginners: lighter settings give you room to learn the movements and build confidence before you add resistance.
- Advanced practitioners: heavier settings and multiple spring attachments let you keep progressing without buying a second chair.
- People returning from injury: adjustable springs let the intensity be matched to each stage of recovery, but the chair is deliberately unstable and may not suit every situation. Please get clearance from your physiotherapist or doctor first.
- Home users: one compact chair, with a footprint of about 60cm x 60cm, can suit the whole household as abilities differ.
- Studio owners: one model serves clients at different levels, and you can see how it feels at our Sydney showroom before you decide.
What to check before you buy a wunda chair
Build quality and weight capacity
A good wunda chair starts with a sturdy frame, so look for steel construction, a clearly stated weight capacity and non-slip feet. Reinforced frames matter particularly if more than one person will use the chair, as they do in a studio.
Pedals should move smoothly through their full range. A split pedal design is worth considering if you want to work each side independently for asymmetrical exercises.
Space and price range
Home-suitable chairs have a compact footprint of about 60cm x 60cm, but measure your space first, leaving room to move around the chair. Entry-level models start at AUD 800, and professional-grade chairs go up to AUD 1500.
Check the springs too. Replacement Pilates springs are $79 each, so it helps to know what a chair uses before you commit.
Another option to compare
The Pioneer Pilates Wunda Chair is worth a look. It has a split pedal combo, removable handles and a hand-sanded beechwood frame upholstered over EVA foam padding, and suits both home and commercial use.
Wunda chair spring questions
Which spring setting should a beginner start with?
Start with a lighter spring and build up as your control improves. A qualified instructor can help you choose a setting and check your form.
Can I change the springs after the chair is assembled?
Yes. Spring tension can typically be changed after assembly, so the frame doesn't need to come apart. Replacement springs are $79 each in red, green and yellow, as listed on our springs page.
Will a wunda chair fit in my home, and do you install it?
Many chairs have a footprint of about 60cm x 60cm, but measure your space first and leave room to move around it. We offer delivery and installation support, and you can try chairs at our Sydney showroom before you decide.
Can I rent-to-own a wunda chair?
We offer rent-to-own and payment plan options for home and studio buyers. Contact our team and we'll walk you through how they work for the chair you're considering.
Is a wunda chair suitable for rehabilitation?
Adjustable springs let you vary the intensity, but the chair's instability may not suit every situation. If you're injured or recovering, get clearance from your physiotherapist or doctor first, and train with qualified instruction.
