Description
The Merrithew SPX Max Reformer with Vertical Stand and High Precision Gearbar Bundle (Onyx) pairs Merrithew’s studio-grade SPX Max Reformer in a sleek, all-black Onyx finish with two upgrades that make it ideal for smaller studios and multipurpose rooms: a Vertical Stand for space-saving upright storage and a High Precision Gearbar for finer, faster resistance changes.
From the patented rolling carriage on C-channel aluminum rails to the High Precision 5-spring package and patented Retractable Rope System, every detail is built for smooth, fluid, continuous studio use. When a session ends, the Vertical Stand lets you stand the Reformer upright to free up floor space, so the same room can serve more than one purpose and earn more.
This bundle is a CE Marked Class I Medical Device under the European Medical Device Regulation (EU) 2017/745 (MDR), which allows it to be used formally in hospitals and healthcare settings across most of Europe. It also includes 60-day access to digital workouts on Merrithew Connect.
Who is it built for and when it makes sense
- Smaller studios and multipurpose spaces that need to store the Reformer upright between sessions and reclaim floor space.
- Instructors who want finer resistance control — the High Precision Gearbar gives more gearbar positions for quicker, more precise tension changes than the standard gearbar.
- Buyers who want a striking all-black aesthetic in a true commercial-grade Reformer with room to grow into Cadillac functionality later.
When it’s not the right fit
- If you don’t need vertical storage, the standard SPX Max Reformer bundle (without the Vertical Stand) may suit you for less.
- If you have very limited ceiling height. You need about 100.5 in (2.55 m) to store it upright, and 97.5 in (2.48 m) for standing platform exercises (based on a 5’8" user).
- If you want the longer carriage and extra-high entry of the larger V2 Max, this is the more compact SPX Max platform.

Space requirements
The Reformer measures approximately 99.5 in x 26 in (252.7 cm x 66 cm). You also need clear space around it to move freely during exercises. As a practical guide, plan for a room that offers:
- Length: Allow extra room beyond each end of the frame for arm and leg extensions, the box, and the platform extender.
- Width: Leave room on both sides of the frame for lateral movements and to get on and off safely.
- Ceiling height: At least 97.5 in (2.48 m) for standing platform exercises, and 100.5 in (2.55 m) to store the Reformer upright on the Vertical Stand.
Assembly
- Minimal assembly required.
- Built-in easy-roll wheels let you reposition it once set up.
- An Owner’s manual is included for setup, proper use, and maintenance.
For assembly help, see our Assembly & Installation page for support options, including professional installation service.
Moving and storage
- The included Vertical Stand lets you store the Reformer upright to save floor space.
- Easy-roll wheels on both ends make it simple to move and reposition.
- Shoulder rests slide into brackets and reinforced pulleybars detach (without disengaging the ropes) for tidy stacking and storage.
- It is upgradeable with an SPX Max Plus Vertical Frame and Mat Converter for Cadillac functionality.
