Merrithew™ Pilates V2 Max™ Reformer Machine

Description

The Merrithew™ V2 Max™ is chosen by many health and fitness experts and is perfectly suited to boutique studios, clubs, fitness establishments, and private Pilates spaces. This standard-size reformer is adaptable and facilitates smooth transitions between exercises for effective group and individual training sessions.

It's suitable for a wide range of clients, including fitness enthusiasts, athletes, individuals in rehabilitation, and active elderly users.

The V2 Max™ Reformer is designated as a Class I Medical Device under the European Medical Device Regulation (EU) 2017/745 (MDR), and is certified for use in hospitals and healthcare environments across most of Europe.

Who is it built for and when it makes sense

• Boutique studios, clubs, and fitness establishments that need an adaptable reformer suited to both group and individual sessions.

• Rehabilitation clinics and healthcare facilities. The V2® Max™ is a CE Marked Class I Medical Device under EU MDR 2017/745, allowing use in hospitals and healthcare settings throughout much of Europe.

• A wide range of client types: fitness enthusiasts, athletes, rehab clients, and active elderly users.

• Home users who want a standard-size, studio-quality reformer with room to add Cadillac functionality later via the V2 Max Plus™ Vertical Frame.

• Taller users or individuals with longer torsos — optional extension upgrades add 6 in (15 cm) of length for enhanced comfort and range of motion.

When it's not the right fit

• If you need a stackable reformer for space-limited facilities, the SPX® Max is a better fit.

• If you need Cadillac functionality immediately, the Vertical Frame is available as a separate upgrade.

• If you're looking for the lowest-cost entry into Pilates equipment — the V2 Max is designed for durable, studio-grade performance.

Length: At least 10 ft (305 cm). Additional clearance allows for comfortable access and unrestricted exercise movement.

Width: At least 5 ft (152 cm). This provides sufficient room to move safely around both sides of the reformer.

Ceiling height: Standard residential and commercial ceiling heights are generally sufficient. Additional overhead clearance may be required if upgrading to the V2 Max Plus™ Vertical Frame.

Who it fits (height)

The V2® Max™ Reformer accommodates a wide range of users thanks to its adjustable footbar, headrest, carriage settings, and optional extension upgrade.

• Suitable for most users from approximately 5'0" (152 cm) to 6'4" (193 cm).

• Particularly well suited for taller users when equipped with the optional 6 in (15 cm) extension upgrade.

• Adjustable settings allow instructors and users to customize the machine for different body proportions and exercise requirements.

• Suitable for fitness enthusiasts, athletes, rehabilitation clients, and active elderly users.
