My husband is a cabinetmaker; and he wants to construct a pilates reformer for me. I’m not well and can’t leave the house to exercise. Any information would be most appreciated.
I think you would be much better off buying one. Pilates Reformers are finely tuned pieces of equipment … it would be like trying to build a street racing bicycle.
Even cheap reformers can be very dangerous to use, it’s worth it to invest in a top quality piece of equipment AND hire a trained Pilates instructor to work with you on it.
Since Pilates has gotten so popular, the rate of Pilates injuries has gone way up … it is very important to do the exercises correctly … especially if you have health problems. Be careful!

I love Pilates and this is a site I refer to often. If u have an old bunk bed use the ladder portion of it and attach to an old desk, maybe garage sale will help find these odds and ins. My aunt used her bed frame to construct a reformer by attaching poles to all fours and adding the pilates ropes and for the bench portion just got an old gymnastics mat and made the seat. U could be very creative also check out this site I ran across for ideas on what u may want your reformer to look at
