Balanced Body® today announced the launch of the Allegro Nextgen Reformer™, marking the 25th anniversary of the original Allegro® Reformer, which has become the gold standard in Pilates studios worldwide.

Since its introduction in 2000, the Allegro Reformer was quickly established as best-in-class for performance, durability, and accessibility, and more than 40,000 are in use across the world today. Now, Balanced Body has revamped the Allegro Reformer to meet the evolving needs of Pilates educators, practitioners, and users as the industry continues to experience explosive growth and interest.

"For years, we've referred to the Allegro Reformer as our 'workhorse,' and its high performance, low maintenance, affordable, and versatile attributes have made it an all-around crowd pleaser," said Ken Endelman, Founder and CEO, Balanced Body. "The Allegro Nextgen Reformer has the proven performance and durability of the original, and newly-added features – including our Infinity Footbar – to meet the progressive Pilates exercise demands of today's users and Group Reformer classes."

Revolutionary Infinity Footbar

The centerpiece of the Allegro Nextgen Reformer is the groundbreaking Infinity Footbar, which dramatically expands exercise possibilities for users while maintaining the rigorous performance standards the Allegro line is known for. The innovative footbar offers 10 horizontal and four vertical positions along the full length of the reformer, enabling a vast array of exercises, progressions, and dynamic athletic reformer work. Working off both ends of the Reformer (head end and foot end) is rapidly becoming highly desired in today’s Group Reformer classes.

Enhanced Design and Performance

The Allegro Nextgen Reformer features several key improvements designed for today's modern studios:

  • Streamlined Design: The footbar's sleek profile with no protrusions makes it easier for instructors to work around when teaching classes and working with clients
  • Simplified Assembly: The new leg design is easier to attach to the Reformer, reducing onsite assembly time
  • Enhanced Stability: Thicker risers provide superior strength and stability for dynamic reformer work
  • Contemporary Aesthetics: Updated design complements modern studio environments
