FAQ
What is the difference between this bundle and the SPX Max Reformer with Vertical Stand (without the High Precision Gearbar)?
The High Precision Gearbar (HPGB) adds a more refined tension adjustment system with three gearbar slot positions, allowing instructors to fine-tune resistance with greater accuracy and repeatability. It's especially useful in professional or clinical settings where consistent, precise setups are important when working with multiple clients or patients.
What ceiling height do I need to use this Reformer with the Vertical Stand?
You'll need a minimum ceiling height of 100.5 inches (approximately 2.55 m) to store the Reformer in a vertical standing position. For performing standing exercises on the platform with arms raised overhead, the minimum recommended ceiling height is 97.5 inches (2.48 m), based on a 5'8" person.
Is this Reformer suitable for use in a physical therapy or clinical setting?
Yes. The SPX Max Reformer with Vertical Stand is CE Marked as a Class I Medical Device in accordance with EU Medical Device Regulation (EU) 2017/745, certifying it for formal use in hospitals and healthcare environments across most of Europe. It is built to handle continuous, high-intensity use in professional settings.
Can I add accessories or upgrade this Reformer later?
Absolutely. The SPX Max Reformer is designed with upgradability in mind. You can add an SPX Max Plus Vertical Frame and Mat Converter for Cadillac-style functionality, or attach accessories like the Cardio-Tramp Rebounder, Jumpboard, Vinyasa Triangle, and more. Its enhanced springs are specifically built to handle the demands of these accessories.
What upholstery colors are available?
Multiple upholstery color options are available and can be selected at checkout. Because screen colors may not accurately represent the actual finish, Merrithew recommends requesting a swatch chart to view color options in person before ordering. A custom color is also available for an additional fee.
