Key takeaways
- Plan about 6–7 m² per reformer including walkways.
- Leave about 60–90 cm between machines and a clear aisle at the foot end.
- Allow at least about 2.4 m ceiling height for towers, 3-in-1s and Cadillacs.
- Request a floor layout with your equipment quote.
The rule of thumb
A reformer frame is roughly 2.3–2.5 m long and 0.6–0.75 m wide. With space to step around it and a walkway, that works out to about 6–7 m² per reformer in a group room. Instructors also need a clear line of sight to every machine.
Room size planner
| Floor area | Group reformers | Private equipment | Typical shipment |
|---|---|---|---|
| 40–60 m² | 4–5 | 1 chair | LCL |
| 60–90 m² | 6–8 | 1 tower reformer, 1 chair | LCL or 20GP |
| 90–140 m² | 8–12 | 1 Cadillac, 1 chair, 1 barrel | 20GP |
| 140–200 m² | 12–20 | 2 towers, Cadillac, chairs, barrels | 40HQ |
Layout tips
- Run reformers in rows with the footbar towards the instructor.
- Keep towers and Cadillacs against a wall so frames do not block sightlines.
- Store boxes and jump boards on wall racks to keep aisles clear.
- Check floor load and fixing points for wall units.
