What does a Pilates studio setup include?
A complete Pilates studio setup includes planning the reformer layout for your space, choosing the right mix of reformers, towers, chairs and barrels, supplying accessories, delivering and installing every piece, and supporting you after opening with servicing, parts and expansion as your class schedule grows.
Whether you are opening a boutique reformer studio in Jumeirah, adding Pilates to a gym or hotel spa, or equipping a physiotherapy clinic, one specialist team handles the whole process.
Layout planning
We plan how many reformers fit, where the instructor stands and how clients move around the room.
Equipment selection
Reformers, towers, chairs, barrels and props matched to your class formats, clients and budget.
Delivery & installation
Every reformer delivered, assembled, aligned and checked by our technicians before your first class.
Accessories & props
Jumpboards, mat converters, boxes, rings, balls, bands and mats so every class runs smoothly.
Room to grow
Add reformers or apparatus later from the same range, so the studio always matches.
After-sales support
Help with servicing, springs, straps and parts so your reformers stay smooth and safe.
Which equipment does a Pilates studio setup need?
Most reformer studios are built around a row of matching reformers, plus a tower or vertical frame for advanced work, a stability chair, a barrel or spine corrector, and props such as jumpboards, boxes, rings and mats. The right Pilates studio setup depends on your class format and clients.
We supply the full range of Merrithew equipment, home of STOTT PILATES. Browse our Pilates reformers, chairs and barrels and reformer accessories.

How much does a Pilates studio setup cost in Dubai?
Pilates studio equipment in Dubai typically costs about AED 21,000–52,000 per Merrithew reformer, AED 85,000–200,000 for a 2–4 reformer private studio, and AED 200,000–600,000 for a 6–12 reformer boutique studio with apparatus and props. Fit-out, licensing and rent are separate from the equipment budget.
| Pilates studio setup | Typical size | Equipment | Estimated equipment budget (AED) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Home studio | 12–20 sqm | One reformer with accessories, mat and small props | 21,000–55,000 |
| Private studio or clinic | 20–40 sqm | 2–4 reformers, a chair or barrel, props | 85,000–200,000 |
| Boutique reformer studio | 60–120 sqm | 6–12 reformers, tower or vertical frames, chairs, barrels, props | 200,000–600,000 |
| Flagship studio | 120 sqm+ | 12+ premium reformers such as NX3 MAX, full apparatus range | 600,000+ |
Estimates based on 800Sport's current Merrithew prices; your Pilates studio setup quote depends on the models, quantities and accessories you choose. Commercial studios also need the right trade licence and fitness permits; confirm the requirements with Dubai Municipality and your licensing authority.
How much space does a Pilates studio setup need?
Each Merrithew reformer is about 66–74 cm wide and 245–253 cm long. As a planning estimate, allow about 5–6 sqm per reformer including walkways and the instructor's area, so a 6-reformer studio needs roughly 40–50 sqm of training floor, plus reception, storage and changing space.
- Ceiling height: about 2.48–2.51 m for standing exercises, more for towers and vertical frames.
- Spacing: leave room between reformers for clients to step on and off safely and for the instructor to walk around.
- Flooring: a level, durable floor such as vinyl or engineered wood keeps reformers stable.
- Access: check doors, lifts and corridors for delivery of boxed reformers.
Who do we help with Pilates studio equipment?
We equip boutique reformer studios, physiotherapy and rehabilitation clinics, hotels and spas, gyms adding a Pilates room, schools and universities, and private clients building a home studio, in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and across all seven emirates.

How many reformers does a Pilates studio need?
Many boutique studios start with 6 to 12 reformers for group classes, while private studios and clinics often run 2 to 4 for one-to-one and duet sessions. Your space, class format and pricing decide the right number.
Which reformer is best for a commercial studio?
Busy studios usually choose the Merrithew V2 Max for its precise spring tension and durability, or the maple-wood NX3 MAX for a premium, design-led studio. The SPX Max suits smaller studios and home studios.

Yes. A commercial Pilates studio needs a trade licence for fitness activities and the relevant fitness facility permits. Confirm the current requirements with Dubai Municipality and your licensing authority before you sign a lease.
