NordicTrack Pilates Reformer Ultra 1 Reform RX-S

The NordicTrack Ultra 1 Reform RX-S is a compact, studio-grade Pilates Reformer for anyone who wants to train seriously at home or in the studio without the largest footprint. This reformer works with the closed Smart Spine spring system that you set in four levels with a push-button, up to 65 kg resistance, without hooking in loose springs. With the 7-position footbar, two platforms and live force measurement, you get a lot out of your reformer Pilates, from gentle mobility to powerful, controlled series.

NordicTrack Ultra 1 Reform RX-S at a glance

• Smart Spine spring system in 4 levels: the springs are safely enclosed and you switch the resistance with a push-button, without hooking in loose springs.

• Optional 24-inch touchscreen with iFIT: follow 300+ guided workouts from instructors, with a tilting full-color screen.

Smart Spine: safe, controlled resistance

The heart of the Ultra 1 Reform RX-S is the Smart Spine spring system. The springs are fully enclosed, so you never have to hook in loose springs and there are few contact points. You choose your resistance with a push-button across four levels, from 10 kg to a total of 65 kg, and the carriage must be fully docked before you switch. That makes adjusting safe, fast and consistent, whether you do a gentle mobility session or a heavy strength series.

Built for intensive, studio use

The Ultra 1 Reform RX-S is made to commercial standards. The spine is of multiple-anodized aluminum and the carriage glides over stainless steel tracks with an extra smooth, quiet run, even with heavy use. The carriage is finished with antimicrobial Grade 5 vinyl, hygienic and resistant to intensive use in a studio. So you have a compact reformer that handles daily workouts for years.

Versatility in a smaller format

With the sliding footbar in seven positions you adjust the footbar precisely to your exercise, and the two integrated platforms, one at the front and a two-step platform at the back, give you a generous range of motion. The rear platform has two handles for additional exercises. The four handles on the corners of the carriage and the dual-loop straps for hands and feet complete the whole thing, so you train your entire body in a targeted way on a smaller footprint than the larger RX.

Screen, iFIT and live measurements

For guidance and data, you connect the optional 24-inch full-color touchscreen (tilting, with built-in speakers). With it you follow more than 300 guided workouts from experienced instructors via iFIT. The Smart Spine sensors measure your watts, force and speed precisely, and on the screen you see calories, heart rate and power among other things. Via Bluetooth you connect a heart rate strap or headphones. For the guided workouts you need an iFIT membership and an internet connection.

Good to know

The Ultra 1 Reform RX-S is more compact than the RX, but still a substantial, studio-grade machine: assembled it measures about 300 x 70 x 39 cm and it weighs around 102 kg, so count on a fixed spot. The maximum user weight is 170 kg and it is suitable for body heights of about 1.5 to 2.0 m. The 24-inch touchscreen and the iFIT membership are optional; you can also use the reformer without a screen. For the smart functions and the guided workouts, a power connection and internet are required.

Frequently asked questions about the NordicTrack Ultra 1 Reform RX-S

What is reformer Pilates and what is it good for?

Reformer Pilates is a form of Pilates on a reformer, a machine with a sliding carriage and adjustable spring resistance. You train your entire body with it in controlled movements, with plenty of attention to your core, strength, stability, flexibility and posture. Because the movement is smooth and guided, it is low-impact and you can build up the intensity nicely. This way you work in a targeted way on control and body awareness.

How do you set the resistance on the Ultra 1 Reform RX-S?

You set the resistance with a push-button via the closed Smart Spine spring system, spread over four levels of 10, 15, 20 and 20 kg. You combine these up to a maximum of 65 kg, depending on your exercise. You do not have to hook in loose springs; the carriage does have to be fully docked before you switch. This way you adjust the load quickly and safely between exercises.

Who is the NordicTrack Ultra 1 Reform RX-S suitable for?

The Ultra 1 Reform RX-S suits studios and serious home users who want a full-fledged, studio-grade reformer with a smaller footprint. Thanks to the 7-position footbar and the two platforms, you have plenty of freedom of movement and exercise variation. With a maximum user weight of 170 kg and a generous height range, it is widely usable, from beginner to advanced. If you want the largest range of motion and an integrated Pilates chair, take a look at the Ultra 1 Reform RX.

What is the difference from the Ultra 1 Reform RX?

The RX-S is the more compact version: it has a 7-position footbar and two platforms, and at around 300 cm is shorter than the RX. The larger Ultra 1 Reform RX has the Infinity footbar with 8 positions, three platforms and an integrated Pilates chair, for an even larger range of motion. Both share the Smart Spine spring system, the studio-grade construction and the smart measurements. Choose the RX-S if space is important, the RX for maximum variation.

Do I need the screen and iFIT to train?

No, the 24-inch touchscreen and the iFIT membership are optional. You can use the reformer fully without a screen and do your own exercises. The screen and iFIT add guided workouts, instruction and live data for those who want more guidance. For those guided sessions you need an iFIT membership and internet.

How much space does the Ultra 1 Reform RX-S take up?

Assembled, the Ultra 1 Reform RX-S measures about 300 x 70 x 39 cm, so count on an elongated, fixed spot, even though it is more compact than the RX. Keep some free space around it to step on and off safely and to move fully. With a weight of around 102 kg, it stands firmly in its place. Place it on a flat, stable surface.
