FAQ
Why doesn't the Footbar budge?
The footbar uses a locking system, which needs to be pulled forward to unlock. Once pulled forward, it should move easily into the desired position. This feature is designed to keep the footbar stable during use.
Why do I only have one footstrap?
No need to panic, the one foot strap is all you need to complete your workouts. Simply follow the video instructions and attach to the end of your bed.
The springs won't reach the carriage?
For transport, the carriage is placed upside down on the bed. This is why the springs initially may not reach as expected.
After moving the footbar into place, simply flip the carriage, and you’ll be able to connect the springs.
What should I use to keep the upholstery clean?
Spray a natural diluted soap onto a cloth and wipe your beds daily. It’s not only hygienic but will keep your studio looking tidy. Bleaches, oils and alcohol-based cleaners can damage your upholstery and void your warranty.
A SIMPLE GUIDE TO LOOKING AFTER YOUR FOLD REFORMER
To keep your reformer in tip-top condition, regular maintenance is key. A little care goes a long way for a smooth experience that lasts years for your clients and instructors.
CHECK FIXTURES AND FITTINGS
Check for loose screws and fittings monthly and give them a tighten if needed. It’s quite normal for them to come loose but if you notice a screw that’s more loose than normal, thread lock solution will keep it in place.
POLISH THE WOOD
Once a month, use a beeswax polish to maintain the natural finish of the wood. Apply a small amount on a polishing cloth and work into the wood for protection and a little freshen up.
CLEAN THE UPHOLSTERY
Spray a natural diluted soap onto a cloth and wipe your beds daily. It’s not only hygienic but will keep your studio looking tidy. Bleaches, oils and alcohol-based cleaners can damage your upholstery and void your warranty.
OIL YOUR SPRINGS
Apply a small amount of WD-40 to a cloth and wipe along the length of each spring every week. This stops wear and keeps your springs moving smoothly and quietly.
