The NordicTrack Ultra Reformer Series marks one of the most exciting expansions of the iFIT ecosystem to date. For current NordicTrack community members, this launch brings the precision, control, and deep strength of studio Pilates directly into your home training. Two models lead the series: the Ultra 1 Reform RX-S and the Ultra 1 Reformer. Both offer a connected Pilates experience designed to support your mobility, stability, and long-term performance inside a familiar, data-backed iFIT environment.

A Connected Pilates Experience Designed for You

If you already train with NordicTrack, you know the power of guided, adaptive workouts. The Ultra Reformer Series continues that experience with a 24-inch HD touchscreen that connects you to reformer-based Pilates workouts, instructor-led sessions, and post-workout insights.

Both models use the Smart Spine enclosed resistance design, which provides a clean, refined look and helps reduce pinch points commonly found in exposed-spring reformers. The smooth, quiet rail system supports steady movement, and the push-button resistance adjustments allow you to stay focused on form and alignment without having to hook and unhook springs.

Movement feels fluid and intentional. Transitions feel intuitive. Coaching becomes a clear, real-time guide for every rep. Pilates strengthens deep stabilizing muscles that support overall movement control and improve performance across running, cycling, rowing, and strength training¹.

Two Models Built for Different Training Environments

This is where choosing the right reformer becomes truly exciting. The Ultra Reformer Series includes two models built for distinct training styles and home environments. Both deliver the same foundational iFIT Pilates experience, yet each offers a specific blend of durability, resistance, and aesthetic design to match your goals.

Ultra 1 Reform RX-S

The NordicTrack Ultra 1 Reform RX-S connected Pilates reformer with reinforced frame and high-resistance range, engineered for studio-quality performance at home.

For advanced Pilates practitioners, athletes, dancers, and those who want a studio-grade feel at home.

With design inspired by luxury race cars, the RX-S model reflects the durability and performance typically found in boutique studios and high-end fitness centers. It offers more resistance, a reinforced frame, and a design created for athletes of all abilities who push themselves with high-frequency training.

  • Smart Spine™ enclosed spring system

  • Reinforced frame engineered for performance environments

  • Four push-button resistance controls

  • Seven footbar positions with travel down the spine

  • High-resistance range for athletic conditioning

  • Silver and black studio-inspired finish

Choose the RX-S if you want a high-performance training surface, higher resistance options, and a studio-style experience inside your home. Pre-orders for the RX-S begin in December 2025.

Ultra 1 Reformer

The NordicTrack Ultra 1 Reformer featuring a 24-inch HD touchscreen and Smart Spine™ enclosed resistance system, designed for connected Pilates training in a modern home environment.

For Pilates enthusiasts at home who want to elevate their practice with a compact, interior-friendly design.

The Ultra 1 Reformer offers a more space-efficient footprint while maintaining NordicTrack’s premium engineering and smooth glide performance. Its warm finishes integrate naturally into modern home environments, creating a dedicated wellness space that feels inviting and clean.

  • Compact design for versatile placement in the home

  • Smart Spine™ enclosed system 

  • Three push-button resistance options

  • Four footbar positions anchored to the front

  • Smooth, steady carriage glide engineered for daily practice

  • Maple or Walnut finishes designed to complement home interiors

Choose the Ultra 1 if you want a smaller footprint, accessible resistance levels, and a beautifully integrated Pilates experience that fits seamlessly into your space. It will be available in Spring 2026, with pre-order details announced closer to launch.

A New Way to Experience iFIT Pilates

The launch of the Ultra Reformer Series arrives alongside the expansion of iFIT’s Pilates library. iFit’s athletes on the app will have access to more than 75 reformer-based classes at launch and over 200 mat Pilates workouts.

If you have already trained with Jeni DelPozo, especially in her new Pilates Tone and Power Series, you have a strong foundation for progressing onto the Ultra Reformer. Her approach to core alignment and controlled movement transitions naturally into reformer-based work.

iFIT Pilates content includes:

  • Studio-style reformer sequences

  • Athletic conditioning sessions

  • Mobility and flexibility-based flows

  • Step-by-step fundamentals for beginners

  • Beginner, intermediate, and advanced paths to help you grow

The content lineup continues to expand, offering structured progression whether you are brand-new to Pilates or looking to advance your practice.
