Setting up your Original FOLD Reformer for the first time

  • 1. Remove the carriage

    The first thing to do is to remove the carriage from your reformer. You might require an extra pair of hands to help you lift off for the first time.

    Place these components to the side as you'll need these later.

  • 3. Attach the Easi-Fold clips

    Attach the Easi-Fold springs to either side of the clips on the frame

  • 4. Unfold the bed

    Use the bar and handle of the Easi-fold™ System to support with unfolding

  • 5. Place the carriage on the bed

    You might require an additional pair of hands to lift the frame back onto the bed.

  • 6. Attach footbar

    Screw the footbar in with the allen key at either side.

FOLD FAQs

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Spray a natural diluted soap (like this) 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.
