Pilates Studio & Home Gym Design
Design services by Reformly
Design help for your home gym or studio, from first idea to fit-out
Our designers are university-qualified with a Bachelor of Design. That means we can help with much more than reformers: the layout, the interiors and all the planning that goes into creating a space you'll love using.
Whether you're setting up a home gym or opening a Pilates studio, our step-by-step process makes sure your space is both beautiful and efficient.
Case study · Design concept
Blush & Blonde Elegance
A boutique reformer studio concept by our designers, showing how a brief becomes a finished space, from the first conversation to the final details.
The brief
A calm, luxurious studio that feels more like a day spa than a gym. Soft colour, natural materials, plenty of light, and a lounge where clients can relax before and after class.
The concept
We built the look around blush rose and blonde oak, balanced with warm alabaster walls, polished greige floors and brushed brass details. A custom pink marble feature wall makes the statement, sheer linen drapes soften the light and greenery brings the room to life.
The layout
Reformers run in a single line along the windows for natural light and clear instructor sightlines. The marble wall draws the eye through the room to a towel station, storage and a lounge at the back, so the class space stays open and uncluttered.

The result
A cohesive space where every finish works together, from the oak reformer frames to the brass shelving. The studio feels premium and welcoming, and the layout lets classes run smoothly. You can see the full studio at the top of this page.

Our process
How we work with you
Initial consultation
We start by understanding your vision, goals and space. Whether it's a spare room at home or a new commercial studio, we'll discuss:
- The size and layout of your space
- The look and feel you're after
- Who will use the space and how often
- Key features, like reformers, storage, mirrors, reception or seating
This conversation sets the foundation for everything we create, so the design suits both your style and how you'll use the space. Afterwards, we'll send you a quote for your full setup, including reformers and design.
Custom layout design
Using what we've learned, we create your custom floor plan, carefully positioning:
- Reformers, based on your space and how many you need
- Entry and reception areas for studios
- Seating or lounge areas for a relaxing feel
- Storage zones that keep equipment and props tidy
We focus on making the most of your space, movement between areas and enough room to train comfortably and safely.
Interior concept design
With the floor plan in place, we turn to the aesthetic. Drawing on our design training (Bachelor of Design), we help guide:
- Colour palette to suit your home or brand and create a calm, inviting atmosphere
- Materials for flooring, finishes and walls, such as natural timber and matte textures
- Styling ideas for wall art, mirrors, lighting placement and branding
The result is a cohesive, elevated design that supports both the atmosphere and the function of your space, like the Blush & Blonde concept above.
2D CAD-style drawing
Once your layout and concept are ready, we provide a professionally formatted 2D CAD-style drawing as a PDF, including:
- Clear, detailed plans of your whole layout
- Precise measurements and equipment placement
- Marked zones for reformers, storage and other areas
Share it with your builder, fit-out team or stylist to visualise the space and bring it to life.
Functionality & flow recommendations
We make sure your space works as well as it looks, with advice on:
- How people move through the space
- Spacing between reformers for safety and comfort
- Instructor walkways and sightlines for studios
- Storage placement for a tidy, calm environment
- Lighting, acoustics and airflow
Final adjustments & collaboration
Once you receive your layout and design, we invite your feedback and make any adjustments, whether that's tweaking the layout, adjusting colours or refining storage, until it's exactly what you need.
Bringing your vision to life
With your completed design in hand, you're ready to move forward with your build or fit-out. If you need extra guidance, we can connect you with trusted contractors, builders or stylists.
