California, United States - 25 August, 2025 - The Core Collab, a boutique fitness brand with studios in both the United States and Australia, is reshaping the conversation around high-intensity Pilates with its latest innovation: the Sculptformer. Designed to rival the Megaformer and other elite training machines, the Sculptformer delivers the same strength-focused, low-impact experience, without the franchise-level price tag.

Bringing Megaformer-Style Training to More Studios

Anyone familiar with the world of high-intensity Pilates has likely heard of the Lagree Megaformer. Known for its slow tempo, high tension, and full-body strength sequences, the Megaformer has become a go-to machine in luxury fitness spaces. But with a price tag that often exceeds $10,000, many studio owners and trainers have been priced out.

That is where The Core Collab saw an opportunity. With over 20 years of experience running Pilates studios and designing functional spaces, the team created the Sculptformer to match the performance of machines like the Megaformer and Xformer, at a fraction of the cost.

“Each Pilates machine we produce is constructed using premium materials, ensuring a robust and stable structure that withstands the rigors of regular use. Whether you’re setting up a home studio or outfitting a commercial Pilates studio, our Pilates machines deliver the reliability and longevity you need.”

A Machine Built for Strength, Sweat, and Studio Flow

Unlike traditional Pilates reformers, which are often designed for alignment, mobility, and rehab, the Sculptformer leans into strength and conditioning. Inspired by the Lagree method, the Sculptformer supports slow, tension-driven movement across a wide platform.

Key features include:

• Smooth Glide Technology for seamless transitions between moves

• High-Tension Resistance System designed to match tempo-based training

• Wide Carriage and Foot Bar for better stability and client comfort

• Studio-Grade Durability is built to withstand daily commercial use

The machine allows instructors to program full-body routines that hit core, legs, arms, and back, all with joint-safe resistance and minimal impact.

For those familiar with the Megaformer, the feel will be instantly recognisable. The carriage settings, glide, and muscular load mimic the experience of a Lagree-style class, without the same brand restrictions or licensing requirements.

A Smart Choice for New Studios and Independent Trainers

The rise of boutique fitness has created more demand for versatile equipment. But not every studio has the budget to buy five or six Megaformers or Xformers. That is where the Sculptformer stands out.

On average, it is €2,000 to €2,500 cheaper per unit than its better-known counterparts. That makes it a viable option for independent instructors, small group studios, and entrepreneurs building new fitness spaces.

“Created by industry veterans, the Sculptformer was engineered with both users and studio owners in mind,” explains The Core Collab on their website.

The Sculptformer is not affiliated with Lagree Fitness, but it enables instructors to deliver the same class structure: slow lunges, compound holds, planks, and resistance-based flow. For those trained in Lagree-style movement but operating independently, it offers a more flexible solution.

The boutique fitness industry has seen significant growth in recent years, with more trainers choosing to open small, independent studios.

Now Available in the US and Australia

The Sculptformer is now available for commercial and home use through The Core Collab’s two websites:

• https://thecorecollabusa.com/ for customers in the United States

• https://thecorecollab.com.au/ for customers in Australia

Both sites provide specs, delivery options, and expert advice for studio owners. The machines are ready for shipping and can be purchased without long waitlists or franchise commitments.

Making High-Performance Pilates More Accessible

The Sculptformer represents a shift in how boutique fitness equipment is being developed. Rather than requiring instructors to license a brand or lock into a system, The Core Collab focuses on functional design that supports autonomy.

Trainers can build their own brand, design their own class formats, and serve clients with a machine that meets industry standards, while still delivering the benefits of pilates training on the body and mind.

“The Sculptformer was created by The Core Collab to offer a license‑free, instructor‑designed alternative to Megaformer‑style machines,” the team states.

With interest growing in both the US and Australia, the Sculptformer could soon become the go-to alternative for strength-based Pilates training.
