Balanced Body Allegro 2 Reformer
Product Name: Balanced Body Allegro 2 Reformer
Meta Title: Balanced Body Allegro 2 Reformer | Reformer Registry
Meta Description: Carbon fiber footbar, whisper-quiet carriage, and a powder-coated aluminum frame that stores upright. The Allegro 2 is the modern studio standard from Balanced Body.
Product Description:
The Allegro 2 is the reformer that shows up on more studio wish lists than probably any other machine in the Balanced Body lineup — and it earns that spot. It takes the legacy of the original Allegro, wraps it in a modern powder-coated aluminum frame, and adds the kind of adjustability and refinement that makes it equally at home in a high-volume group studio, a private session room, or a dedicated home space.
The defining feature is the footbar. You get two options — a carbon fiber Infinity Footbar that's light, quiet, and absorbs impact at just 10 lbs, or a standard steel Infinity Footbar that's heavier and more rigid at 16.25 lbs. Both slide horizontally across the full length of the frame to nine positions and adjust vertically to four positions including flat. That range of travel means you can set the footbar precisely for any body type, any exercise, and any programming style without compromise. Both come with a textured grip cover for secure hand and foot positioning and soft padding for comfort during extended use.
The carriage rides on Balanced Body's precision system — smooth, quiet, and consistent enough that you forget it's there. The SoftTouch rope and padded double loop kit adjusts via a lever that's quick, quiet, and doesn't interrupt the session flow. Five Signature Springs with exclusive spring collars — three red, one blue, one yellow — cover the resistance range for everything from gentle rehab to athletic conditioning.
The frame is low-profile by default with the option to add height via a leg kit. Built-in maple standing platform accepts an optional padded jumpboard. Ergonomic risers and shoulder rests remove easily for storage or to clear the carriage surface. Three-position headrest with a seamless integrated carriage surface keeps things clean and comfortable.
Where the Allegro 2 really shines is its upgrade path. Start with the base reformer, then add a sitting box, jumpboard, footstrap, extended head end platform, plank bars, platform extender, or a full tower and mat retrofit kit — all without expanding the footprint. The machine grows with your programming and your budget. For studio owners, that means you can phase your equipment investment. For home users, it means you're not locked into what you buy on day one.
Stores upright with the optional wheel kit and wall security strap — a real advantage for home studios and multi-use spaces. Easy to move and reposition.
CE-approved medical device. 10-year warranty. At 155 lbs with legs, it's substantial enough to stay planted during dynamic work and still manageable for a two-person move.
Dimensions (with legs): 94" L × 25" W × 15" H (31.25" W with footbar) | Carriage: 39.25" L × 23.75" W | Weight: 155 lbs with legs, 148 lbs without
