PRESS RELEASE

Fold launches Tower

16 Apr 2026
Tower by Fold / Fold

Fold, the innovative Pilates brand, today unveils Tower, a major step in continuing to build on the Pilates ecosystem following the boom in reformer pilates. Tower is a Pilates Tower designed exclusively to attach to a foldable reformer bed to allow users to practice tower pilates at home and in their studio.

This is Fold's boldest move since the award-winning Original Fold Reformer with Easi-Fold system shook up the industry with its innovative design. Stepping away from the hero product to continue building out the repertoire, Tower isn't just an add-on, it's a statement. This is a first of its kind design offering full tower Pilates functionality, the kind you'd only find in premium studios, available for home and in studio use.

Tom McClelland, co-founder of Fold, said: “From the beginning, our focus has been on rethinking how Pilates equipment fits into homes and studio spaces, without compromising on the quality of the experience. Tower is a natural progression of that. We knew that if we were going to introduce a tower, it had to be purpose built for a foldable reformer, not adapted as an afterthought. The result is something that feels seamless, it expands what you can do, while still respecting space, design and how people actually use their environment, whether that’s at home or in a studio.”

What is tower Pilates?

Tower Pilates is resistance-based training at its finest, giving you a slow, controlled workout. Great for isolating muscles for deep targeted strength and identifying imbalances through the use of spring tension.

Built Different

Engineering a Tower that works seamlessly with both versions of Fold’s foldable reformer beds took serious innovation and time. Fold's team extensively tested and stress-tested Tower to ensure it performs flawlessly on both the Original Fold Reformer (V1 & V2).

The result? The ability to have a true 3-in-1 training system: mat, reformer, tower. All easy to use. All beautifully designed.

What you're getting:

● A Pilates Tower designed exclusively for a foldable reformer
● 3-in-1 system: mat- reformer - tower
● Extensively tested for safe use on a foldable bed
● Works in homes and studios
● Built-in wheels for easy movement
● Dimensions: 177 (L) × 58 (W) cm

"There is a common misoconception that tower pilates is a more advanced version of the mat or the reformer. This isn’t true, it's a complementary sidestep within the Pilates, and now Fold's ecosystem," Matt Harras, co-founder of Fold adds. "As a forward-thinking, innovative Pilates brand, it makes sense for us to create products that fit into your home and your life. We'll continue to support our community with classes and education through our app and instructors."


Fold’s Tower will be at an exclusive, invite only launch event in London in mid-May and will include tower pilates classes, a unique location, drinks, and curated gift bags. An exclusive chance to be among the first to test the product.

Testimonial
"I had limited space and was drawn to the high quality of the beds whilst still being able to fold them away so I had a multifunctional space. I also liked that I was getting in at the start of something new."
