They may lack the same versatility of use, but they sure do make up for it by being able to fold and become a LOT smaller. It is of great benefit to those home gyms that are short on floor space, because when the reformer has its conversion it can be placed under a bed or in ablest if needed. Pro: Folding reformers have a much lighter weight average - 50 to 70 lbs in comparison with the larger, traditional models.

Most are either preassembled or only need a few screws to be installed and can typically be assembled in less than 30 minutes. This convenience is a marked difference compared to some traditional model kits which might take several more hours and require you have far superior building skills. Most fold reformers lean towards quick-release mechanisms and fewer parts but this design not only helps in assembly; they also make disassembly unchallenging - handle snaps, locking knobs or pins for instant release of the rails from legs etc.
