About Formaé

Formaé Fold was created to solve a simple challenge: how to enjoy studio-quality Pilates at home without compromising on space, design, or performance.

Too often, home reformers are bulky, unattractive, or cheaply made. We set out to change that — creating a reformer that is beautifully designed, foldable in seconds, and crafted from premium materials. A reformer that doesn’t just fit in your home — it belongs there.

Formaé Fold is more than equipment. It’s a way to Unfold Your Potential — through movement, design, and innovation.

We believe your Pilates practice should work around your life, your time, and your space.

Our Founder

Formaé was founded by Charlie Carvalho, a global Pilates instructor and studio owner. After years of teaching clients around the world, Charlie saw a gap: people loved the studio experience but wanted a way to practise at home — without bulky, unattractive equipment.

“I wanted to create something that felt as good as a studio reformer, but looked beautiful in the home and folded away effortlessly when not in use. The Formaé Fold is that vision realised — elegant, functional, and designed for real life.”

"The Formaé Fold has completely changed how I practise Pilates at home. The reformer feels just like the ones in the studio — smooth, sturdy, and beautifully made. I love that it folds away so easily, which makes it perfect for my flat. The On Demand app has been such a bonus — I can join a workout anytime, whether I have 15 minutes or an hour. It honestly feels like I’ve brought the studio experience into my living room."—
