### 3/5 — So mixed!

*2026-01-04*

The quality of instruction on this app is incredible. Top level teachers and really challenging but clear workouts. My issue is that the price point is twice as much as other reformer apps (eg pilates anytime) and the search/filters/etc) are really lackluster so it’s hard to find what you’re looking for. If they could get peloton level search/filters/stacking capabilities this app would be worth its weight in gold.

### 5/5 — KG

*2025-12-16, version 9.100.6*

The best workout, no one does it better!

### 5/5 — pilates anytime & anywhere

*2025-12-16, version 9.100.6*

this app is well designed and helps you stay consistent, even if you’re on the go. the workouts are effective with clear cues and a great flow. 10000% worth it!!!

### 5/5 — Best Pilates Studio Ever…

*2025-12-16, version 9.100.6*

Forma is the absolute best and this app brings the studio to you! Love the flows, the spice and the most amazing instructors. A must download. Abs loading 🔥

### 5/5 — BELIEVE the hype; Best pilates platform out there !

*2025-12-11*

I’ve heard about Forma’s studios for years but they’re basically impossible to get into, so I tried the app instead. It exceeded every expectation. The classes are structured, very challenging, and filmed beautifully. After trying so many Pilates platforms, this is the only one that feels elevated and honestly addictive! Plus the library of content is massive and has something for everyone.

### 5/5 — Feels Like You're In Studio!

*2025-12-11, version 9.100.6*

I've been in studio many times and these digital classes give you that same experience. Top tier as always - a very luxe experience from start to finish.

### 5/5 — Favorite part of my day!

*2025-12-11*

The app is easy to use, and there’s a variety of workouts to try depending on your flow for the day. Love it! A lifelong subscriber ✨

### 5/5 — Like no other workout!!

*2025-12-09, version 9.100.6*

Holy hell this is no joke, my body has never been stronger and more toned. My hubby even commented on my butt! Was using a influencer app before but didnt get results and you can really tell these trainers are the real deal

### 5/5 — Love it!!

*2025-10-27*

I absolutely love my Forma Pilates app! There’s a ton of videos, great teachers, and I always feel like I get a great workout! The videos are designed into various time increments which makes it super convenient to combine different ones to get either a quick workout or more time intensive. I have been doing Pilates for many years and appreciate the mix between traditional moves and more athletic ones. I love Forma!! ❤️💗❤️💗

### 4/5 — Variety for more advanced practitioners

*2025-09-21*

I like this app bc it has a large variety of reformer.  I mostly only do reformer which is hard to find on apps.  Most other apps with reformer are too easy or the instructors are not good and not for intermediate or advanced practitioners.  I used this mostly to supplement when I’m out east on my own reformer / tower but in the city I take in person reformer.  The only thing I don’t love is it’s fairly disorganized and difficult to search.  They need to take some time to categorize and tag.  Also now a days there’s very few videos with the founder.

### 5/5 — Forma Pilates reformer online classes

*2025-08-18, version 9.100.1*

“Every session at Forma Pilates is a gift for my body. I’ve never felt better in my own skin—my strength, posture, and energy have completely transformed.”

### 5/5 — Love it

*2025-08-04, version 9.100.1*

The his app lays out reformer workouts in a weekly format. Class lengths vary and you can pick and choose based on time, body part worked and mat vs reformer.  Classes are challenging, but modifications are given.

### 5/5 — Love this app so much

*2025-07-23, version 9.100.1*

This app is truly everything I’ve asked for! The classes are amazing and it’s very user friendly! I use it at home with my reformer machine and on the go! Highly recommend. And price is affordable as well.

### 5/5 — Amazing workout

*2025-07-01, version 9.100.1*

Been doing different training since I was a kid (many diff martial arts, weight training, yoga, HIIT, football, baseball, basketball, and more) and I am so glad my sister finally convinced me to try out Pilates. 

It use the Forma app daily to keep my body and mind in tip top shape. 

My core has never been stronger and I love that it makes me move my body in ways I never would think to do on my own. 

If you want to challenge yourself and have an amazing library of workouts available to you on demand then this is the app for you! 

Thank you Forma for all the amazing workouts!

### 5/5 — Best Pilates workout ever

*2025-06-25, version 9.100.1*

Seriously nothing compares. Short, sweet, gets me in shape faster than anything. Great mix of mat, reformer, tower. Excellent use of props and time for maximum efficiency and results. I’ve subscribed for years now!

### 5/5 — Best Reformer App

*2025-06-14*

Beautiful exercises and very well instructed. It's great fun to train with Reforma

### 5/5 — 5-Star Pilates: Diverse, Guided, and Effective!

*2025-05-15*

I love how diverse these workouts are—they focus on your physical form to help avoid injury, with reminders to guide you. They offer several types of workouts, with the option of using different equipment to give you an entirely new workout each day, focusing on different parts of your body. (They also offer no-equipment workouts.) I love how they allow you to choose different workout lengths, from 5 to 30 minutes (or longer), and they even offer several quick 5-minute burn sessions. My favorite aspect is how they have an instructor who can help and guide someone performing the workout—it feels like you’re actually getting a one-on-one session with a personal trainer.

### 5/5 — Best Pilates App

*2025-05-07, version 9.009.2*

I love it. its so different and really makes you love the movement more. the only app i could never leave.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Mixed feelings

*2023-05-29*

I used to like this app more when it was just the instructors doing the exercises. I’ve found that so many of the girls they demo the exercises with have no idea what they are doing and it makes it very frustrating to follow. The demo girls have terrible form and tend to stop part way through an exercise from exhaustion or they pause for correction. This slows down the class and breaks up my exercises that are supposed to be continuous to be beneficial. There are better online guided Pilates classes for less $$$. For the price I’d expect better quality and professionalism.

### 1/5 — Overpriced and underdelivered

*2023-02-04*

I was shocked by the membership price of forma but was more than willing to pay it based on the in person classes + hype around this awesome brand.  I used the app for 8 months now and it’s honestly awful.  There is no consistency between uploads, the format or the schedule, the strategy clearly lacks focus and half the time I cannot even access the videos it just keeps spinning.  Ive been cycling through the same 10 videos for the past 6 weeks because that’s all that works.  The ERP you guys are using needs to be updated and the template for creating/uploading videos should be defined.  Some videos I get to see equipment prior and some I don’t realize we are using a piece of equipment until it gets to that move and I have to pause the workout scramble to get the equipment and reset.  It’s just really frustrating when I pay monthly what you can for most Pilates apps a yearly membership.  This is unacceptable

### 1/5 — Not many updates

*2022-12-17, version 7.204.1*

There are only a handful of full reformer classes (like a 50min) kind of worthless

### 1/5 — No customer service

*2022-11-03, version 7.204.1*

I have emailed them 3x with absolutely no response whatsoever. There’s only 103 videos on the app and the moves are extremely repetitive between videos. Save your money, way overpriced for an app of such little value

### 1/5 — Videos won’t work

*2022-03-21, version 7.204.1*

Doesn’t work. Paid $50 for the month and the videos don’t appear! Now there is minimal content to work with.

### 2/5 — Disappointed update

*2025-11-26, version 9.100.5*

I’ve been using the app for years and was hopeful this improvement was going to be much better. Sorting is not clear and easy nor is finding the newest released classes. And previous history isn’t a feature. Basic features would go a long way.

### 2/5 — Average

*2025-07-19, version 9.100.1*

I wake up feeling sore most days, and I preferred the way my body looked/felt when I was doing Joe Pilates Classical Mat/Reformer/Tower workouts. I use the app because I paid for a year. I would recommend starting with lower weights and resistance bands than they suggest (so you don’t hurt yourself). I like that they use higher rep counts than classical Pilates. I gained 11 pounds (probably mostly muscle) while using this app— 119 to 130 lbs. I wouldn’t suggest this app if you like being long, lean, and flexible.

### 2/5 — So expensive

*2024-03-05*

£40 a month is not very accessible for people who workout at home. Especially when there’s so many other well established fitness apps available at a much lower cost. Looks like there’s some good workouts on here but can’t get over the price, please reconsider your subscription costs.

### 2/5 — Wish we could extend our paused subscriptions w/o being charged

*2023-10-15*

I subscribed when this app first came out a couple years back and it was okay for me. I hate how we can only pause our subscription for 3 months at a time - and there’s no option to extend it unless it reactivates. Huge issue for me.  I ended up cancelling since I’m looking for an app that uses the same reformer as me just to simplify things a bit better. I have an Allegro 2 reformer, so following the reformer classes was kind of annoying for me when it came to springs and a few times when the workout included a segment on a tower, which I don’t have. I enjoyed a lot of the mat workouts which I normally hate from other trainers and on other apps. If they figure out a way to allow us to extend our paused subscription and not get charged for a month in order to pause again, I’d probably reactivate my account!

### 2/5 — Decline in Content

*2022-04-15, version 7.204.1*

Really good workouts and had a ton of awesome mat workouts available. Their website crashed a few weeks ago and they never brought back all the content. I’m not paying $50/mo for 12 mat workouts.

### 5/5 — Who needs a physical studio when you have Forma?

*2026-07-23*

I love these workout they are challenging but also hold to the core classic Pilates. The only thing I wish the app had was some sort of tracker for the series to say “you’re 50% of the way through the series” just to keep up motivation. I don’t need the thousand of reminder that other fitness apps seem to have. Forma speaks for itself in that so no need for it.

### 5/5 — If you love mat and reformer Pilates, you’ll love this!! (Note there prenatal classes too!)

*2026-07-15*

I love reformer pilates and struggled after I had a baby because I did not have the time to get back into the studio. I struggled to find an online platform that focused on classical Pilates movements but was still advanced as I was used too. I also wanted to find a platform with a pre/postnatal series. Then I found Forma Pilates, I was a bit apprehensive. It’s not the cheapest app (still cheaper than going to a studio once a week) and there was only a 3 day free trial period. But I decided to try it and see what one or two classes were like. I jumped into a few of their prenatal classes and I was HOOKED. I now take a class every day and am working through their different series to get my body back to pre-baby strength. I cannot say enough about this app. If you love Pilates and want advanced classes, this app is for you.

### 5/5 — Hard Stuff, Easy to Follow

*2026-04-02, version 9.102.14*

Wow, my core has never been stronger. I am lucky that I have a reformer at home but interestingly enough, I find myself doing the mat classes more often just because I can do the workouts anywhere. Thankful for this app!

### 5/5 — Forma Pilates reformer online classes
