The NordicTrack Ultra 1 Reformer Series, which includes the Ultra 1 Reform RX-S and the Ultra 1 Reformer, combines the precision and structure of Pilates with connected coaching from the convenience of home. With a 24-inch HD touchscreen, the Ultra Reformer Series helps people enhance their at-home training with iFIT programming, on-demand classes from world-renowned trainers, real-time on-screen feedback, and adaptive progression.
Both models use the Smart Spine enclosed resistance design, which is visually streamlined and useful for reducing pinch points common in exposed-spring reformers.
The Ultra 1 Reform RX-S is expected to launch in spring 2026, and it's a model with a smaller footprint and accessible resistance levels, whereas the RX-S model (open for pre-orders in December 2025) is geared toward high-performance training.
