About Us
Pilates ProWorks was founded in 2009 in San Francisco by husband and wife team, Oscar Sanin and Taylor Carter.
Oscar’s journey to founding Pilates ProWorks came by way of a personal health crisis. He sustained injuries from a serious accident and, over the years, was told he needed to undergo major surgery. In his search for an alternative opinion, a doctor recommended he try Pilates before undergoing surgery. Oscar started a pilates regimen and was amazed by the strength and improvement that he gained in such a short period of time. However, being a successful entrepreneur, he also saw things that didn’t work for him and a new opportunity was born.
Many of the reformers on the market lacked quality and comfort, and yet the cost of sessions was very expensive. He became convinced that there was a way to give more people the opportunity to practice Pilates, and on a superior machine.
He worked with industrial designers and fitness consultants to overcome the limitations of the classic reformer to create the FitFormer™. Once he had the machine, and a contemporary workout to go with it, he opened the first studio in San Francisco, offering group classes and accessibly priced monthly memberships.
The FitFormer™is now in many corners of the world: USA, CHINA, SOUTH AMERICA and EUROPE being used for both commercial purposes in fitness studios and gyms, as well as for personal home use.
Over the last 10 years we have evolved and updated the machine, always striving to make the best machine on the market and we are thrilled to now be able to offer it to the public. The FitFormer™, is by far the best reformer type equipment on the market!
