STOTT Pilates is a Pilates education and training system that today forms part of the Merrithew family of brands.

The STOTT Pilates system is supported by a comprehensive range of Merrithew equipment, including reformers, stability chairs, barrels, mats, props and accessories. Together, these tools enable instructors and therapists to deliver progressive Pilates programmes for a wide range of abilities, from rehabilitation clients to advanced practitioners.
Many commercial studios, physiotherapy practices and health clubs choose STOTT Pilates education and Merrithew equipment for the combination of respected training methodology and premium-quality equipment. The result is a professional Pilates offering built on recognised standards, proven programming principles and durable commercial-grade products.
When planning a STOTT Pilates facility, start by considering the services you intend to offer and the number of clients you expect to accommodate. The Merrithew equipment range allows operators to build anything from a small rehabilitation space to a fully equipped reformer studio, with equipment selected to support both the STOTT methodology and the needs of the facility.
The term 'STOTT reformer' is still widely used throughout the Pilates industry, although the equipment is now sold under the Merrithew brand. These professional-grade reformers are designed to support the STOTT Pilates methodology and are known for their precision engineering, adjustability, durability and smooth performance.
Yes. One reason why STOTT Pilates is so widely used in rehabilitation and physiotherapy settings is its strong emphasis on biomechanics, postural alignment and movement quality. Combined with Merrithew’s professional equipment, it provides a highly adaptable system suitable for a wide range of client needs and abilities.
Absolutely. While STOTT Pilates is widely associated with commercial studios and rehabilitation facilities, many committed practitioners choose Merrithew equipment for home use. A professional-grade reformer can provide the same precision, adjustability and training experience for home users as you’d find in leading Pilates studios around the world.
Merrithew equipment is designed for commercial environments and can provide many years of reliable service when properly maintained. The longevity of any reformer, chair or barrel will depend on usage levels and maintenance, but Merrithew is widely recognised for the durability and quality of its equipment.
Maintenance requirements vary according to the equipment type. Reformers, chairs and barrels should be cleaned regularly and inspected periodically for signs of wear. Springs, ropes, moving parts and upholstery should be checked in accordance with Merrithew's recommendations to help ensure safe, reliable long-term performance.
