What is the JuSai Pilates Smart Reformer?— Compact, Smart Pilates for Home & Studio

The JuSai Roulistic Smart Reformer is a compact, lightweight, smart Pilates reformer built for home use, on-location trainers, and space-conscious studios. It keeps the core mechanics of a traditional reformer but replaces heavy structure and manual springs with a portable design and servo-motor resistance that you can control with a knob or an app. 

 

Why this matters

Traditional studio reformers are great but large and heavy — many weigh around 200 lbs and need dedicated floor space. The Roulistic Reformer was designed to go where big machines can’t: small apartments, rooftop classes, pop-up studios, or trainers who travel between clients. That portability expands who can use reformer-style Pilates and how it’s taught. 

 

Key features (what makes Roulistic different)

• Very light and compact: The Roulistic Reformer weighs about 70 pounds and sits much lower than a standard reformer, so it stores and moves easily. 

• Servo-motor resistance: Instead of changing springs, you set resistance precisely — the motor adjusts in 1 kg (≈2.2 lb) steps, with some models offering up to 45 kg (≈99 lb) max resistance. This makes progression smoother and setups faster. 

• App & connectivity: The machine pairs with an iOS/Android app and supports Bluetooth, giving access to video tutorials, guided routines, and remote control of resistance. Great for virtual training or self-practice. 

• Versatile movement & extra range: Low platform height and added side bars allow more floor-based exercises and a larger range of motion than some standard reformers — the Roulistic can accommodate tall users (the site notes up to 6’8"). 

• Multiple accessories included: The reformer connects to accessories (short bar, triceps rope, ankle cuffs, grip handles, etc.) so you can train many body parts and intensities without separate machines. 

 

How it works 

Instead of manually swapping or stacking springs, the Roulistic uses an internal servo motor to set resistance. Turn the knob or use the app to select the exact load you want. The carriage still slides and lets you perform classic reformer patterns (pushes, pulls, leg work, core stability), but now resistance is micro-adjustable and reproducible between sessions. 

 

Models at a glance

JuSai offers several Roulistic models to fit different needs and budgets. (Specs below are taken from the product collection.) 

• RS02 / RS02-PRO

  • 18.1 in (46 cm) carriage width; 5.1 in (13 cm) height.

  • Resistance range: 3–30 kg (6.6–66.1 lbs) via servo motor. RS02-PRO adds a traditional rope system.

• RS03 / RS03-PRO

  • Same compact carriage and height.

  • Wider resistance range: 3–45 kg (6.6–99.2 lbs). PRO variant includes rope options and accessories. 

• RS04-E

  • Similar dimensions but uses springs (rather than motor) and offers 3–45 kg (14.3–108 lbs) range depending on configuration; no Bluetooth on this model.

These options let buyers prioritize weight/portability, motorized precision, or a lower-cost spring-based alternative.

 

Who is this for?

• Home users who want authentic reformer workouts but lack space. 

• Instructors and mobile trainers who need something light to move between studios or clients.

• Boutique studios that want to double class capacity by fitting two Roulistic units in the same footprint as one standard reformer — a potential profit and space optimisation.

• Rehab and mixed-fitness classes that benefit from fine resistance control and low-impact movement. The machine’s precision makes it useful for progressive rehab loading.

 

Benefits you can expect

• Low-impact full-body workouts: builds core strength, balance, and flexibility with less joint stress.

• Faster class turnover and studio scalability: because the Roulistic is compact, studios can increase participant numbers without expanding floor space.

• Precision progression: 1-kg resistance steps mean trainers can prescribe and track gradual strength increases.

• Better access to reformer work: more people can practice reformer Pilates at home or in pop-up locations.

Using the Roulistic App

The free Roulistic app (iOS & Android) provides hundreds of instructional videos and workout programs. It also lets you control resistance directly from your phone and follow guided sessions on the reformer itself — a big help for self-led practice or hybrid virtual + in-person training.

 

Accessories & add-ons

Typical accessories shipped with Roulistic units include: a carriage, short bicep bar, triceps rope, short handle grips, and ankle cuffs. Additional attachments and configuration options let you expand exercise variety without buying separate apparatus.

 

Short comparison: Roulistic Reformer vs. Standard Pilates Reformer

• Weight & size: Standard reformers ≈ 200 lb vs Roulistic ≈ 70 lb — easier to move and store.

• Resistance control: Standard uses springs of fixed increments; Roulistic offers motorized, incremental adjustments (on motorized models).

• Exercise range: Roulistic’s low height allows additional floor-based moves and a larger range of motion in some patterns.

 

FAQs

Q — Is the Roulistic a “true” reformer workout?
Yes. It preserves the sliding carriage and many classic reformer exercises, while adding modern features like motorized resistance and app control. 

Q — Can tall people use it?
The product page states the machine can accommodate users up to about 6’8” thanks to its carriage and travel range. 

Q — Which model should I pick?
Choose motorized RS02/RS03-PRO models for precise, app-controlled resistance and studio-style programming. Pick the RS04-E if you prefer a spring-based, lower-tech option. Compare the specs above to match resistance range and connectivity needs. 

Q — Where can I buy one?
JuSai lists Roulistic models on their website where you can view specs and order.
