The V2 Max Plus Bundle extends Merrithew's studio-quality performance with a packaged set of accessories and tower-compatible options that deliver high value for buyers outfitting a comprehensive reformer and tower setup. Compared with the standalone SPX Max Plus it often represents a better immediate financial proposition by bundling key attachments and reducing add-on costs, while retaining the same level of technical precision that outclasses consumer models like AeroPilates and competes directly with Balanced Body. For Pilates studios and committed home practitioners the bundle simplifies procurement and lowers the effective per-item cost of a professional system.

The STOTT PILATES Arc Barrel is a meticulously contoured barrel that emphasizes progressive back extension, core stabilization and safe mobility sequencing, reflecting the brand’s clinical research-driven approach to apparatus design within Pilates chairs and barrels. Compared with the MERRITHEW Spine Corrector, the Arc Barrel offers a broader surface for full-spine work and tends to be positioned as a premium investment for studios seeking consistent anatomy-focused outcomes over the smaller, more targeted spine corrector.

Fit Simplify Resistance Loop Exercise Bands
Fit Simplify is the budget-friendly choice for mobility, activation and travel-ready workouts, offering color-coded loop bands that are light, portable and easy for beginners to use.

For users focused on mobility and low-to-moderate resistance work, Fit Simplify is an affordable entry point compared with more clinical or heavy-duty options.
