         27 . The reformer of  claim 26 , wherein at least one of the first rotatable joint or the second rotatable joint is a ball joint. 
     
     
         28 . The reformer of  claim 21 , wherein the screen is movable from a third position centered on the longitudinal axis to a fourth position not centered on the longitudinal axis. 
     
     
         29 . A reformer, comprising:
 a frame extending between a first end portion and a second end portion, and having a longitudinal axis extending between the first end portion and the second end portion;   a carriage slidably supported by the frame and movable between the first end portion and the second end portion; and   a screen assembly rotatably coupled to the frame at the second end portion of the frame,   wherein the screen assembly comprises a screen and an arm extending between a first end and a second end, wherein the first end of the arm is connected to the second end portion of the frame via a first rotatable joint, wherein the screen is connected to the second end of the arm via a second rotatable joint,   wherein the screen assembly is configured to be movable from a first position to a second position, wherein in the first position, a first plane formed by the screen is generally parallel to a second plane formed by a first axis extending generally perpendicular to the longitudinal axis in a Z direction and the longitudinal axis, and wherein in the second position, the first plane is generally perpendicular to the second plane.   
     
     
         30 . The reformer of  claim 29 , wherein at least one of the first rotatable joint or the second rotatable joint is a ball joint. 
     
     
         31 . The reformer of  claim 29 , wherein the second rotatable joint is configured to allow the screen to rotate or pivot about the first axis extending in the Z direction, and wherein the second rotatable joint is configured to allow the screen to rotate or pivot about the second axis extending in the Y direction. 
     
     
         32 . The reformer of  claim 29 , wherein the screen is rotatable or pivotable about the first axis in the Z direction, such that the screen can be seen by a user at a position adjacent the reformer for performing exercises adjacent the reformer. 
     
     
         33 . The reformer of  claim 29 , wherein the screen is movable from a third position centered on the longitudinal axis to a fourth position not centered on the longitudinal axis. 
     
     
         34 . A reformer, comprising:
 a frame extending between two end portions, and having a longitudinal axis extending between the two end portions;   a carriage slidably supported by the frame; and   a screen assembly movably coupled to the frame, wherein the screen assembly includes a screen and an arm, wherein the screen is movable from a first position where a surface of the screen is aligned with the longitudinal axis to a second position where the surface of the screen is aligned with a second axis extending generally perpendicular to the longitudinal axis in a Y direction,   wherein the screen is movable from a third position centered on the longitudinal axis to a fourth position not centered on the longitudinal axis.
