Align Pilates A8-Pro Reformer with Half Cadillac

The Align Pilates A8-Pro Reformer with Half Cadillac combines Align's extra large A-series studio reformer with a stainless steel half cadillac tower, adding spring arm, push through and roll down work at the head end.

The A8-Pro has a wide carriage on 8 PU wheels with 113 cm of travel, a 6 position lockable foot bar and a Rapid Change spring bar. Choose short 28 cm, standard 42 cm or rehab 64 cm legs.

Features

Long travel, wide carriage
The A8-Pro gives 113 cm of carriage travel on 8 PU wheels in anodised aluminium runners, with an oversized carriage for a broad range of clients.

Three leg heights
Order short 28 cm, standard 42 cm or rehab 64 cm legs. The legs are interchangeable, so the bed height can change later.

Half cadillac tower
Sliding spring holders, a height adjustable push through bar and a roll down bar open up cadillac repertoire without a second machine.

Rapid Change spring bar
The spring bar moves between its 4 positions, spanning 20 cm, with the springs still attached.

Six position foot bar
The padded foot bar locks in 6 positions including flat, and the 3 position headrest and removable off centre shoulder rests fine tune the setup.

Flexible rope riser position
Keep the rope risers on the reformer or fold them away and mount pulleys on the tower's stainless steel tubes to clear the head end.

Installation

Build the reformer
The A8-Pro weighs over 70 kg and arrives in 4 boxes, so two people are needed. A socket spanner and Allen key are included. Align suggests resting the frame on two trestles 180 cm apart to fit the legs, and placing the wheeled legs at the standing platform end when a half cadillac is fitted.

Check ceiling height
Inserting the frame needs about 2.45 m of clearance on standard legs and 2.75 m on rehab legs. If the room is tall enough for the tower but not to insert it, remove the legs, fit the tower and then refit the legs.

Fit brackets and frame
Bolt each bracket on with 4 short bolts and 2 long bolts into the underside of the frame, then slide the tower in with a helper and tighten the grub screws with the Allen key.
