Align Pilates C8-Pro Reformer with Full Cadillac

The Align Pilates C8-Pro Reformer with Full Cadillac mounts Align's full stainless steel cadillac frame over the C8-Pro studio reformer, creating a reformer and cadillac combination on a single footprint.

The C8-Pro runs on 8 PU wheels in anodised aluminium runners with 106.5 cm of travel and a Rapid Change spring bar. In Align's current reformer line, the C8-Pro is the model listed for the full cadillac.

The frame arrives with a trapeze and fluffy foot support, fuzzy handles, sliding spring eyelets, a push through bar with safety strap and a roll down bar, plus 12 springs for cadillac work.

• Align Pilates C8-Pro Reformer with 5 springs, silent ropes with double loop handles and a silent foot strap

Features

Full cadillac over the reformer
A four post stainless steel frame surrounds the C8-Pro, opening up trapeze, hanging and spring work across the whole length of the bed.

Trapeze and fuzzies
The trapeze with fluffy foot support and the pair of fuzzy handles hang from the top frame, with the trapeze carried on very strong springs.

Push through bar with safety strap
The push through bar is designed for push and swing through exercises with the supplied springs, and its quick release safety strap stops the bar swinging down under tension.

Sliding spring positions
Two pairs of rapid adjust double eyelet spring holders slide on the uprights, and the cross bars move to place springs where each exercise needs them.

Rapid Change spring bar
On the reformer, the spring bar lifts into a new position with the springs attached, using one hand.

Quiet 8 wheel carriage
Eight PU wheels in anodised aluminium runners give 106.5 cm of soft, quiet travel for reformer classes.

Installation

Build the reformer
The C8-Pro arrives in 2 boxes and the main box weighs around 40 kg, so two people are needed. Align puts reformer assembly at 30 minutes to 1 hour.

Check height and fit the uprights
Align's cadillac guide calls for 2.45 m of height clearance to insert the poles. Loosen the grub screws on all four corners, then insert the uprights one at a time.

Assemble the top frame
Fit the corner caps, slide the trapeze carriage over the cross bars and bolt the corners together. Attach the push through bar, trapeze and safety strap, using carabiners where springs meet the frame and dog clips where they meet a bar or handle.

Shipping
Delivery is free anywhere in the United States. When the item is in stock, Align-Pilates ships it within two business days of confirmation. Large equipment is strapped to a pallet and moved by freight carrier, who will call ahead to book a delivery window; the handover is curbside, so line up a second person to help carry it in.
