Align Pilates C8-Pro Reformer with Half Cadillac

The Align Pilates C8-Pro Reformer with Half Cadillac pairs Align's aluminium C-series studio reformer with a stainless steel half cadillac tower, so one footprint covers reformer classes and tower work.

The C8-Pro rolls on 8 PU wheels inside anodised aluminium runners and gives 106.5 cm of carriage travel. Its Rapid Change spring bar moves with the springs still attached, which keeps changeovers quick between clients.

The tower slides into a bracket set that bolts to the reformer legs. It brings a push through bar with safety strap, a roll down bar and eight cadillac springs on sliding holders.

What's Included:

• Align Pilates C8-Pro Reformer with 5 springs, silent ropes with double loop handles and a silent foot strap
• Align Pilates Half Cadillac Frame with push through bar, safety strap and roll down bar
• 8 cadillac springs (four 64 cm long, four 47 cm standard)
• 1 pair of foot straps and 1 pair of hand handles for the tower
• 2 pairs of rapid adjust double eyelet spring holders
• 8 aluminium carabiners and 8 double ended dog clips
• Half Cadillac Bracket set for the C8-Pro and C2-Pro reformers

Features

Tower work on the same machine
The half cadillac adds push through, roll down and hanging spring exercises at the head of the reformer, so clients move between repertoires without changing stations.

Rapid Change spring bar
Lift the spring bar and set it in a new position with the springs in place. There is no separate carriage stopper to move.

Quiet 8 wheel carriage
Eight PU wheels run in anodised aluminium runners for a soft, quiet ride with low upkeep. Travel measures 106.5 cm.

Adjustable push through bar
The push through bar height and the four sliding spring holders lock into set holes on the uprights, and a quick release safety strap keeps the bar under control when sprung from below.

Bolt on bracket set
The C-series brackets bolt to the reformer legs and runners with the supplied Allen key, then the frame slides in and locks with grub screws.

Oversize lockable foot bar
The padded foot bar locks in 4 positions including flat, and off centre shoulder rests give a choice of widths.

Installation

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

Fit the brackets
At the rope riser end, bolt the lower bracket feet to the legs with the supplied bolts and washers, then fix the upper brackets to the runners. Hand tighten everything first, then tighten fully with the Allen key.

Insert the frame
Level the reformer with all four feet on the floor, loosen the grub screws and have two people slide the frame into the brackets with the knobs facing outward. Measure the ceiling first, as Align notes 2.45 m of clearance is needed to insert the frame on a reformer with 40 cm legs.
