Tower

Reformer with Tower is the smartest choice, because you have 3 machines in one (Reformer, Mat Station and Tower). 95% of the Cadillac ‘s full repertoire can be executed on this versatile machine (Reformer with Tower).

The Tower is a vertical unit that uses a variety of attachments

  • Push through bar
  • Push through springs (from below with cover)
  • Push through springs (from above)
  • Safety chain (short length for legwork-long length for arm work)
  • Roll down bar με Roll down springs / arm springs
  • Loops (or Double loops/Y-Loops, Velcro loops, Foam grip handles/neoprene handles) με arm springs
  • Safety links
  • Snap clips
  • Double end clips

There is a multitude of springs on it. They can be used to further challenge or give support. The exercise repertoire meets the functional needs of the advanced as well as the beginner Pilates trainees. The springs and resistance can be adjusted for height, weight, and strength of the trainee. Even if the training targets to legs, arms, glutes or any part of your body, the body core will be engaged. It is a total body workout. Emphasis is given to safety rules due to variety of attachments.
