Description

The C8-Pro is the ultimate C-Series Reformer, featuring an oversize aluminium profile and foot bar and an 8 PU wheel carriage system for the quietest and lowest maintenance ride available.

Like all Align-Pilates commercial Reformers, the C8-Pro features our patent pending Rapid Change (RC) spring bar for the easiest and quickest adjustment on the market.

Many Pilates professionals choose their Reformer based on the ride characteristics and the biggest determinant of that is the number and type of wheels. The number and material of the wheels determine the resistance of the carriage, the sound the machine makes, the handling of cross loading and the amount of maintenance required for optimal performance. The C8-Pro uses 8 ‘roller blade style’ wheels which are designed to give a quieter and softer ride with slightly greater rolling resistance when compared to the more ice glide ride offered by the harder nylon wheels used in a 4 wheel system like on the C2-Pro RC, where the wheels run in a matched aluminium profile. Which is better is a matter of preference for the user/s, though for many this will be a key determinant of which machine they buy and chances are; many will prefer the ride style they are more familiar with or trained on!

The C8-Pro’s Rapid Change spring bar radically alters the ease and speed of adjusting your Reformer, which is particularly beneficial for those running group classes (where the C8-Pro really excels). The spring bar can simply be adjusted with the springs attached, with one hand, and in a single action, which saves up to 12 additional actions when compared with most standard spring bars!

What's included in my C8-Pro Pilates Reformer?

The C8-Pro includes all Springs, Ropes & Handles to enable you to practice straight after the assembly of the Reformer. All of our commercial Reformers also come with a free Foot Strap as standard.

What is the Rapid Change (RC) Spring bar and how does it differ from a normal spring bar?

The Rapid Change RC Spring bar is the new patent pending Spring bar from Align-Pilates. A traditional spring bar is used in conjunction with a separate carriage stopped and this can take up to 12 actions to change on a 5 spring reformer. The RC spring bar features integral carriage stoppers and is adjusted with the springs attached, it can be moved with one hand in a single action saving 3 to 11 additional actions every time you move the spring bar. The RC spring bar is a game changer in group reformer classes and it also prevents incorrect carriage stopper positions and the possibility of leaving your springs in a stressed position, which will reduce their life and performance.

Can I purchase my C8-Pro Pilates Reformer with a different leg height?

Leg extensions are sold as an extra accessory for the C8-PRO.

What are the benefits of the different leg heights on the C8-Pro Pilates Reformer?

There are multiple considerations about getting the right Leg Height for you and your clients. Whilst primarily it’s a preference, you may wish to consider people’s comfort on sitting on a low leg Reformer vs. those sitting on a machine higher off the ground. Furthermore, if you or your client will be doing standing exercises, the user may feel more at ease performing lower to the ground. As standard all A & C series Reformers are supplied in low-leg form, but each has the ability to raise in height, at any time, should you require.

Do you offer Cadillac bundles with the C8-Pro Pilates Reformer?

Half Cadillac and Full Cadillac (along with their brackets) are add-ons available for C8-PRO.
