The C8-Pro is the pinnacle of the C-Series Reformers, featuring an oversized aluminum profile, an adjustable foot bar, and an 8 PU wheel carriage system for the quietest, lowest-maintenance ride available.
As with all Align-Pilates commercial reformers, the C8-Pro includes the patent-pending Rapid Change (RC) spring bar for the fastest and easiest adjustments on the market.
When choosing a reformer, many Pilates professionals prioritize ride characteristics, largely influenced by the number and type of wheels. These factors affect carriage resistance, noise level, cross-loading handling, and maintenance needs. The C8-Pro features 8 rollerblade-style wheels, offering a quieter, softer ride with slightly greater rolling resistance compared to the harder nylon wheels used in 4-wheel systems like the C2-Pro RC. These nylon wheels provide an “ice glide” ride in a matched aluminum profile. Preference between these systems typically depends on user familiarity and training.
The C8-Pro’s Rapid Change Spring Bar significantly enhances efficiency, particularly in group classes, where it truly excels. This innovative system allows the RC Spring Bar to be adjusted with the springs attached, using just one hand in a single action—saving up to 12 steps compared to standard spring bars!

Description
The C8-Pro includes all necessary springs, ropes, and handles for immediate use after assembly. All our commercial reformers also come with a complimentary foot strap.
The Rapid Change (RC) Spring Bar is the newest patent-pending spring bar from Align-Pilates. A traditional spring bar is used in conjunction with a separate carriage stopper, which 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, so 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. 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. Watch the video here!

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

The C8-Pro offers the smooth silent travel that can be found in the M8-Pro and A8-Pro combined with the compactness of the C2-Pro RC. A hybrid of these two key components means it’s a fantastic choice for studios and gyms looking for a versatile reformer with leading performance specifications.
Reformers are typically delivered on a pallet to your driveway or the front of the building. The driver will unload the reformer for you, then you will need to take it into your home or studio from there. Some assembly is required, but you can find detailed instructions in both the User Manual and on our YouTube channel. As a standard practice, suitable access for van or truck deliveries is necessary.
