Reformers are delivered from a central European warehouse with a delivery time of approximately 2 weeks.
The C8-Pro is the ultimate C-Series Reformer, featuring an oversized aluminum profile and footbar, as well as a trolley system with 8 PU wheels, offering the quietest and lowest maintenance ride on the market.
Like all Align-Pilates commercial Reformers, the C8-Pro features our patent-pending Rapid Change (RC) spring bar for the easiest and fastest adjustments on the market.
Many Pilates professionals choose their Reformers based on their ride characteristics, and the biggest determining factor is the number and type of wheels on the carriage. The number and material of the wheels determine the resistance of the carriage, the sound of the machine, the handling of lateral loads and the amount of maintenance required for optimal performance. The C8-Pro uses 8 ‘roller skate’ wheels, which are designed to give a quieter and smoother ride with slightly higher rolling resistance compared to the harder nylon wheels used in a 4 wheel system like the C2-Pro RC, where the wheels ride on a similar aluminium profile. Which one is better depends on user preference, although for many this will be a key factor in which piece of equipment they choose, and many will likely prefer to choose the riding style they are more familiar with or trained to!
The C8-Pro's Rapid Change spring bar radically changes the ease and speed of adjusting the Reformer, which is especially useful for those who hold group classes (where the C8-Pro really shines). The spring bar can be simply adjusted with the springs attached, with one hand and in one motion, saving up to 12 additional steps compared to most standard spring bars!
Foot set
With the leg extension kit, you can raise the Reformer to the more popular 42 cm height. In addition to increasing the Reformer's usable height, the leg extension kit allows you to raise the Reformer upright. When raised upright, the Reformer takes up less space when not in use. It stays upright without separate support. This feature is especially suitable for studios that also practice other than machine Pilates.
