The Align Pilates Combo Chair III is the third generation of Align's Wunda style chair, the compact apparatus Joseph Pilates designed around a padded seat, springs and a foot pedal.
Its pedal splits in two, so clients can press with both feet together or work one side at a time. Four springs hook onto a chromed spring tree with four positions, and two removable handles adjust through nine heights for standing and pressing work.
Compared with the earlier chair, version III adds a pedal locking mechanism, a pedal axle running on roller bearings, rubber coated silent spring hooks and a chromed spring tree for smoother, quieter operation.
What's Included:
Base frame with wheels
Seat support frame and upholstered seat pad
2 maple veneered side panels and front plate
2 split foot pedals with pivot pole and bearing housings
2 chromed spring holder trees
4 springs (2 green strong, 2 black extra strong)
2 removable handles with height adjustment bars and holders
2 jump board fasteners and eyelet bolts
Hardware pack, multitool, 5 mm and 6 mm Allen keys
Features
Split pedals Undo the connecting bar under the pedals and slide it back to let each pedal move on its own. Refasten it to work both pedals as one.
Four spring positions Two strong and two extra strong springs hook onto a chromed tree. A higher peg adds resistance, a lower peg lightens it and brings the pedals closer to the floor.
Height adjustable handles Pull out the knob, slide the handle to one of nine holes and tighten it. The handles have anti slip grips and lift out completely when not needed.
Quieter pedal action Roller bearings on the pedal axle and rubber coated spring hooks cut noise, and a locking mechanism holds the pedals in place.
Wall friendly frame A cut away frame lets you reach the springs with the chair against a wall, and eyelets accept resistance bands or springs.
Jump board ready Fasteners on the seat back accept the A Series reformer jump board, an optional add on you can buy later.

Build the frame Bolt the spring trees to the base frame, then add the seat support frame, side panels and handle holders, leaving bolts loose for now.
Fit pedals and seat Thread the pivot pole through both pedals, set it in the bearing housings, add the front plate and seat pad, then tighten every bolt.
Springs and handles Hook one spring of each strength to each pedal, attach them to the trees at matching heights, then fit and set the handles.

How this compares to similar models
The closest alternatives side by side, so you do not have to keep tabs open.
Four springs: two green strong springs and two black extra strong springs. Each pedal takes one of each, and Align recommends replacing springs every two years.
Can the pedals work independently?
Yes. Unscrew the connecting bar fastener under the pedals, slide the bar back and refasten it. Reverse the steps to join the pedals again.
Are the handles removable?
Yes. Both handles lift out of their holders, and when fitted they adjust through nine height positions.
Can I use it against a wall?
Yes. The frame is cut away at the back so you can still change springs with the chair close to a wall.
Does it take a jump board?
The jump board from the Align A Series reformer fits the back of the chair. It is an optional extra sold separately.
Is it suitable for studio use?
Yes. The manual's warranty is a light commercial warranty covering up to 27.5 hours of use per week.
