The Align Pilates C8-Pro is the eight wheel member of the C-Series, built on anodised aluminium runners with an oversized footbar for daily studio work. Its polyurethane wheels give a quiet, soft ride that needs little upkeep.
The Rapid Change spring bar moves with the springs still attached, using one hand, so resetting the carriage between exercises or clients takes seconds. Five music wire springs, a 4 position lockable footbar and removable rope risers suit users from 145 to 193 cm tall.
When the floor is needed for something else, C8-Pro reformers stack top to tail, and with the leg extension or freestanding leg options they can stand upright. The frame also accepts Align half and full cadillac frames.
What's Included:
C8-Pro reformer frame with lockable 4 position footbar
Carriage with 3 position headrest and removable off centre shoulder rests
Silent ropes with double loop handles and a silent foot strap
Height adjustable feet, transport wheels and gondola pole holder hooks
Assembly hardware and Allen key
Features
Rapid Change spring bar Lift the bar and drop it into a new position with the springs still hooked on. There is no separate carriage stopper to move, which keeps group classes running on time.
Eight wheel carriage Eight polyurethane wheels run on anodised aluminium runners for a smooth, quiet glide. The carriage bed is 92 x 58 cm with 106.5 cm of travel.
Adjustable for many bodies The footbar locks in 4 positions including flat, the headrest has 3 settings and the off centre shoulder rests fit wide or narrow. Rope risers offer 7 heights and 7 rope lengths.
Stacks or stands upright Reformers stack top to tail when the room needs clearing. Add the leg extensions or freestanding legs and the C8-Pro can be stored vertically.
Ready for a cadillac frame The C8-Pro accepts both the Align half cadillac and full cadillac frames, so tower and trapeze work can be added later.

Installation
Unpack with two people The main carton weighs around 40 kg, so two people are needed to lift the frame out. Assembly usually takes 30 minutes to 1 hour with the supplied Allen key.
Fit the footbar and optional legs Bolt the footbar selector bar to the gear bar, then attach leg extensions or freestanding legs if you ordered them, ideally with the frame on padded trestles.
Insert the carriage and set the ropes Slide the carriage onto the runners with the springs toward the standing platform, check the side wheels, then fit the rope risers, handles and ropes.
Level the frame Screw the adjustable feet in or out until a spirit level reads true, keeping no more than 1 cm of thread exposed.
Align-Pilates covers this reformer with its limited commercial warranty, which runs from the date of purchase for the original owner and allows studio use of up to 37.5 hours a week with a user weight limit of 330 lb (150 kg). Metal and aluminium frames and welded components carry ten years. Wooden frames and the spring bar mechanism carry five years. Footbar mechanisms carry three years and other non-wear components two years. Ropes, straps, clips, handles and wheels carry one year.
Springs are covered for two years or 3,000 hours, whichever comes first, in studios running up to five reformers, and for one year or 3,000 hours in studios running six or more. Upholstery is covered for 90 days from delivery. Wear and tear, misuse, unauthorised modification, finish scratches and rust are excluded, and the cover depends on following the maintenance instructions in the manual.
Shipping Delivery is free anywhere in the United States. When the item is in stock, Align-Pilates ships it within two business days of confirmation. Large equipment is strapped to a pallet and moved by freight carrier, who will call ahead to book a delivery window; the handover is curbside, so line up a second person to help carry it in. Allow 1 to 3 weeks from order to delivery, and we forward tracking once the shipment is collected.
Check before you sign Look over each carton when it arrives. Record any damage on the delivery paperwork, take photos and let us know within 48 hours.
Returns Align-Pilates does not accept returns on reformers, cadillacs, chairs or ladder barrels, so this is a final sale once dispatched. We recommend confirming dimensions, ceiling height and access before ordering. Damaged, defective or incorrect deliveries reported within 48 hours are put right with the manufacturer, and orders can be cancelled without charge until they leave the warehouse.
