The C8-Pro is an absolute C-Series Reformer with an oversized aluminum profile and footbar and a carriage system with 8 PU wheels, offering the quietest and least maintenance-intensive ride on the market.
Like all Align-Pilates commercial Reformers, the C8-Pro also 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 ride characteristics, with the biggest determining factor being the number and type of cart wheels. The number of wheels and material determine the resistance of the carriage, the sound of the machine, the handling of transverse loads and the amount of maintenance required to achieve optimal performance. The C8-Pro uses 8 'roller skate style' wheels designed to give a quieter and smoother ride with slightly more 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 aluminum profile. Which one is better depends on the user's preference, although for many this is a key factor in which device they choose, and probably many prefer to choose the driving style they are more familiar with or are more trained in!
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 run group classes (where the C8-Pro really excels). The spring bar can be simply adjusted with the springs attached, with one hand and one movement, saving up to 12 additional steps compared to most standard spring bars!
Leg set
With the extension set of legs, you can raise the Reformer to the more popular height of 42 cm. In addition to increasing the working height of the Reformer, the extension set of legs enables the Reformer to be raised upright. Raised upright, the Reformer takes up less space when not in use. Stands upright without separate support. This feature is especially suitable for studios that also practice other than equipment mocking.
