Align Pilates M8 Pro Maple Wood Reformer Machine PAPREFORMERM8

Luxurious over-size carriage

The Align-Pilates M8-Pro Pilates Reformer replaces the M2-Pro reformer in summer 2020. Crafted from solid North American maple, the M8-Pro is designed to marry classical styling with contemporary functionality. The M8-Pro offers refined performance whilst offering extensive adjust-ability, a luxurious over size carriage, and 104cm travel of smooth and silent travel. This reformer has been designed for studio, rehab, or private use with the innovative design offering a host of easy adjustments to provide complete flexibility in use. The principle change from the M2-Pro is that the M8-Pro uses our new patent pending Rapid Change (RC) spring bar so that the spring bar can be adjusted with the springs attached with one hand without the need to move a separate carriage stopper.

The Rapid Change (RC) spring bar radically alters the ease and speed of adjusting your reformer, which is particularly beneficial in the group class environment where the C2-Pro RC excels. The spring bar can be adjusted with springs attached, with one hand in a single action saving up to 12 additional actions compared with most standard reformers.

The reformer comes complete with a removable maple standing platform, features storage hooks for a Gondola Pole, and removable off centred shoulder rests for a choice of shoulder width positions. The M8-Pro can also accept an optional upholstered Jump Board that is interchangeable with the standing platform. You can also convert the M8-Pro with a Half Cadillac, converting into a completely flatbed with a two-part Platform Extender and Mattress Converter. Max. user weight: 150kg.
