The designation "R8" is derived from the term "Retro (8 wheel)," indicating that the Reformer has been intentionally developed to emulate various aspects of Joseph Pilates's original "classic Reformers." The aforementioned parameters encompass the distances of the carriage and foot bar, size of the carriage, placements of the spring bar, height of the foot bar, and overall height of the Reformer. The R8-Pro incorporates height-adjustable rope risers and Silent Ropes instead of traditional leather straps. This design feature ensures that the positioning of the pulley closely emulates that of a conventional machine.
In spite of possessing traditional characteristics, the R8-Pro is a modernised Reformer that incorporates five different foot bar heights, including a flat position, as well as several efficient adjustment mechanisms.
The R8-Pro is equipped with four springs, but it has the distinctive feature of accommodating an additional fifth spring, if desired. Additionally, our product incorporates the revolutionary Rapid Change spring bar, which offers three distinct Spring Bar positions to facilitate efficient and smooth modifications of the carriage position. The R8-Pro ropes possess the additional feature of fast and easy adjustment facilitated by our Pro Rope adjusters, which are conveniently positioned behind the shoulder rests.
The R8 is our inaugural entry into the "light commercial" segment of Reformers, making it well-suited for both residential and commercial establishments with moderate levels of utilisation. However, it is important to acknowledge that this particular Reformer lacks the capacity to house a Half Cadillac Tower. The guarantee for the R8 Pro encompasses home utilisation and has a restricted provision for light commercial usage, namely up to a maximum of 20 hours per week. The R8 Reformer in question has a maximum user weight capacity of 120 kilograms
The Align-Pilates R8 Pilates Reformer is characterised by its highly condensed design, while still maintaining a high standard of quality and performance. The R8 Pro can be autonomously positioned with an optional Jump Board, and it possesses the added benefit of portability with the inclusion of wheels, making it an excellent selection for a versatile studio/home environment. Please note the R8 can vertically stand with the jump board pre-positioned to enable free standing without the use of a wall. Additional support feet are required for this purpose.
In general, the R8-Pro stands out as the most cost-effective light commercial Reformer available in the market. The appreciation of the traditional Pilates Reformer design, in conjunction with its user-friendly features, increased range of motion, and enhanced adaptability to accommodate various body types, renders this Reformer an exceptional and contemporary interpretation of a timeless concept.
Limited lifetime Warranty of 5 years.
This period includes the welding of the runner and carriage frame.
2 Years on Springs and moving mechanical components.
1 year on ropes, grips and upholstery.
As per all Align-Pilates Reformers, the R8 is constructed to meet International Standards (ISO) ISO20957-1 Class S Item (Rated for 20 hours per week and maximum user is 120 kg) This encompasses a limited lifetime Warranty of 5 years.
