FAQ
A Pilates Reformer with Tower combines the traditional Pilates Reformer with a vertical frame (the “Tower”) that adds more versatility to your workout. While the standard Reformer focuses on exercises performed horizontally, the Tower allows for exercises in a vertical plane, utilizing springs and bars at different heights. This combination expands the range of movements and offers unique challenges for strength, flexibility, and control.
A Reformer with Tower offers all the benefits of a standard Reformer, plus more:
- Increased exercise variety: The Tower expands the exercise repertoire, targeting different muscle groups and movement patterns.
- Enhanced upper body strength: The Tower allows for exercises that strengthen the arms, shoulders, and back more effectively.
- Improved spinal articulation: Many Tower exercises promote spinal movement and flexibility.
- Greater range of motion: The Tower enables exercises that open up the chest, shoulders, and hips.
- Core strength and stability: Like the standard Reformer, it effectively engages the core muscles for improved stability and posture.
- Assisted stretching: The Tower can assist in deeper stretches.
The Reformer with Tower allows for a wide range of exercises, including:
- Reformer exercises: All the traditional Reformer exercises (footwork, leg and arm work, core strengthening).

- Mat-based exercises with Tower assistance: The Tower can be used to enhance or modify mat exercises.

While the Reformer with Tower offers advanced exercise options, it can be adapted for beginners. Many exercises can be modified to accommodate different fitness levels and abilities. However, it’s crucial to work with a qualified instructor who can provide proper guidance, ensure correct form, and adjust the exercises as needed.
To ensure safety when using a Reformer with Tower, keep the following in mind:
