The C8-Pro is the flagship model in the C-Series, offering superior performance with its oversized aluminum profile, adjustable foot bar, and advanced 8 PU wheel carriage system. This design ensures the quietest, smoothest, and lowest-maintenance ride available, making it a top choice for Pilates studios.
Like all Align-Pilates commercial reformers, the C8-Pro comes equipped with the patent-pending Rapid Change (RC) Spring Bar, allowing for the fastest and easiest spring adjustments on the market.
For many Pilates professionals, the ride characteristics of a reformer are a key factor in their choice. The number and type of wheels significantly influence the ride's resistance, noise level, ability to handle uneven loading, and the maintenance required. The C8-Pro’s 8 'rollerblade-style' wheels offer a softer, quieter ride with slightly more rolling resistance compared to the firmer, more glide-focused feel of the 4-wheel nylon system used in models like the C2-Pro RC.
Whether users prefer the smoother, quieter ride of the C8-Pro or the gliding sensation of a 4-wheel system often depends on their training or personal experience, making it a critical factor in their decision.
Additionally, the Rapid Change spring bar is a standout feature, streamlining adjustments for group classes where speed and efficiency are crucial. It allows for one-handed adjustments with the springs still attached, eliminating up to 12 extra steps compared to standard spring bars, making it ideal for fast-paced studio environments.

FAQ's
The C8-Pro includes all Springs, Ropes & Handles to enable you to practice straight after the assembly of the Reformer. All of our commercial Reformers also come with a free Foot Strap as standard.
The Rapid Change RC Spring bar is the new patent pending Spring bar from Align-Pilates. A traditional spring bar is used in conjunction with a separate carriage stopped and this can take up to 12 actions to change on a 5 spring reformer. The RC spring bar features integral carriage stoppers and is adjusted with the springs attached, it can be moved with one hand in a single action saving 3 to 11 additional actions every time you move the spring bar. The RC spring bar is a game changer in group reformer classes and it also prevents incorrect carriage stopper positions and the possibility of leaving your springs in a stressed position, which will reduce their life and performance.

There are multiple considerations about getting the right Leg Height for you and your clients. Whilst primarily it’s a preference, you may wish to consider people’s comfort on sitting on a low leg Reformer vs. those sitting on a machine higher off the ground. Furthermore, if you or your client will be doing standing exercises, the user may feel more at ease performing lower to the ground. As standard all A & C series Reformers are supplied in low-leg form, but each has the ability to raise in height, at any time, should you require.
Half Cadillac and Full Cadillac (along with their brackets) are add-ons available for C8-PRO.
