Cadillac Pilates Reformer

Why choose between a Cadillac and a reformer when you can have both? Cadillac reformers combine the sliding carriage and spring resistance of a traditional reformer with the full trapeze frame, push-through bar and suspended exercises of a Cadillac — all in a single apparatus.

Cadillac Reformers — Two Pilates Machines in One

These convertible machines are designed for practitioners and studios wanting the most complete Pilates experience without the floor space required for two separate pieces of equipment. Twin drop-in mats allow easy conversion between reformer and Cadillac modes, giving you access to hundreds of exercises on one machine.

The Elina Pilates cadillac reformer range includes handcrafted wooden models and the innovative Elite Cadillac-Reformer, each built to commercial-grade standards for studio or home use.

Cadillac Reformer (Convertible)

The Cadillac Reformer is described by Elina Pilates as the most complete machine in their catalogue. This convertible apparatus delivers full Cadillac and full reformer functionality in a handcrafted design. The twin drop-in mats are lightweight and easy for one person to handle when switching between modes. The system includes an anodised aluminium push-through bar adjustable to three heights with safety strap, padded trapeze bar with spring collars, solid roll-down bar, and a complete spring set covering light, medium and heavy resistance. The compact footprint makes it ideal for studios and home spaces where floor area is limited.

Elite Cadillac-Reformer™

The Elite Cadillac-Reformer™ represents the pinnacle of Elina Pilates engineering. This model features innovative systems including a multi-position quick-change foot bar, double spring bar and precision carriage system mounted on a two-piece rail for exceptionally smooth and quiet gliding. The eight-wheel carriage system — four vertical wheels for support and four adjustable side wheels for alignment — delivers studio-grade performance. Constructed from stainless steel, anodised aluminium and Canadian maple wood with a smooth glossy varnish finish. The vertically adjustable horizontal bar allows users to define their spring connection height for exercises performed on or off the bed.

What the Cadillac Frame Adds

The trapeze frame transforms a standard reformer into a complete Pilates system. The overhead structure provides attachment points for:

• Push-through bar exercises for spinal articulation and upper body work
• Roll-down bar movements for core control and flexibility
• Trapeze and hanging exercises for decompression and advanced training
• Leg and arm spring work from multiple angles
• Suspended movements using fuzzies, loops and stability slings

These exercises complement traditional reformer work, creating a more comprehensive training programme on a single machine.

Who Benefits from a Cadillac Reformer

Cadillac reformers suit practitioners wanting maximum versatility. Rehabilitation professionals use the trapeze components for supported movements and gentle spinal work. Studio owners benefit from offering both reformer classes and Cadillac training without purchasing separate equipment. Home practitioners gain access to the full classical Pilates repertoire in one machine. The convertible design also suits instructors who teach varied programmes and need to switch between reformer and Cadillac exercises within a single session.

Space and Installation

Despite combining two machines, cadillac reformers require only marginally more space than a reformer with tower. The trapeze frame adds height rather than floor area. Ceiling height should accommodate the full frame plus overhead exercises — check individual product specifications for exact dimensions. Weight capacity is rated at 150kg for the user. The equipment ships with all springs, bars, straps and accessories included.
