CADILLACS - TRAPEZE
The Cadillac — also known as the trapeze table — is the most complete piece of classical Pilates equipment. Originally developed by Joseph Pilates, this full-height apparatus features a bed-like platform surrounded by a steel frame with springs, bars, straps and a hanging trapeze. It enables exercises that cannot be performed on any other equipment, including suspended movements, deep spinal stretches and advanced rehabilitation work.
Pilates Cadillac and Trapeze Tables for Studios in Australia
Elina Pilates Cadillacs are built for professional studios, rehabilitation clinics and serious home practitioners who want the full classical Pilates experience. Each model features premium construction, comprehensive spring systems and all the attachments needed for complete trapeze training.
What Makes the Cadillac Unique?
The Cadillac offers training possibilities that no other Pilates apparatus can match:
- Full trapeze frame — an overhead structure for hanging, swinging and suspended exercises
- Push-through bar — a spring-loaded horizontal bar for pressing, stretching and spinal articulation
- Roll-down bar — a wooden bar for controlled spinal flexion and arm work
- Leg and arm springs — vertical springs for resistance work in lying, sitting and standing positions
- Trapeze bar — a padded hanging bar for inverted exercises and deep stretches
- Fuzzies and loops — soft attachments for comfortable hand and foot positioning
The elevated bed height makes the Cadillac ideal for rehabilitation work, allowing practitioners and therapists easy access to clients during assisted exercises.
