Reformer Tower Programming Reference, Pilates Cadillac Combo Exercise Guide for Instructors, Push-Through Bar & Springs PDF

You bought a reformer with a tower. Most weeks the tower does two stretches and then waits while the class happens on the carriage. The whole vertical repertoire is right there on the upright. What was missing is a way to program it.

This is the tower repertoire, compiled for the reformer-with-tower combo and organised so you can plan with it. Forty-three exercises across the push-through bar, the leg springs, the arm springs, the roll-down bar, and the combo work you can teach without ever leaving the carriage. For each one you get where it lives on the machine, the relative spring set-up, what the tower adds that the flat carriage cannot, when to drop it into a class, and the one fault to watch.

Built for instructors who teach on a combo machine and want to use all of it. British English, relative spring load throughout, so it works on whatever tower you teach on.

WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
✓ Turns an underused tower into a programmable part of every class
✓ Find an exercise by station, or find one by the training effect you want

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
• Digital download. No physical item is shipped.
• Two PDF files: an A4 booklet and a set of printable reference cards.
• Scoped to the reformer-with-tower combo. It runs most of the Cadillac and Trapeze Table repertoire, without the overhead trapeze, sling, or full cross-bar work. Where an exercise needs the full Cadillac, the entry says so.
• Spring colours are not universal between makers. Every load here is relative, with a "calibrate your tower" page to map it to your machine.

This reference is a professional teaching tool for qualified Pilates instructors. It describes how to program tower exercises for healthy clients at general fitness levels on a reformer-with-tower combo. It is about apparatus programming and set-up, not assessment, diagnosis, treatment, or how to perform the movements. Where a client has an injury, a medical condition, or is pregnant or postnatal, that is a matter for a suitably qualified professional. Work within your own scope of practice and certification. Bar heights and spring tensions vary by machine. Always check your own tower.
