I've been wanting a Cadillac ever since I started doing Pilates. Go big or go home, right? Well, I went small previously and got an Aero Pilates reformer/tower combo and it was okay except it was very basic and didn't have enough springs for my liking and was just basic. So I finally splurged and got the Private Pilates Cadillac Reformer, because why not get the most comprehensive one when you're buying your third reformer, right?
There were some hiccups with DHL with shipping (they kind of sucked) but Nina at Pilates Reformer Plus was a godsend. She kept me informed of the delivery, handled the mishaps that kept coming up with DHL and without her assistance I would probably be crying in a corner right now waiting for my new equipment to get here.
Once it finally arrived setup was a breeze. My only complaint is that it doesn't include the lambswool fuzzies, but rather some basic straps but I missed the memo on that when ordering.
The equipment itself is wonderful. Very sturdy, can easily handle my 190# frame holding onto the bars and flipping myself over thinking I'm ready for some advanced acrobatic routines. And it's nice to have proper springs so when I'm following along with my Pilates Anytime workout and they say "2 reds and a blue" I actually have 2 reds and a blue, not just 2 blues and 2 yellows like the Aero Pilates equipment.
It's also so much quieter than the Aero. Sturdier ropes and pulleys, and the short one fits just fine in my standard, open ceiling basement that has about 84" of clearance.
If you're debating on equipment I definitely recommend this one and especially the great customer service from Nina!
