What Is a Pilates Tower?
A Pilates tower is a vertical frame that attaches to the end of a reformer or wall and allows you to perform Cadillac-inspired exercises using springs, roll bars, and push-through bars. It adds a whole new dimension of movement — ideal for spine work, strength, rehab, and flexibility training.
When combined with a reformer, it becomes the ultimate hybrid machine — and that’s exactly what the Queen was built to be.
Why We Built the Queen Reformer with Tower
As studio owners and instructors ourselves, we found that most “reformer with tower” systems either:
- Weren’t sturdy enough for daily use
- Were overly complicated to assemble
- Didn’t have the versatility needed for pro-level programming
So we created the Queen Reformer with Tower to deliver:
- Studio-grade durability
- Precise spring resistance
- Modular tower height with balanced support
- Premium carriage glide and padding
This is not a budget machine — it's a serious tool for serious Pilates work.
What Makes the Queen Unique?
Here’s what sets the Queen Reformer with Tower apart from other tower Pilates systems on the market:
- Extra-long carriage — designed for full-body range of motion
- 8-wheel gliding system — for smooth, whisper-quiet movement
- Upright Tower System — includes springs, push-through bar, roll-down bar & eyelets
- Adjustable ropes + padded footbar — comfort + performance
- Reformer + Cadillac + Tower — all in one compact footprint
This is ideal for teachers who want to move between traditional reformer, Cadillac-inspired work, and vertical resistance seamlessly — without switching machines.
Who Is This Reformer Best For?
The Queen Reformer with Tower is built for:
- 🏋️♀️ Pilates instructors who teach both group and 1:1
- 🏠 Home users who want studio-quality in their own space
- 🧑⚕️ Clinicians and rehab specialists looking for adaptability
