The R8 Pro Pilates Reformer is named after its Retro (8 wheel) design, which emulates Joseph Pilates's original "classic Reformers" in various ways. Notable features include the carriage and foot bar distances, dimensions, and spring bar positions, as well as the height of the foot bar and Reformer itself.
Additionally, the R8 Pro utilizes height-adjustable rope risers and silent ropes instead of traditional leather straps, while maintaining a pulley position similar to that of a classic Reformer. Despite these traditional elements, the R8 Pro is a modern machine with 4 foot bar heights, including a flat position, and various rapid adjustment systems.
