LOAD ADJUSTMENT
The resistance of the PLATFORM(7) can be adjusted by
securing the TENSION CORDS(10) in the slots on the FRONT
FRAME(1). You can achieve various levels of resistance by
securing di󰀨erent numbers of the TENSION CORDS(10) in
the slots.

HEADREST ADJUSTMENT
The HEADREST(14) on the PLATFORM(7) can be positioned
at or at an incline by simply pivoting the support bracket
underneath the HEADREST(14).
ROPE LENGTH ADJUSTMENT
The position of the HAND/FOOT STRAP(20) can be adjusted by pulling the ROPE(18) through the

OPERATIONAL INSTRUCTIONS
14
HEADPAD ADJUSTMENT AND USE
The HEADPAD(60) is designed to support the natural curve
of your neck. It can be used to provide comfort, support and
postural alignment for reformer exercises that are performed
while lying on your back. Do not use the HEADPAD(60) for
exercises that require you to lift your hips higher than your
head.
With the HEADREST(14) in the flat position, place the
HEADPAD(60) on top of the HEADREST(14) with the
thickest part of the HEADPAD(60) under your neck. Make
sure that the elastic strap on the HEADPAD(60) is around
the HEADREST(14).
Make sure that both FOAM PADS(16) are in
the platform when using the HEADPAD(60)
attached to the HEADREST(14).

15
OPERATIONAL INSTRUCTIONS
Ideal rope length will vary depending on your height and limb length. To determine your ideal rope length,
begin by placing the hand/foot straps over the shoulder rests as shown below. Adjust the ropes so they are
taut. For complete rope length adjustment instructions, see additional Rope Length Adjustment instructions
in this Owner’s Manual.
CUSTOMIZING ROPE LENGTH
Next, lie on the reformer with your hands in the straps with shoulders against the shoulder rests. Reach
your hands toward the ceiling until they are directly over the back edge of the reformer platform as shown
below. In this position, the reformer platform should be at rest with no tension on the ropes. If there is still
tension on the ropes in this position, lengthen the ropes. If you lose tension before reaching the arm position
shown below, shorten the ropes.

OPERATIONAL INSTRUCTIONS
16
Standard Setting- the top hole
The standard height setting for the reformer pulleys is the top setting. At the top setting, the pull of the ropes
provides the most support and feedback for the body. Place your pulleys at the top setting to most easily
achieve proper form and to engage the core muscles.
Variable settings- lower holes
You can add variety to your routine by using di󰀨erent pulley settings. The lower you set the pulleys, the
less guidance and support you receive from the ropes. By providing less guidance and support, the lower
settings further challenge strength and coordination.

way back to the top end or rear frame of the machine. Tip your machine on its side, bend the machine at
the hinge, and simply slide the platform o󰀨 the frame.
Turn the platform upside down so it is cord side up. Using a crescent wrench and at head screwdriver,

3. To move the AeroPilates® Premier Studio: First, attach one of the TENSION CORDS(10) in the slot
on the FRONT FRAME(1) to prevent the PLATFORM(7) from moving. Second, grasp the FRONT
and REAR FRAME(1, 2) to remove the AeroPilates® Premier Studio from its stand. Third, lift up
the AeroPilates® Premier Studio from the REAR FRAME(2) to move the AeroPilates® Premier
Studio with the transport wheels on the FRONT FRAME(1). Fourth, grasp both ends of the stand to
move it.

How you begin your exercise program depends on your physical condition. If you have been inactive for
several years or are severely overweight, start slowly and increase your workout time gradually. Increase
your workout intensity gradually by monitoring your heart rate while you exercise.
Initially you may only be able to exercise within your target zone for a few minutes; however, your aerobic
capacity will improve over the next six to eight weeks. It is important to pace yourself while you exercise
so you don't tire too quickly.
Measure your heart rate periodically during your workout by stopping the
exercise but continuing to move your legs or walk around. Place two or
three ngers on your wrist and take a six second heartbeat count. Multiply
the results by ten to nd your heart rate. For example, if your six second
heartbeat count is 14, your heart rate is 140 beats per minute. A six second
count is used because your heart rate will drop rapidly when you stop
exercising. Adjust the intensity of your exercise until your heart rate is at the
proper level.
wrist pulse
Remember to follow these essentials:
Have your doctor review your training and diet programs.
Begin your training program slowly with realistic goals that have been set by you and your physician.
Warm up before you exercise and cool down after you work out.
Take your pulse periodically during your workout and strive to stay within a range of 60% (lower
intensity) to 90% (higher intensity) of your maximum heart rate zone. Start at the lower intensity, and
build up to higher intensity as you become more aerobically t.
If you feel dizzy or lightheaded you should slow down or stop exercising.
To determine if you are working out at the correct intensity, use a heart rate monitor or use the table
below. For effective aerobic exercise, your heart rate should be maintained at a level between 60%
and 90% of your maximum heart rate. If just starting an exercise program, work out at the low end of
your target heart rate zone. As your aerobic capacity improves, gradually increase the intensity of your
workout by increasing your heart rate.
CONDITIONING GUIDELINES
Target Heart Rate Zone Estimated by Age*
* For cardiorespiratory training benefits, the American College of Sports Medicine recommends
working out within a heart rate range of 55% to 90% of maximum heart rate. To predict the
maximum heart rate, the following formula was used: 220 - Age = predicted maximum heart rate
