WELCOME TO YOUR PILATES REFORMER
Hi there!
I’d like to personally congratulate you on making the decision to improve your
healthbody, mind and spirit by purchasing this wonderful home machine.
As you now know, Pilates (originally called Contrology) is the only method of
exercise that truly strengthens you from within, while aligning and toning your
core and entire body.
It helps us combat the modern lifestyle, which causes us imbalanced muscles,
and weaknesses due to limited activity in our lives. No one wants a bad back,
right? And we can all do without stooped-over postures with weak muscles that
do not help us with our daily lives.
You now have the opportunity to tone and re-shape your whole body, while
building your fitness from any level. That’s what I love about this machine...
anyone can do it. You just need to decide that you want to feel and look better,
and commit yourself to this workout schedule at least three times per week.
Give yourself at least 90 days of being committed and you will see and feel
changes you have never had.
After 90 days (of sticking to it with energy and following the correct technique),
you will have engrained a new habit and it is then part of your lifestyle. You
have then joined the rest of us who ensure that we fit in Pilates to help our life
be more energetic, clam, mindful and of course, happier.
You must find that discipline and reason why you are doing this, so you can
stay committed on the days you ‘don’t feel like it.’ This is when you need to do
it the most to breakthrough to those results!
Some of the changes you can look forward to are:
• Increased abdominal strength to support the spine and posture
• Stronger, tighter, more toned muscles (without the bulk)
• Less back and neck pain
• Improved flexibility
• More effective breathing
• A renewed vitality and energy
I would love to hear what other benefits your experience, because it is different
for all of us. Enjoy your journey and welcome to what will be a new level of
health, well-being and vitality for you.
Yours in health and Pilates,
Vanessa Bartlett

while exercising, the user feels faintness, dizziness, pain, or shortness of breath, he or she must
stop immediately.
Use only for the intended exercises. Do not modify the machine in anyway. Modifying the
machine will nullify your warranty.

checks have taken place, each Reformer is disassembled and packaged.

ASSEMBLY
The Foldable Pilates Reformer has been designed to be easy to assemble.
1. Use a hammer and chisel or strong screwdriver to pry open the wooden lid. Remove all
components and place onto a clean surface. Some parts may need to be wiped with a clean
cloth.
2. Make sure there is a clear space where you can fold out the frame of the Pilates Reformer.
The main parts of the Reformer are the Carriage / Bed and the Reformer Frame. As its name
suggest, the ‘foldable’ reformer can be lifted out and then unfolded to its full length.
3. The 6 metal feet are contained in a cardboard box inside. Screw each of the 6 feet into
place under the reformer. These can easily be unscrewed when you store your reformer.
Apply a spray of lubrication if required.
4. The four springs should be attached to the under carriage of the Carriage / Bed. If not, place
the two YELLOW power cords in the middle positions and the two GREEN cords on the
outside two hooks. This will provide the maximum amount of resistance. You can adjust the
springs as you wish for different exercises and levels of resistance.
5. Place the reformer Carriage / Bed onto the aluminium frame within the wooden frame. The
direction of the cart means the shoulder rests are situated in the centre of the reformer.
6. Attach the frame of the shoulder pads into the four holes which the screws go in to. You may
need to tap hard to push panel into alignment so you can then screw in the black handle
holders at the centre.
7. Next, place the Cardio Rebounder /Jump Board firmly into the holes at the end of the
frame.
The rebounder is designed to be firm to give the correct stability for exercising. The first few
times you may experience it being very tight when inserting and removing. This is normal in
most cases. If required, spray a small amount of WD40 (or similar lubricant) on the bottom of
the poles. Be certain to insert both poles in at the same angle and at the same rate / time. If
one side is inserted too far, it will be difficult to insert the other side.
After a few times, the powder coating will become smoother and insertion / removal will
become easier.
8. Use the Spring Clip to attach the rope to each of the Double Loop Straps if they are not
already connected. Feed the free end of each length of rope DOWN through the pulleys.
Feed each side of rope through the silver rope guide, then through the Roller. Before tying
off to the second Silver Guide, try to make sure the same length of rope is extended through
so the straps sit at the same length. Rope lengths are fully adjustable so you can quickly and
easily adjust your positioning for different exercises.

9. Attach the shoulder rests by placing the shoulder pad plate with the padded part facing the
rebounder end of the Reformer
10. Slide the 4 screws in to the corresponding holes. You may need to tap (quite hard) to ensure
the screws reach the furtherest point and the middle hole aligns
11. Screw in the footbar. The footbar has 4 different adjustment levels which are easily changed
by using a simple pull and lock system, making it perfect for both different user heights and
various exercises.

Now your reformer should be ready to go!
You can fold away your Reformer whenever it is not in use by unscrewing the feet, removing
the carriage off of the frame, and folding the frame in half.
We hope you are happy using our product. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any
questions, we are here to help.
Kind regards,
Byron Bay Pilates Co.
