Pilates Legacy Reformer ®
Joseph Pilates' original concepts in a state-of-the-art apparatus.
Legacy Reformer ® Description & Pricing
The beauty of this equipment lies in its efficiency, The mechanics mirror the efficiency of the classical Pilates system, so the user focuses on the work, not on adjusting equipment. This allows complete concentration on the precise movement and flowing transitions. The result is maximum benefit from the work."
–Bob Liekens, Power Pilates
Mirroring the efficiency of the classical Pilates system
A traditional Reformer, the Pilates Legacy represents the essence of Joseph Pilates' original concepts in a state-of-the-art apparatus. Developed in collaboration with Bob Liekens, Susan Moran and Dr. Howard Sichel of Power Pilates, the dimensions and adjustable carriage stops are ideally suited to the biomechanics of the classical Pilates system. Other features include oak-tanned leather straps with handles, a 3-position footbar with padded uprights, deluxe memory foam padding, and shoulder rests with a wide base and extra padding on the top. Stock item: Strata Rock Maple, black upholstery. Limited Lifetime Warranty.

Legacy Reformer Accessories
Tower Retrofit Kit
Transform your Legacy Reformer* into the most versatile Pilates machine available! Our Tower Retrofit Kit creates a space-saving Pilates Reformer / Tower Combination that enables you to work in multiple planes of resistance on a moving platform. Add new exercises to your repertoire to increase abdominal strength, core stability, flexibility and balance, without requiring any additional space for your equipment.
Engineered and built for stability, our unique attachment system disperses the stress throughout the frame. We also offer the easiest conversion system: 2 mats fit over the carriage and on top of the frame, so there's no need to lift and turn over the carriage. Mats can also be used as floor mats. These mats won't slide – non-skid feet hold them firmly together in place on the floor.

- Twin mats are easy for one person to handle.
- Sturdy vertical tower frame.
- Aluminum push-through bar can be assembled as 3 or 4-sided bar. Adjustable to 3 heights.
