What Exercises Does the Cadillac Enable

The Cadillac's overhead frame and spring attachments allow exercises that no other single apparatus can replicate — including hanging work, full spinal traction, shoulder girdle mobilization, and the classical flying squirrel and hanging series. In rehabilitation, the frame provides safe support for clients recovering from spinal injuries, hip replacements, and neurological conditions. In advanced work, it enables the full Pilates repertoire as Joseph Pilates originally intended.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Pilates Cadillac?
A Pilates Cadillac (also called a trapeze table) is an apparatus consisting of a padded table with a full overhead metal frame. Springs, bars, and straps attach to the frame at various heights, enabling hundreds of exercises for rehabilitation, fitness, and classical Pilates programming. It is the most comprehensive single apparatus in the Pilates system.
Do I need a full Cadillac or will a reformer-combo work?
For most studios, a reformer with a half Cadillac tower covers 80–90% of the full Cadillac repertoire at significantly lower cost and floor space. A full standalone Cadillac is most justified for teacher training programs, rehabilitation-focused studios, and practices running classical Pilates lineages where the hanging exercises and leg spring work require the full table.
Can I add a Cadillac to my existing reformer?
In many cases, yes. Align Pilates sells full and half Cadillac frames designed to pair with their A8 and C-Series reformers. Elina and Metalife also offer tower conversion kits. Cross-brand compatibility is rare — confirm compatibility with us before ordering. Call 866-861-6317.
