BASI Reformer with Tower: Tower Repertoire Without Buying a Cadillac
The BASI Systems Reformer with Tower is a Pilates reformer with a full vertical tower built onto the same beech frame. The frame is 95.3" long, 27.5" wide, stands 74.9" with the tower and footbar, and weighs 224.8 lb. It ships with 13 springs (5 reformer, 8 tower), EPS pulleys on the tower, a Twin Mat Conversion for raised mat work, and four F2 ports.

Best For
- Instructors who want tower work without buying a full Cadillac
- Studios with moderate ceilings where a Trapeze Table will not fit
- PT clinics adding overhead spring work for shoulder and spinal rehab
- Instructors outgrowing a standalone reformer, one frame instead of two
Not Ideal For
- Anyone who needs the trapeze swing. This tower has none. Buy the Reformer Combo
- Rooms under 7 ft ceiling. The tower stands 74.9" before clearance
- Buyers who only run reformer classes. The BASI Systems Reformer costs less
- Price-first buyers. This is a hand-built beech frame
Why RecovAthlete Carries This
The Reformer with Tower is the most common upgrade for instructors who started on a standalone reformer. It closes the gap between a basic setup and a full studio without doubling the floor space. For PT clinics and boutique studios it is usually the right balance between repertoire depth and square footage.
What the BASI Reformer with Tower Does
- Reformer, tower and raised mat in one frame. The Twin Mat Conversion turns the carriage into a mat platform. Converts to a Reformer Combo later.
- EPS pulleys on the tower. Spring positions move across the height and width of the tower frame. Push-through bar height adjusts too.
- 13 springs. 5 on the reformer (3 red, 1 yellow, 1 blue) plus 8 on the tower (2 yellow, 2 long yellow, 2 blue, 2 red).
- 3-level gear bar. Each gear step adds 3 to 4% resistance, finer than swapping a spring mid-exercise.
- Longest and widest carriage in the category. Tall clients finish the movement instead of running out of rail.
- Four F2 ports and silicon wheels. Upgrade later, reposition without a crew.
The BASI Reformer with Tower: carriage, tower spring positions and push-through bar.

Reformer with Tower vs Reformer vs Reformer Combo
Three ways into the BASI system. The tower is the middle step, and the difference is the trapeze.
| Dimension | Reformer with Tower | BASI Reformer | Reformer Combo |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tower | Full vertical tower, no trapeze | Half tower with EPS | Full tower with trapeze swing |
| Springs | 13 | 5 | 17 |
| Height | 74.9" | 39.4" | 76.7" |
| Weight | 224.8 lb | 197.3 lb | 317.4 lb |
| Price | $9,950 | $6,850 | $11,900 |
| Best for | Push-through and roll-down bar work, no room for a Cadillac | Group classes and fleet studios | Full classical repertoire, one apparatus slot |
One honest limitation. The tower is not a Cadillac. You get the push-through bar, the roll-down bar and eight tower springs, but no trapeze swing and no full mat table. The Reformer Combo adds the trapeze and four more springs for $1,800 more. If the trapeze repertoire matters to your teaching, pay the $1,800. If it does not, this frame gives you most of the programming for less money and less ceiling.
Common Questions About the BASI Reformer with Tower
How much does the BASI Reformer with Tower cost?
The BASI Systems Reformer with Tower is $9,950 plus freight. For reference, the BASI Systems Reformer is $6,850 and the Reformer Combo is $11,900. So the tower costs $3,150 over the plain reformer, and the trapeze on the Combo costs $1,800 over this. Financing runs through Affirm, Brickhouse Capital, Reliant Capital and Acorn Finance. Multi-unit studio pricing: call 866-861-6317.
Does the tower replace a Cadillac?
Partly. The tower gives you push-through bar, roll-down bar and eight tower springs, which covers most of the Cadillac spring repertoire. It does not include the trapeze swing or the full mat table. For the complete classical Cadillac work, see the BASI Cadillac or the Reformer Combo.
How is this different from the Reformer Combo?
The Reformer Combo adds the trapeze swing and four more springs, and stands 76.7" against this frame's 74.9". Everything else, the carriage, the EPS pulleys, the gear bar, the beech frame, is the same. If you want the trapeze, buy the Combo. If you do not, this saves you money and ceiling.
Can I upgrade this to full Cadillac functionality later?
Yes. The frame converts to a Reformer Combo. The four F2 ports are built in from day one, so the frame is not a dead end. Call 866-861-6317 and we will price the conversion.
What is the Twin Mat Conversion?
Two mats that sit over the carriage and frame, turning the reformer into a raised mat platform. It is included in the box. Mat programming on the same footprint, no second apparatus.
What ceiling height do I need?
The tower and footbar stand 74.9" (6 ft 3 in). Plan a minimum 7 ft ceiling, and 8 ft for comfortable overhead work. Extension legs raise the frame further if you order them.
Is assembly required?
Yes. Plan two people and roughly 45 to 60 minutes. No specialist tools. Silicon wheels let one person reposition the frame afterwards. The manual (PDF) covers the procedure.
Is financing available?
Yes. Affirm, Brickhouse Capital, Reliant Capital and Acorn Finance are available at checkout. Multi-unit commercial orders: call 866-861-6317.
Shipping, Delivery and Installation
- Standard shipping is curbside, 10 to 12 weeks. The carrier brings it as close to your door as the site allows, provided there are no obstacles at delivery.
- White glove delivery is available. This adds inside delivery to the room of your choice. Call 866-861-6317 for a white glove quote before ordering.

Yes. The frame converts to a Reformer Combo. The four F2 ports are built in from day one, so the frame is not a dead end. Call 866-861-6317 and we will price the conversion.
What is the Twin Mat Conversion?
Two mats that sit over the carriage and frame, turning the reformer into a raised mat platform. It is included in the box. Mat programming on the same footprint, no second apparatus.
What ceiling height do I need?
The tower and footbar stand 74.9" (6 ft 3 in). Plan a minimum 7 ft ceiling, and 8 ft for comfortable overhead work. Extension legs raise the frame further if you order them.
Is assembly required?
Yes. Plan two people and roughly 45 to 60 minutes. No specialist tools. Silicon wheels let one person reposition the frame afterwards. The manual (PDF) covers the procedure.
Is financing available?
Yes. Affirm, Brickhouse Capital, Reliant Capital and Acorn Finance are available at checkout. Multi-unit commercial orders: call 866-861-6317.
Shipping, Delivery and Installation
- Standard shipping is curbside, 10 to 12 weeks. The carrier brings it as close to your door as the site allows, provided there are no obstacles at delivery.

Financing for Recovery and Fitness Equipment
Buying for yourself, spread the cost through Affirm at checkout. Buying for a gym, clinic, spa, or studio, apply with one of four business lenders and put the whole room on a single application.
RecovAthlete has no control over any financing decision. Approval is based on your creditworthiness and is solely the lender's decision.
Personal purchase
Affirm at checkout. Rates run 0% to 36% APR based on your credit profile. Soft check to prequalify, so no impact on your score. No prepayment penalty.
Business purchase
Brickhouse Capital, Reliant Capital, Acorn Finance, or KWIPPED. Apply with two of the four and compare. Financed equipment can qualify for a Section 179 deduction. Confirm with your accountant.
Financing by Equipment Category
Every page below has real prices, real monthly payment examples, and the lender comparison for that category. Pick the one you are buying.
Hyperbaric Chamber Financing
Soft-shell and hard-shell HBOT chambers. Session-volume payback math for clinics.
Sauna Financing
Infrared, traditional, barrel, and commercial saunas.
Cold Plunge Financing
Home tubs through commercial chillers and Medical Frozen units.
Red Light Therapy Financing
Panels, pods, and full-body beds for home and clinic.
PEMF Therapy Financing
PEMF mats, systems, and practitioner devices.
Vibration Plate Financing
Whole body vibration platforms for home, studio, and clinic.
Gym Equipment Financing
Home gyms through full commercial strength floors. Finance the floor, not the machine.
Treadmill Financing
Walking pads, commercial belts, and self-powered curved decks.
Commercial Recovery Equipment Financing
Building a recovery room? One quote, one purchase order, one application.
Building a Recovery Room?
Most business buyers are not buying one machine. They are building a room. Sauna, cold plunge, red light, vibration, hyperbaric, cryotherapy, and halotherapy all finance on the same paper through the same four lenders, and RecovAthlete quotes every category on one purchase order.
That means one freight schedule, one install window, and one financing application instead of six. It also gets you a better rate, because a bigger number on one application beats six small ones with six hard inquiries.
See commercial recovery equipment financing, or call 866-861-6317 and we will price the room.
Which Lender Should You Apply With?
| Lender | Type | Amount | Speed | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Affirm | Consumer, at checkout | Order total | Seconds | Personal purchases. 0% to 36% APR based on credit. Soft check to prequalify. |
| Brickhouse Capital | Direct equipment lender | Up to $250K on a one-page application, $1M+ with financials | ~24 hours | A full room or a full floor. Credit decisions made in-house. Tied to the business, not your personal credit report. |
| Reliant Capital | Lender and broker | Up to $500K application-only, $5M with financials | 2 to 4 hours | Medical, aesthetic, and wellness. Deferred payment options. New or used equipment. |
| Acorn Finance | Lending marketplace | $1,000 to $100,000 | 60 seconds to prequalify | Comparing offers. One application goes to 30 or more lenders with no impact to your score. |
| KWIPPED (APPROVE) | Lender marketplace | Minimum $1,500 equipment value | 60-second application | Larger commercial orders. Lenders compete, which usually returns the best APR. Businesses only. |

Financing Questions
What are Affirm's rates?
Pay in 4 splits the purchase into four interest-free payments charged every two weeks. Monthly installments spread the cost over a longer term, with rates from 0% to 36% APR depending on your credit profile. You see the exact terms before you agree to anything. No origination fees, no prepayment penalty, no late fees.
Will applying hurt my credit score?
Prequalification does not. Affirm and Acorn Finance both run a soft check to show you offers, which has no impact on your score. Proceeding with a monthly installment plan or a business loan may involve a hard inquiry. That is why it pays to prequalify with more than one lender first and only proceed with the best offer.
Can I finance equipment for a business?
Yes, and for most business buyers it is the better route. Brickhouse funds up to $250,000 on a one-page application with no financial statements. Reliant approves in 2 to 4 hours. Business financing is usually tied to the business rather than your personal credit report, and financed equipment can qualify for a Section 179 deduction. Confirm the tax position with your accountant.
Should I finance each machine separately?
No. This is the most common and most expensive mistake. Separate applications mean separate hard inquiries, separate payments, and a worse rate on each, because every individual ticket is small. Get one quote from RecovAthlete covering everything you are buying, including freight, and put that single number on one application.
Does Section 179 apply to financed equipment?
Financed equipment can qualify. Section 179 lets US businesses deduct the cost of qualifying equipment in the year it is placed in service, and financing the purchase does not by itself disqualify it. The equipment must be in service, not merely ordered, within the tax year. Annual limits and eligibility rules are set by the IRS and change year to year, so consult your accountant.
Can freight and installation be financed?
Freight, yes. On Affirm it is part of the order total at checkout. On business financing, put freight on the RecovAthlete quote and the whole quote amount goes on the application. Installation and room construction are harder, because some equipment lenders will not fund non-equipment costs. Ask the lender before you sign.
Can I pay off early?
Yes. Affirm charges no prepayment penalties. Acorn Finance and most business lenders also allow early payoff without penalty.
Not sure which option fits?
Tell us what you are buying and whether it is personal or for a business. We will point you at the right two lenders and quote freight and install as one number, which is also the number that goes on the application.

The BASI Systems Reformer with Tower is a Pilates reformer with a full vertical tower built onto the same beech frame. The frame is 95.3" long, 27.5" wide, stands 74.9" with the tower and footbar, and weighs 224.8 lb. It ships with 13 springs (5 reformer, 8 tower), EPS pulleys on the tower, a Twin Mat Conversion for raised mat work, and four F2 ports.

Best For
- Instructors who want tower work without buying a full Cadillac
- Studios with moderate ceilings where a Trapeze Table will not fit
- PT clinics adding overhead spring work for shoulder and spinal rehab
- Instructors outgrowing a standalone reformer, one frame instead of two
Not Ideal For
- Anyone who needs the trapeze swing. This tower has none. Buy the Reformer Combo
- Rooms under 7 ft ceiling. The tower stands 74.9" before clearance
- Buyers who only run reformer classes. The BASI Systems Reformer costs less
- Price-first buyers. This is a hand-built beech frame
Why RecovAthlete Carries This
The Reformer with Tower is the most common upgrade for instructors who started on a standalone reformer. It closes the gap between a basic setup and a full studio without doubling the floor space. For PT clinics and boutique studios it is usually the right balance between repertoire depth and square footage.
What the BASI Reformer with Tower Does
- Reformer, tower and raised mat in one frame. The Twin Mat Conversion turns the carriage into a mat platform. Converts to a Reformer Combo later.
- EPS pulleys on the tower. Spring positions move across the height and width of the tower frame. Push-through bar height adjusts too.
- 13 springs. 5 on the reformer (3 red, 1 yellow, 1 blue) plus 8 on the tower (2 yellow, 2 long yellow, 2 blue, 2 red).
- 3-level gear bar. Each gear step adds 3 to 4% resistance, finer than swapping a spring mid-exercise.
- Longest and widest carriage in the category. Tall clients finish the movement instead of running out of rail.
- Four F2 ports and silicon wheels. Upgrade later, reposition without a crew.
The BASI Reformer with Tower: carriage, tower spring positions and push-through bar.

Reformer with Tower vs Reformer vs Reformer Combo
Three ways into the BASI system. The tower is the middle step, and the difference is the trapeze.
| Dimension | Reformer with Tower | BASI Reformer | Reformer Combo |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tower | Full vertical tower, no trapeze | Half tower with EPS | Full tower with trapeze swing |
| Springs | 13 | 5 | 17 |
| Height | 74.9" | 39.4" | 76.7" |
| Weight | 224.8 lb | 197.3 lb | 317.4 lb |
| Price | $9,950 | $6,850 | $11,900 |
| Best for | Push-through and roll-down bar work, no room for a Cadillac | Group classes and fleet studios | Full classical repertoire, one apparatus slot |
One honest limitation. The tower is not a Cadillac. You get the push-through bar, the roll-down bar and eight tower springs, but no trapeze swing and no full mat table. The Reformer Combo adds the trapeze and four more springs for $1,800 more. If the trapeze repertoire matters to your teaching, pay the $1,800. If it does not, this frame gives you most of the programming for less money and less ceiling.
Common Questions About the BASI Reformer with Tower
How much does the BASI Reformer with Tower cost?
The BASI Systems Reformer with Tower is $9,950 plus freight. For reference, the BASI Systems Reformer is $6,850 and the Reformer Combo is $11,900. So the tower costs $3,150 over the plain reformer, and the trapeze on the Combo costs $1,800 over this. Financing runs through Affirm, Brickhouse Capital, Reliant Capital and Acorn Finance. Multi-unit studio pricing: call 866-861-6317.
Does the tower replace a Cadillac?
Partly. The tower gives you push-through bar, roll-down bar and eight tower springs, which covers most of the Cadillac spring repertoire. It does not include the trapeze swing or the full mat table. For the complete classical Cadillac work, see the BASI Cadillac or the Reformer Combo.
How is this different from the Reformer Combo?
The Reformer Combo adds the trapeze swing and four more springs, and stands 76.7" against this frame's 74.9". Everything else, the carriage, the EPS pulleys, the gear bar, the beech frame, is the same. If you want the trapeze, buy the Combo. If you do not, this saves you money and ceiling.
Can I upgrade this to full Cadillac functionality later?
Yes. The frame converts to a Reformer Combo. The four F2 ports are built in from day one, so the frame is not a dead end. Call 866-861-6317 and we will price the conversion.
