This includes the carriage and foot bar distances, carriage dimensions, spring bar positions, foot bar height, and Reformer height. Whilst the R8-Pro uses height-adjustable rope risers and our Silent Ropes instead of leather straps, the design ensures the pulley position closely resembles that of a classic machine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDespite these classic features, the R8-Pro is a contemporary Reformer which has been designed with 4 foot bar heights, including a flat position and many rapid adjustment systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe R8-Pro comes with 4 Springs, but uniquely has the option (and space) for adding a 5th spring should you wish. It also includes our patented Rapid Change spring bar with 3 Spring Bar positions for quick and seamless carriage position adjustments. The R8-Pro ropes can also be quickly adjusted using our Pro Rope adjusters that conveniently sit behind the shoulder rests.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe R8 is our first Reformer in a “light commercial” category, meaning it’s ideal for both home studios or those commercial set ups with light usage. For a full list of differences, please refer to our Reformer Comparison Tool on our website, but please note that this Reformer cannot accommodate a Half Cadillac Tower. The R8 Pro warranty covers domestic usage and includes limited light commercial usage — up to 20 hours per week. This Reformer also has a user weight limit of 120kg. For a full breakdown please see the warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is an incredibly compact Reformer which does not sacrifice on quality or performance. You can free-stand the R8 Pro with an optional Jump Board, and it’s portable too with wheels to reposition or move, meaning it’s a great choice for a multi-purpose Studio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOverall, the R8-Pro is the best value light commercial Reformer on the market. Its appreciation of classic Pilates Reformer geometry — combined with ease of use, longer travel, and a wider range of adjustments to suit different body shapes and sizes — makes this a great all round Reformer and a modern take on a classic theme.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration:
