Why Instructors Love the Cadillac
Why Instructors Love the Cadillac
If there’s one Pilates apparatus that instructors consistently rave about, it’s the Cadillac. Often called the “complete studio in one machine,” the Cadillac offers unmatched versatility, making it a staple in professional studios and an increasingly popular addition to home studios—especially here in Australia.
1. It Works for Every Level
From total beginners to advanced movers, the Cadillac adapts to everyone. Instructors love how the bars, springs, and straps allow them to modify, support, or challenge clients with ease. It’s ideal for rehab, strength training, mobility, and everything in between.
2. Endless Exercise Variety
With hundreds of possible exercises, the Cadillac is one of the most versatile pieces in Pilates. You can train core, arms, legs, back, mobility, spinal articulation, balance—everything. This gives instructors more creative programming power and keeps sessions engaging.
3. Incredible Support for Alignment
The Cadillac provides guided movement through springs and bars, helping clients understand proper alignment. It’s an effective teaching tool, especially for beginners who need stability and feedback.
4. Perfect for Strength & Flexibility
Spring-based resistance allows for deep, controlled work while protecting the joints. It’s ideal for strengthening, lengthening, and supporting clients recovering from injury.
5. Complements the Reformer
Most studios start with Reformers, but the Cadillac completes the setup. It offers vertical movement planes, safe inversions, and unique exercises not possible on other apparatus.
6. Ideal for Home Studios
More Australians are building home studios, and the Cadillac is becoming a top choice. It delivers studio-level capability and turns any space into a professional Pilates environment.

How much space do I need for a reformer bed?
Space Requirements for Your Reformer
A FitBoutique reformer requires approximately 245cm x 68cm (2.45m x 0.65m) of floor space. Here's what this means for your space planning:
For Home Users
Length: 245cm (8.04 feet)
Width: 68cm (2.13 feet)
Recommended clearance: Add at least 30cm on each side and end for comfortable access
Total recommended space: 305cm x 125cm (3.05m x 1.25m)
For the Onyx Fold model specifically:
Same footprint when in use (245cm x 65cm)
When folded: Takes up significantly less floor space in vertical storage
Ceiling height consideration: Ensure adequate height for vertical storage
What's the difference between commercial and home reformers?
While both offer similar exercise capabilities, commercial reformers typically feature heavier-duty construction, enhanced weight capacity, and more extensive warranty coverage. However, premium home models like the Onyx series bridge this gap with commercial-grade components.
How often should I maintain my reformer?
Regular maintenance includes weekly cleaning, monthly hardware checks, and quarterly deep cleaning of tracks and wheels. Premium reformers come with detailed maintenance guides to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
