Equipment
Cadillac
The Pilates Cadillac — also called the trapeze table — is a large frame with springs, bars, and a table surface for supported strength and mobility work. It allows vertical, horizontal, and hanging progressions not possible on a reformer alone. Cadillac exercises on this site cover leg springs, arm springs, roll-down bars, and supported stretching. Spring length and bar height should be set deliberately for each pattern. If you are new to the Cadillac, begin with supported supine and seated work before spring-assisted standing or advanced hanging variations.
