Hi Alisa,
Joe’s promise to “return to life” is not to be taken lightly. To that end, I’ve had a Gratz reformer with tower for nearly a year now, and I still don’t know how to set it up, let alone take advantage of all it has to offer. I searched the Pilatesology site and the equipment tutorials, but did not see one for reformer with tower.
May I make a special request? I would simply love to learn from you or one of your superb teachers how to set up the tower out of the box, so to speak, and then how to maximize its use. Would you consider making a video for this purpose? It would be a great public service!
Thank you again for all you do for my world and the world of Pilates.
Hi!
I'd be happy to create a specific video for this purpose and you're right it would be helpful for lots of people because you can technically do all of our Tower and Cadillac classes with your unit (a few of the exercises in some Caddy classes will not work but most will). So thanks for that idea!!
In the meantime, here's a couple of videos that might get you started -- I think the spring settings are pretty clearly explained in these videos and the height of the spring will be the same on your unit as on the Tower we are using since they are both Gratz:

Stay tuned for a specific video!
