The Half Cadillac Frame COMPACT (product number LI-HCCOMP) from Bodynova is aimed at anyone who wants to specifically expand the C8 Pro in order to integrate elements from the Cadillac/trapeze environment into their own Pilates training plan. With the narrower 67-cm format the COMPACT approach is particularly suitable when available space plays an important role. At the same time, the system concept remains intact: a clearly defined frame, a swing-through setup and a spring concept that can be used for the intended exercise sequences.

For combination with the Align Pilates C8 Pro, the appropriate brackets are required. As these are not included in the scope of delivery, you should have the necessary brackets ready before assembly. In addition to the frame, the delivery includes various attachment and connecting components as well as foot straps and handles, which make exercise setup easier. In addition, a safety strap with quick-release fastener supports safe handling in everyday studio use.

The enclosed spring set includes several springs in different lengths and strengths. This allows the training resistance to be varied within the intended use. To ensure assembly runs smoothly, final assembly is required; the English-language instructions are included with the delivery. In addition, you can find further video guidance via the Align Pilates channel.

If you would like to use the Half Cadillac alternatively as a stand-alone unit, a suitable wall mount is required. If you have any questions about correct integration into the studio setup or the appropriate configuration (incl. necessary brackets), direct consultation with our team is recommended.
