THE TRAPEZE TABLE (CADILLAC)
The Trapeze Table consists of a padded table surrounded by
a frame made of metal poles. Eyebolts in the frame provide
attachment points for the springs. Loops, handles or a wooden
Roll-down Bar can be attached to the springs creating a wide
variety of exercises. The Trapeze Table has two moving cross
bars or sliders: one between the uprights on one end of the
table (vertical slider), and the other between the overhead bars
(horizontal slider). The end of the Trapeze Table without the
vertical slider ("Tower End") holds a hinged wooden or aluminum
frame called the push through or Push-through Bar.
CONVERTING THE REFORMER INTO A TRAPEZE TABLE
Remove shoulder rests by loosening the shoulder posts and
sliding the shoulder rests out of the slots in the base plates and
place them out of the way.
Detach all springs from carriage and slide it to the riser end of
the frame.
Lower the footbar toward the Reformer carriage and place the
two Trapeze mats into the frame with the flap at the Tower
end of table.
Please see the next pages for a diagram and listing of the various
parts of the Trapeze Table.
SPRING ATTACHMENT POINTS
» Low: Springs are attached from eyebolts in frame at Tower
end of the RTC. These springs are used to hold the Tower bar
in position.
» Middle: Springs are attached to vertical slider at closed
end of RTC.
» High: Springs are attached to stationary crossbars at either
corner of the RTC.
» Overhead: Springs are attached to horizontal slider between
overhead bars.
TRAPEZE TABLE SPRINGS
The Trapeze Table has the widest variety of springs and the
greatest number of possible attachment points of any Pilates
equipment. Suggested spring weights and attachment points are
included for each exercise.
SPRING CODING
The Trapeze Table has two different lengths of springs – long
or leg springs, and short or arm springs. Each length of spring
comes in different resistances. The standard Balanced Body
spring coding is as follows:
Short springs
Yellow – Light
Blue – Medium
Red – Heavy
Black – Very heavy, usually used on the Trapeze
Long springs
Yellow – Light
Purple – Medium
SAFETY
It is very important that the instructor be present and spotting
the client whenever the Push-through Bar is in use. The Push-
through Bar should never be adjusted low enough to hit a client
who is lying under it. The safety strap must always be used. The
safety strap must be adjusted so that the angle of the Push-
through Bar, when viewed from the side, is no lower than either
the four or eight o'clock position. There are three height positions
for the Push-through Bar pivot point. If a client is positioned
below the bar, raise the pivot point to avoid the client.
UPHOLSTERY CLEANING AND DISINFECTING
You can extend the life of upholstery by keeping it clean and free
of dirt, oil and perspiration. After each use, wipe
down the upholstery with a solution of mild soap and water. Then
wipe it down with clean water and dry with a soft towel.
Equipment upholstery is coated with BeautyGard®, which offers
antibacterial protection. If you want additional disinfection,
Balanced Body offers Balanced Body CleanTM disinfecting
solution. Use of any other solution (especially those containing
essential oils) will shorten the life of some equipment and is not
recommended.
