Love, love, LOVE this class! As a Pilates teacher, it's hard to get my own workouts in and feel really challenged, but this was PERFECT! Thanks so much, April-I love your content!

[@יוכיחורש-ק6ג]

I like watching your class very much.

[@hencooney2952]

I have just got a tower for my reformer. So this was lovely for familiarising myself with what I can do. Amazing class thank you. As a pilates teacher it is lovely to find a challenging and clearly inststructed class in the large equipment. Thank you.

[@aprilplankpilates]

You are welcome. Glad you liked it.

[@jacquiehawkins3462]

I enjoyed your workout. I had to modify some of the movements as I’m working on a supreme Toning Tower tower and do not have all the loops. I was able to get a good workout making adjustments. I look forward to doing it again. Your explanations are excellent.

[@aprilplankpilates]

Thank you 😊

[@chrislarussa893]

I can’t believe I found this today. I got long yellow springs for Christmas and I knew I had seen you using them before. If you know of others vids I would appreciate you naming a couple for me. Thank you and Happy New Year!

[@aprilplankpilates]

Merry Christmas! That’s a great gift. I use the long yellow tower springs in the reformer tower workouts #1,2,5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 (coming soon) And the tower classes 1,2,3 (I use purple but yellow works too) and 4 (coming soon)

[@SelfLoveU]

What brand of reformer do you use? I'm in the market to purchase one. Looking for a link in your description.

[@aprilplankpilates]

I have a balanced body studio reformer with the tower unit. My footbar is the Infinity footbar and I have the revo gear bar. Balanced body has several options of reformers to choose from. You can check them out at pilates.com.

[@crisfernandes9806]

[@robmorris-ki5th]

Love it

[@faithb8723]

Love this. Great job. Can you help me? I'm buying an Ellen Croft Supreme Pilates but it doesn't come with the bar. Will the one you're using work on their coils? If so, where can I buy one?

[@aprilplankpilates]

Hi. I looked that machine up but can’t really see from the picture. As long as the handles can disconnect from the straps by some type of hook for carabiner it should work. You can also just buy a dowel rod at Lowe’s and loop it through the handles. The maple pole I use is from balanced body and can be purchased on their website at www.pilates.com/store/equipment-accessories/pilates-tower-accessories/roll-down-bar-inside-standard

[@barbaramaillard3696]

Hi April! I love your class, very well cue. What do you use to hang your spine correctors on the wall. I am having hard time finding what to use in my house. Thanks

[@aprilplankpilates]

Just sent you a message on IG. Here is the link. www.target.com/p/2pk-single-prong-robe-hooks-satin-nickel-room-essentials-8482/-/A-11345914

[@juliaroe3919]

Feeling amazing after tower class #1. When is #2 coming 🥰

[@aprilplankpilates]

Thank you. I need to start working on it 😊

[@faithb8723]

April since my stroke my legs are not strong. What is the safest and easiest way to get up from laying down or sitting exercise since I have to built up my abs and leg muscles? Should I put a chair on the left side of the mat?

[@aprilplankpilates]

The chair or a pilates box is a great idea. Anything that is stable you can hold onto would work.

[@faithb8723]

Do you have any exercises you can show for the legs, arms, abs using the tower and a pilates box by chance?

[@aprilplankpilates]

Not yet. But I’ll put that on the list. 😊

[@faithb8723]

April, my machine is coming tomorrow, Ellen Croft's. What exercises can you suggest to get my tendonitis back to normal? My right arm has limited movement compared to my left and when i reach for a cup in the cabinet it pulls the muscles. I have arthritis too.

[@aprilplankpilates]

Hi Faith. Congrats on your new machine. How exciting. I would contact your doctor or physical therapist for specific questions about your tendinitis. I can’t really provide medical advice.

[@braveheartlioness]

What is the purpose of the tower? It seems like everything can be done on the reformer alone?

[@aprilplankpilates]

The tower is a totally different apparatus with completely different exercises.

[@spicystarz5707]

Please do more creative springboard workouts! I new to your patreon your awesome!

[@aprilplankpilates]

Thank you. I have a new one coming out mid January.

[@יוכיחורש-ק6ג]

I like it ,lot

[@Fujamaga9]

Hi! Is that red spring for the push through bar a short spring or a long spring?

[@aprilplankpilates]

It is short.

[@StepanovIrma]

👍👍

[@beautywithrandi7774]

Where do I purchase the equipment you are using?

[@aprilplankpilates]

Go to pilates.com. I use all balanced body equipment.

[@bade98]

Anterior pelvic tilt i saw on your pelvic much İ mean you do anterior tilt while you are doing exersize

[@aprilplankpilates]

Trying to stay neutral. It’s hard for me. Something I’ll keep working on.

[@theosl4752]

Making this a weekly -

[@aprilplankpilates]

❤️💪

[@heidihamilton3243]

Question: my tower didn’t come with red springs but it does have purple (long), blue (short) and yellow (long and short). Does purple substitute for red? Should I buy red? Thanks 🙏

[@aprilplankpilates]

The red would be the same length as the blue or the short yellow. So I would suggest using one blue and one yellow instead of the red. It will be 1/4 spring less tension than red but should feel ok. I did go ahead and buy a red spring as it wasn’t standard on my tower either. Hope that helps.
