Tower of Power - Pilates Reformer Tower Workout #1 (Prop Needed - Pilates Box)

[@angelap03]

Great workout! Please more Tower and chair routines! I love your workouts!!!! Thank you for sharing April!

[@aprilplankpilates]

Thank you! I appreciate the feedback. I’ll try to work on more tower and chair. Those are harder for me since I usually teach all reformer or reformer/tower combo classes. But I can challenge myself to do it! 😊

Got it, April. I have a 4x8 mat that folds in 4 so I closed it up and put it under the machine and it fits beautifully! Very firm and now it raises me up 11"!! Hurray.

[@winteddy]

Wow. Loved this class! I’ll def take it again and again. Hopefully I can incorporate the squats during the short box arm sequence. I like how you teach. Your cues are excellent. I rarely have to look at the screen. Please keep more classes like this coming. I’m working through your other classes! Stay well!

[@aprilplankpilates]

Thank you 😊

[@Ameliainthehouse]

Creative. First time I ever used my tower. I think my tower springs are too short. I can’t reach them lying down. Can I add additional straps to lengthen them?

[@aprilplankpilates]

Is there a way of lowering your tower springs? My tower has several places the springs can go. So I can lower them to make it closer. I also have changed to the elements straps. Those are a little longer. That might help too.

[@valweh]

This was wonderful!

[@aprilplankpilates]

Thank you 😊

[@perripanella8205]

amazing class! Can you tell me what height you have for your clinical reformer? is that 14 inches or 18?

[@aprilplankpilates]

Thank you. It is 18 inches.

[@kathleenharrison69]

I love your classes April!! I have a STOTT Tower/Reformer with long white (not yellow) straps-Im assuming they are interchangeable?

[@aprilplankpilates]

I think that is correct. The white Stott should be the same as the yellow balanced body.

[@sportsnam]

Wonderful 😅

[@aprilplankpilates]

Thank you so much 😀

[@peytonkirke805]

What spring is the whole beginning part on? One red???

[@aprilplankpilates]

I'm on three red springs...

[@rorykahneisenberg5299]

April, I am on the shorter side...just about 5' tall. I use an Allegro reformer/tower. When I do the exercises with the tower springs on my legs I have trouble coming back towards the footbar, I just kind of float and drift towards the tower. Any suggestions? Lower the tower spring to the next lowest hook? More reformer springs? Thanks!

[@aprilplankpilates]

Yes. Both of the use would work. For my clients who are shorter I have the infinity footbar so I move that footbar closer to them but adding weight would also work and moving the tower straps lower would also work.

[@jonibyrne2852]

Rory, I have the same issue. Long torso and very short legs. I tried moving the foot barre in further as well as moving the yellow springs down but I still had trouble. Adding extra weight was not an option for me. My best suggestion is choosing to do the class without the yellow springs or just enjoy April's other classes. I wish my legs were longer because I really wanted to do this class.

[@rembridgford7997]

April what tower spring tension is being used for this class

[@aprilplankpilates]

I have the long, yellow springs on in the middle where the push through bar hooks in. Hope that helps.

[@HansolYu]

love it!
