3. Can you add a Tower to a Reformer Pilates?

Yes, you can add a tower to a reformer as long as the manufacturer includes this option. For example, many Pilates Cadillac reformers offer detachable trapeze towers that allow users to alternate between a conversion mat, a reformer with carriage, and a tower Pilates machine.

However, several reformers don’t feature mounts to incorporate a tower, so you are often better off purchasing a Pilates reformer with a tower or a standalone tower if you want the best of both worlds.
