Always Be Willing To Question

A project log for Pilates Reformer

A hack in the fullest sense. I’m looking to bring what is normally unaffordable Pilates exercise equipment to a much needed larger audience

Have the opportunity to showcase the Reformer at a workshop held by a well respected International Pilates Instructor 

It is a very nice chance to get feedback from a larger group of established Instructors 

But it started us thinking

Being in the middle of building up another Reformer we’re taking the time to give it another once over as far as final build

Thinking of disassembling the current Reformer to bring it to the workshop one of the choices we had made in the past was to use a “Tee Joint” in attaching the Track to the cross member

The “Tee”  creates a rather clean line, but it does mean that it is a bit harder to get the tracks into parallel (the joint has to much movement in it)

So with that realization we’re switching to a “Crossover” 

A “Crossover” will be a more ridged support, and will be easier for keeping the tracks parallel, also faster when it comes to assembling

Making the time to always question, putting aside what your assumptions might have been in the effort to make the process smoother for others (those using the device as well as those manufacturing it) is the fun of all this!
