A standalone apparatus with its own frame
A Cadillac table, also called a trapeze table, is a standalone piece of Pilates equipment with a raised padded bed and a full overhead frame. Unlike a reformer bed, it has no sliding carriage and doesn't need a reformer base to work.
Springs, bars and straps attach at various points on the frame, which allows exercises that aren't possible on a reformer alone.
What the springs, bars and straps do
Most models house a push-through bar, roll-down bar, arm springs, leg springs, trapeze bar and push-down bar. Cadillac springs work vertically and at angles, so each exercise needs its own resistance calibration. Lighter arm springs suit upper body and standing work, while heavier leg springs suit lower body work and assisted stretching.
Start with how you'll use it. The springs and bars you reach for most will tell you what to look for in the frame.

As with any apparatus, proper form and qualified instruction matter, particularly when you're setting spring resistance.
Why timber is a popular frame material
Wood gives a Cadillac table a warm look that suits both home and studio spaces, and the right timber and finish make it durable. That's why we focus on timber-framed tables rather than the all-metal options.
Two wooden Cadillac tables we stock
We stock two wooden Cadillac tables, and both are on show at our Sydney showroom so you can see the build quality in person.
The Motion Pilates Cadillac uses Canadian Maplewood in a lighter finish, paired with black upholstery and attachments. The package includes the Cadillac table, Trapeze Frame and Trapeze Attachments.

The Pilates Cadillac Table has a stainless steel structure with cast steel joints for strength and accuracy. Its fine reforested wood is knot-free, finished in a satin matte varnish that resists moisture and scratches.
Standing beside a 240cm table with a 200-210cm overhead frame tells you more about your space than a spec sheet can. Our team can talk you through form and set-up, and we always recommend qualified instruction before you start using any apparatus.
What to check before you buy
Before you choose a wooden Cadillac table, measure your room and think about how the table will be used. We walk every customer through the same short checklist.
- Floor space: a standalone Cadillac table takes up roughly 240cm x 80cm, so leave room to move around it as well.
- Overhead clearance: you need 220cm or more for exercises that use the hanging trapeze bar. The frame itself stands around 200-210cm, so confirm your ceiling height first.
- Spring calibration: think about whether you'll lean towards upper body work (lighter arm springs) or lower body work and assisted stretching (heavier leg springs).
- Finish durability: check how the wood is finished. A satin matte varnish, as on this table, resists moisture and scratches.
- Form and instruction: plan for qualified instruction, since proper form matters on any apparatus.
Does a Cadillac table replace a reformer?
A Cadillac complements a reformer
No, a Cadillac table is designed to complement reformer-based training, not replace it. The two pieces of equipment serve different movement purposes, which is why many studios pair a Cadillac with a studio reformer to offer a complete classical circuit.
How the options compare
These setups are easy to confuse, so here is how they differ:
- Cadillac table: standalone, with its own padded bed and full overhead frame.
- Full trapeze reformer: the overhead frame is built onto a reformer carriage in one unit.
- Trapeze tower: attaches to an existing reformer.
- Half trapeze: mounts to the end of a reformer without the full overhead structure.
A practical pick for standard ceilings
If your ceilings are standard height, a half trapeze reformer may be the more practical choice than a full Cadillac. We're happy to talk through which setup suits your space.
Who gets the most from a Cadillac table
A Cadillac table suits professional Pilates studios, physiotherapy clinics, teacher training facilities and serious home users with enough floor space and ceiling height. It is typically used by intermediate to advanced practitioners, and it is especially valuable in clinical settings. If you're working with an injury or recovering from one, check with your physiotherapist or doctor first, and get qualified instruction before you start.Do I need a reformer to use a wooden Cadillac table?
No. A standalone Cadillac table has its own raised padded bed and overhead frame, so it works without a reformer base. Many studios pair the two to offer a fuller classical circuit.
How much ceiling height and floor space do I need?
Plan for roughly 240cm x 80cm of floor space and 220cm or more of overhead clearance. The frame stands around 200-210cm, so measure your ceiling before you buy.
Are the springs the same as on a reformer?
Not quite. Cadillac springs work vertically and at angles, so each exercise needs its own resistance setting. Arm springs are lighter, and leg springs are heavier.
Can I use one after an injury?
Please check with your doctor or physiotherapist first. Whatever your experience, proper form and qualified instruction matter on this equipment.
