IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Equipment Safety Instructions:
The proper utilization of Pilates equipment can enhance the execution of numerous Pilates exercises in a secure and efficient manner. Nevertheless, it is crucial to exercise care and caution due to the potential risks associated with exercise equipment, particularly when spring resistance is involved. If you lack experience or are using this equipment for the first time, it is essential to have a trained professional supervise your usage. It is important to ensure that both you and your clients/patients have received adequate instruction on the appropriate and safe utilization of this equipment.

1. Ensure the equipment is placed on a stable and level surface.
2. For optimal performance, allow at least 1m of clear space on either side of the Reformer.
3. Assemble the equipment following the manufacturer’s instructions and make sure all parts are securely fastened.
4. Regularly inspect the equipment for any loose or damaged components. Do not use if any parts are broken or malfunctioning.
5. Be careful of fingers from folding/unfolding and moving the carriage.

User Precautions:

1. Consult a qualified healthcare professional before starting any new exercise program, especially if you have any medical conditions, injuries, or are pregnant.
2. Wear comfortable workout attire that allows for freedom of movement.
3. Keep body, clothing and hair free from all moving parts.
4. Remove any jewellery, watches, or accessories that could interfere with your workout or damage the equipment.
5. Start with a warm-up to prepare your body for exercise. Perform gentle stretches and mobilization exercises.
6. Familiarize yourself with the various parts of the reformer equipment, including the foot bar, carriage, straps, and springs.
7. Maintain proper form and alignment throughout your workout. Engage your core and keep your spine neutral.
8. Breathe naturally and avoid holding your breath during exercises.
9. Perform exercises within your comfortable range of motion. Avoid excessive or jerky movements that may cause injury.
10. Stop exercising if you feel pain, dizziness, or discomfort. Listen to your body and rest as needed.

2. Always check that the springs and straps are in good condition and securely attached before use.
3. Do not sit on carriage while adjusting levels.
4. Take care when attaching and detaching springs.

FAILURE TO PERFORM RECOMMENDED SAFETY CHECKS, OR USING EQUIPMENT WITH IMPROPERLY ADJUSTED. BROKEN OR WORN PARTS, COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS BODILY INJURY.

Cleaning and Maintenance:

1. Clean the equipment regularly with a mild, non-abrasive cleanser and a soft cloth.
2. Inspect the equipment for any signs of wear or damage for example, springs, ropes and rollers. Do not use if parts are damaged.
3. All hardware should be checked every 2 months to make sur e that every nut, bolt and fastener is secure. If, at any time, a component exhibits free play, its hardware needs to be properly re-tightened immediately.
4. Lubricate moving parts, such as wheels or springs, as recommended by the manufacturer.
5. Store the equipment in a dry and clean area when not in use.
6. Any spring that exhibits early signs of fatigue (for example, separation in coils) need to be replaced immediately. High-use facilities should replace springs more often.

EXERCISE GUIDE

PLEASE NOTE:
Before beginning any exercise program, consult your physician. This is important especially if you are over the age of 45 or individuals with pre- existing health problems.
The pulse sensors are not medical devices. Various factors, including the user’s movement, may affect the accuracy of heart rate readings. The pulse sensors are intended only as an exercise aid in determining heart rate trends in general.
Exercising is great way to control your weight, improving your fitness and reduce the effect of aging and stress. The key to success is to make exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life. The condition of your heart and lungs and how efficient they are in delivering oxygen via your blood to your muscles is an important factor to your fitness. Your muscles use this oxygen to provide enough energy for daily activity. This is called aerobic activity. When you are fit, your heart will not have to work so hard. It will pump a lot fewer times per minute, reducing the wear and tear of your heart. So as you can see, the fitter you are, the healthier and greater you will feel.

WARM UP
Start each workout with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching and some light exercises. A proper warm-up increases your body temperature, heart rate and circulation in preparation for exercise. Ease into your exercise.
After warming up, increase the intensity to your desired exercise program. Be sure to maintain your intensity for maximum performance. Breathe regularly and deeply as you exercise.
COOL DOWN
Finish each workout with a light jog or walk for at least 1 minute. Then complete 5 to 10 minutes of stretching to cool down. This will increase the flexibility of your muscles and will help prevent postexercise problems.
WORKOUT GUIDELINES

This is how your pulse should behave during general fitness exercise. Remember to warm up and cool down for a few minutes.
