$499 plus shipping and handling.

Shoulder
Pads are included with Bayou Pilates Pro:
The Bayou Pilates Pro is equipped with shoulder pads for Pilates. This
attachment is not included with the competition’s infomercial gym.
4
Resistance Bands are included:
A true Pilates gym should be equipped with resistance bands. The competition’s

Pilates Pro is equipped with 4 resistance bands. The resistance bands enable
you to do Pilates exercises on level one just like a Pilates reformer.

Glide Rail Tubing Advantage:
The competition's glide rail tubing measures 1” x 2”. Bayou’s glide rail
tubing is 1.25” x 2.25” inches.
Bayou
Gyms Offer More Stability:
The purpose of the base bar is to stabilize the gym. The wider the base bars
the more stability. The back crossbar (base bar) on the competition's
infomercial XL gym is two inches in diameter and 18” wide. Bayou’s base bar is
three inches in diameter and 19.5 inches in width.

diameter. Bayou Pilates Pro transport wheels are 3.5” inches in
diameter. Oversized wheels roll easier through carpet.

Plated Rails:

chrome plated. Bayou’s frame rails (upper and lower) are chrome plated.

Curl Press Bar Advantage:
A bicep curl press bar is included with your Bayou Pilates Pro. A bicep bar is

time. The competition does not double box.

81 pounds. Our Bayou Pilates Pro with all attachments weighs an impressive 95
pounds.
