Shoulder
Pads are included with Bayou Pilates System:
The Bayou Pilates System is equipped with shoulder pads for Pilates. This
attachment is not included with the competition’s infomercial gym.

Resistance Bands are included:
A true Pilates gym should be equipped with resistance bands. The competition’s

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

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 System's 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.

The competition’s infomercial gym, out of the box with all attachments, weighs
81 pounds. Our Bayou Pilates System with all attachments weighs an impressive
90 pounds.

the competition’s infomercial gym. Get more for your money with our Bayou Total
