until assembly is completed. Read each step carefully before beginning. If you are missing a part please  
call our toll-free number for assistance 1 (800) 375-7520 or e-mail us at :  
STEP 1  
Remove your PILATES PREMIER from its packaging placing the product on its side, with the LOCKING  
PIN(26) side upward. Remove the LOCKING PIN(26) and unfold the MAIN FRAME ASSEMBLY to a  
flat position by moving the FRONT FRAME(1) away from the platform end of the product in a clockwise  
position until fully extended.  
STEP 2  
Remove the paper covering from the foam tape inside the FRONT END COVER(6) and REAR END  
COVER(7). Place the FRONT END COVER(6) over the FRONT FRAME(1). Press the FRONT END  
COVER(6) securely in place. Place the REAR END COVER(7) over the REAR FRAME(2). Press the  
REAR END COVER(7) securely in place.  
NOTE: The securing SCREWS(M6 x 35mm)(37) for the PULLEY ASSEMBLY(22) on each side may  
need to be loosened to allow the REAR END COVER(7) to fit securely over the frame. Refer to  
illustration. When retightening the screws for the PULLEY ASSEMBLY(22) do not over tighten.  
The PULLEY ASSEMBLY(22) should move freely.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS  
SLOTS  
STEP 6  
The ROPES(18) are wrapped on the HOOKS located on both sides of the CUSHION ASSEMBLY  
(10). You can adjust the length between the PULLEY ASSEMBLY(22) and the HAND GRIP(21) by  
attaching the PLASTIC HOOKS(19) onto different HOOKS.  
ROPE LENGTH ADJUSTMENT :  
1.  
Arm Function: To position the HANDGRIP close to the PULLEYASSEMBLY(22) wrap the ROPE(18)  
onto the HOOKS which will shorten the ROPE(18).  
2. Leg Function: To achieve a full range of movement, hook the PLASTIC HOOK(19) of the rope onto  
the desired A, B, C, or D hook.  
STEP 7  
The resistance of the CUSHION ASSEMBLY(10) can be adjusted by securing the TENSION CORD  
ASSEMBLIES(12) in the slots located on the FRONT FRAME(1). You can achieve various levels of  
resistance by securing different numbers of the TENSION CORD ASSEMBLIES(12) in the slots.  
NOTE: To achieve greater resistance in the TENSION CORD ASSEMBLIES(12), stretch and re-tie the  
tension cords in a more taut position.

STORAGE  
1. To store the PILATES PREMIER simply keep it in a clean dry place.  
2. Moving the PILATES PREMIER: To prevent the CUSHION ASSEMBLY(10) from moving, attach  
one of the TENSION CORD ASSEMBLIES(12) in the slots on the FRONT FRAME(1). Lift up the  
PILATES PREMIER from the Rear Stabilizer to move the PILATES PREMIER with the transport  
wheels on the Front Stabilizer.

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES  
How you begin your exercise program depends on your physical condition. If you have been inactive for  
several years, or are severely overweight, you must start slowly and increase your time on the PILATES  
PREMIER gradually: a few minutes per workout.  
Initially, you may be able to exercise only for a few minutes in your target zone, however, your aerobic  
fitness will improve over the next six to eight weeks. Don't be discouraged if it takes longer. It's important to  
work at your own pace. Ultimately, you'll be able to exercise continuously for 30 minutes. The better your  
aerobic fitness, the harder you will have to work to stay in your target zone. Please remember these  
essentials:  
Have your doctor review your training and diet programs to advise you of a workout routine you  
should adopt.  
Begin your training program slowly with realistic goals that have been set by you and your doctor.  
Monitor your pulse frequently. Establish your target heart rate base on your age and condition.  
Set up your PILATES PREMIER on a flat, even surface at least 3 feet from walls and furniture.  
EXERCISE INTENSITY  
To maximize the benefits of exercising, it is important to exercise with the proper intensity. The proper  
intensity level can be found by using your heart rate as a guide. For effective aerobic exercise, your heart  
rate should be maintained at a level between 70% and 85% of your maximum heart rate as you exercise.  
This is known as your target zone. You can find your target zone in the table below. Target zones are listed  
for both unconditioned and conditioned persons according to age.  
During the first few months of your exercise program, keep your  
heart rate near the low end of your target zone as you exercise.  
After a few months, your heart rate can be increased gradually  
until it is near the middle of your target zone as you exercise.  
To measure your heart rate manually,  
stop exercising but continue moving  
your legs or walking around and place  
two fingers on your wrist. Take a  
six-second heartbeat count and  
multiply the results by 10 to find your  
heart rate. For example, if your  
six-second heartbeat count is 14,  
your heart rate is 140 beats per minute. (A six-second count is  
used because your heart rate will drop rapidly when you stop  
exercising.) Adjust the intensity of your exercise until your heart  
rate is at the proper level.

WARM-UP and COOL-DOWN  
Warm-up The purpose of warming up is to prepare your body for exercise and to minimize injuries. Warm  
up for two to five minutes before strength-training or aerobic exercising. Perform activities that raise your  
heart rate and warm the working muscles. Activities may include brisk walking, jogging, jumping jacks, jump  
rope, and running in place  
Stretching Stretching while your muscles are warm after a proper warm-up and again after your strength  
or aerobic training session is very important. Muscles stretch more easily at these times because of their  
elevated temperature, which greatly reduces the risk of injury. Stretches should be held for 15 to 30 seconds.  
Do not bounce.  
Suggested Stretching Exercises  
Lower Body Stretch  
Place feet shoulder-width  
apart and lean forward.  
Keep this position for 30  
seconds using the body as a  
natural weight to stretch the  
backs of the legs.  
Floor Stretch  
While sitting on the floor,  
open the legs as wide as  
possible. Stretch the upper  
body toward the knee on the  
right leg by using your arms  
to pull your chest to your  
thighs. Hold this stretch 10  
to 30 seconds.  
DO NOT BOUNCE!  
When the pull on the back of  
the legs lessen, try a lower  
position gradually.  
DO NOT BOUNCE!  
Do this stretch 10 times.  
Repeat the stretch with the  
left leg.  
Bent Torso Pulls  
Bent Over Leg Stretch  
Stand with feet shoulder-  
width apart and lean forward  
as illustrated. Using the  
arms, gently pull the upper  
body towards the right leg.  
Let the head hang down.  
DO NOT BOUNCE!  
Hold the position a minimum  
of 10 seconds. Repeat  
pulling the upper body to the  
left leg. Do this stretch  
several times slowly.  
While sitting on the floor,  
have legs apart one leg  
straight and one knee bent.  
Pull the chest down to touch  
the thigh on the leg that is  
bent and twist at the waist.  
Hold this position at least 10  
seconds. Repeat 10 times  
on each side.  
Remember always to check with your physician before starting any exercise program.  
Cool-Down The purpose of cooling down is to return the body to its normal, or near normal, resting state  
at the end of each exercise session. A proper cool-down slowly lowers your heart rate and allows blood to  
return to the heart. Your cool-down should include the stretches listed above and should be completed after  
each strength-training session.
