Abstract

A reformer exercise apparatus includes a frame having one or more rails spaced between a head end and a foot end of the frame, a carriage supported on the one or more rails for reciprocal movement of the carriage between the head end and the foot end of the frame, and an inverted U shaped foot bar carried by the one or more rails and selectively positionable near the foot end of the frame. The apparatus has an electrical motor and controller assembly fastened to the carriage that drives a cord member removably coupled from the motor on the carriage to an anchor fastened to the foot end of the frame. This motor is operable to continuously bias the cord member on the carriage toward the foot end of the frame. The motor and controller assembly alternately form a retrofit kit for replacement of springs on a conventional reformer.
