Reformer Carriage Control
Reformer carriage control is smooth in-and-out carriage movement without slamming stops—signaling eccentric control and safe spring management.
Reformer carriage control means moving the bed smoothly in and out without crashing the stops—eccentric strength, timing, and breath on every rep. Slamming the carriage stresses hardware and shoulders; quiet returns signal real control.
Practice partial range footwork before long stretch and jump board work. Stop sets when form degrades.
Common questions
-
Why does the reformer carriage slam on some reps?
Often too many springs for current strength or lost eccentric control on return. Drop springs, shorten range, and pause before the stop until returns stay silent.
