Supreme Toning Tower Overview
The Supreme Toning Tower by Beverly Hills Fitness is a Pilates Cadillac Trap Table, a Barre, and a total body toning and strengthening fitness aid in one relatively compact unit. While light in weight, it is very durable.
It is easy to use, and it will give you visible results quickly. And, it comes in at a lower price than most comparable machines on the market.
Arriving almost fully assembled, completing the job takes just a couple of minutes, so you will be able to start working out soon after unboxing the device. Just watch the included instructional DVD, which explains how to use it, then move on to the exercise DVD.
When you’ve finished your workout, you can fold the Tower and store it in a closet to free up space if need be. It will even fit under a bed, providing it has more than a four-inch clearance from the floor.
Folding the Tower is quick and easy. Just loosen the screws on either side of the bars, then fold the bars down toward the mat.
When you buy this item, you will get a 30-day money-back guarantee and a 1-year warranty, so you can buy with confidence, knowing that if you change your mind or there is a problem, you can get a refund.

Benefits of Doing Supreme Toning Tower Workouts
Supreme Toning Tower Workouts provide a variety of benefits.
Using the provided instructional DVDs, you can learn how to take full advantage of the device to target all areas of your body.
In fact, doing just ten of the one hundred and twenty-plus exercises demonstrated on the workout DVD will provide similar benefits to those of a studio-style Barre and Pilates workout. And you can experience these benefits in the comfort and convenience of your home without spending a lot of money.
The Tower’s Barre is the same height as those in professional studios. Its heavy-gauge steel is durable, and its uni-tower construction provides easy maneuverability.
Every exercise you do will target your core and abs. You will be able to tone your abs in just a few weeks by using the Pilates-style swing-thru bar regularly, as outlined.
Included are 15″ resistance coils that can be attached to the Barre to give you a great leg-toning workout and improve your cardiovascular health, muscular strength, and endurance.
The coils’ resistance will vary depending on where you position yourself. They do not come into contact with your skin, so there is no fear of them pinching you.
As well as your legs and abs, you can use the device to target your upper body muscles.
The included Sculpting Bar gives access to a variety of upper-body workouts. Combine it with the resistance coils, and you will be well on your way to a stronger body.
Regular workouts will also help you train your body to maintain proper posture. This will improve your muscular and skeletal health, appearance, and, therefore, your confidence.
