An adjustable exercise system for adjusting an exercise machine such as a Pilates machine between various angles of incline with respect to a fixed base to allow for a wider range of exercises. The adjustable exercise system generally includes a base, an exercise machine pivotably connected to the base, and one or more actuators, for lifting or lowering the exercise machine into varying angles of incline with respect to the base. The rear end of the base is generally pivotably connected to the rear end of the exercise machine by a hinge or pivot connectors. A controller is also provided which communicates via a wired or wireless communications network with one or more of the adjustable exercise systems. Using the controller, an exercise instructor may adjust the adjustable exercise systems of multiple exercisers with a single command.
