Stamina Pilates Reformer, Home Workout Equipment, AeroPilates 701 Premier, Gray - Portable Exercise Machine for Strength and Fitness Training - Multifunctional Gym Workouts for Men and Women

Llego en el tiempo indicado, un mes aproximadamente. Armarla fue fácil siguiendo el instructivo y además trae las herramientas necesarias para hacerlo. No es profesional pero si de buena calidad, necesitas por lo menos 2 mts. De espacio para poder usarla . Me he divertido haciendo ejercicio en casa a la hora que yo desee y no a la hora que haya disponibilidad en un estudio de pilates. Trae un póster con los ejercicios y parte del cuerpo que trabajarás, yo en lo personal prefiero poner un video en la TV y seguirlo. Le doy 4 estrellas porque los resortes no tienen color y no sé cuál es de mayor o menor resistencia. Lo recomiendo.

This machine is used daily and has held up well. Easy to put together.

We love our AeroPilates 701 Reformer. It was easy to assemble. We use it daily and are enjoying the benefits. Only wish I had purchased it sooner!

Just set this up in about an hour. I was surprised that it was mostly put together already, and the instructions were straight forward. I did most by myself, but I did need help lifting the unit onto the stand. I don't see this being easy to fold up every day. As far as quality, it certainly is not studio-grade, but is well made for a beginning unit at home. The construction seems solid, it just doesn't have the smoothness and extra features of a studio unit. I took pilates classes for awhile, so I knew how to adjust the ropes properly, I can see where if you have no experience, you could hurt yourself not adjusting everything right. I did upgrade the hand/foot loops to a studio-level set. The ones that come with this are thin and uncomfortable. The cords are all black, so I'll have to see if I need to upgrade those as well. The company is great to work with. My order was delayed and they graciously gave me a discount for the inconvenience. Overall, I do recommend this for someone who knows what they are doing but doesn't want to commit to the expensive higher quality units. It's a good "starter" option.

TLDR - This reformer is amazing for the price for home reformer workouts. Long version - I see a lot of people saying not to buy a "cheap" reformer because they don't compare to the studio reformers. While this is true, most of us don't need a studio reformer for at-home pilates for many reasons. Studio reformers are built for all sizes of people, and to be used many times a day. Studios have more money to invest in higher quality reformers, and they have an image to uphold. That's all great, but for the average sized person who uses their reformer once daily, this reformer is great. I was taking in-studio pilates classes before purchasing this, so I have a good feel for the difference. While there is a difference to be sure, there's no reason for a non-professional not to try this reformer if the price is right for you. I'm able to follow along with any youtube video without feeling like the machine isn't up to par. It glides smoothly & feels strong & secure. The resistance bands aren't going to pop out and cause damage, and the machine's core doesn't feel janky or cheap. A couple of caveats though: - I'm 5'7" 140lbs & I'd say this reformer won't be great for anyone over 5'8". At my height it seems like it's at it's limit. Weight-wise it could definitely support much more weight. - I purchased some accessories to improve the reformer and the one I definitely suggest is new resistance bands - I put on two of the red "strong" weight bands, one yellow "light" and kept one black "medium" weight. That gives me way more resistance options. I also got the box & double arm loops, which are both not as necessary as upgrading the resistance bands. - When releasing the main platform (like bringing the platform back in after extending it against the resistance bands) it can really slam against it's stopper pegs & it can be jarring, especially when doing leg reps. I'm going glue some foam padding onto them and I think that should solve the problem. - My only real complaint about the machine that can't be solved with an alteration is that the foot bar can't angle, it's only straight up & down. Wish I could find a replacement or that they'd make one but so far I'm getting along with the straight foot bar. I think an angled foot bar would even make this machine more suitable for taller people so it'd be a huge improvement. It's a great addition to my home gym & I've stopped going to in-person pilates classes because I like working out with this reformer so much.
