ARKANTOS Pilates Chair, Split Pedal Stability Combination Chair with Handles, Yoga Trainer, Pilates Reforming Machine, Pilates Equipment Home Use and Workout

This reformer was easy to assemble and came with everything needed to put it together plus extras. Additional items include a Sitting Box plus three interchangeable parts that insert near the adjustable, padded Foot Bar (padded full-sized Jump Board, padded smaller Foot Board and Trampoline). It also comes with a small oil squeeze for the rails. The five springs work well, and perform just as well as the studio reformers. The pulleys and straps are adjustable and work as expected. The material is just fine for home use. Overall craftsmanship is pretty good! The reformer came nearly assembled with only a few parts to put together – super easy. It is foldable, and has wheels. I was able to move it around with no trouble. It comes with removable floor pegs – which is the part of use I don't love. If you fold it up and down frequently, the legs need to be taken off and put back on each time. I wish these were collapsable or could fold down and up easily. I just leave them off – which is not ideal for full stability. I make it work. This reformer seems a little shorter than the studio reformers, so if you're tall – range of motion may be a little less. Overall – great purchase for the price!

I've been looking for a Pilates chair but, frankly, I don't want to spent $800 plus dollars. That's a ridiculous price for such a simple thing. When I saw this one I snarfed it up quickly. I think it's better than the one at my trainer's gym. This Pilates chair has 4 springs (more on this at the end) and it splits (more on that at the end) too. I highly suggest you do what I did for the springs and the split foot (below). This chair is far better than I ever dared to hope it would be. My spouse, my son and I all had fun putting this together. It's a simple build but having someone else (2 someones, actually) made it fun and even easy. All the screws, nuts, bolts, etc are well marked and are even separated out (they all come in separate pouches that are all connected.) Having them separate was a nice touch! They also include extras of the ones that you use most of the time. Having a ratchet with a 10mm head made assembly quick and easy. I didn't need a drill. I own one but the ratchet could fit where a drill might not. Springs: It took a LOT of strength to move the springs up a down on the vertical spring holder in back, more strength than I want to exert on something that should be quick an easy during a workout. When I accidentally popped out one of the plastic pieces trying to get it on, I grabbed a flathead screwdriver and quickly did the same to one end of the other 3. Without the plastic inside on that end, they're easy to move up and down on the spring holders in back but never slip off. I highly recommend doing it. The split foot: The bar that holds the split foot together comes pre-assembled on the two wood foot pieces. The whole assembly for that bar is: the bar itself; two flat plates (one on the back of each wood foot piece); and 2 knobs that screw into the flat plates which hold the bar in place. It's a nice mechanism, but the screws that hold the black plates onto the wood foot piece get in the way of the bar they way the factory installed the screws and nuts (with the heads on the top side of the wood foot piece and the nuts on the side with the bar and knobs) making it impossible to move the bar without completely unscrewing both knobs. That's a pain. It should be quick and simple, but it wasn't. So, I flipped all 4 screws on each plate so that the tops of the screws are on the 'plate' side of the wood foot piece (underneath) and the bottoms of the screws and the hex nut protrude on the top side. ** I highly recommend moving one screw at a time as the plate will come up and be difficult to hold in place while you try to mess with the screws and nuts. Take it from me and only flip one at a time. It will take far less time and be much easier.) ** After I did that, it was quick and easy to move the bar without having to unscrew both knobs completely. I covered the protruding ends with 10mm hex nut covers (here on Amazon) so it looks nice and I won't run the risk of scratching myself... just in case.

I have had the pilates reformer for four days and I'm kicking myself for not buying it sooner. I have used it every day and it is amazing, sturdy and functions like an expensive machine.

This chair is amazing for the price. Its about one quarter of the price of name brand equipment with all of the functionality. Customer service is amazing too!

Arrived 5 days early from the shipper. Easy to put together, took me about 40 minutes Very happy with the over all aesthetic based on that it matches my house & sunroom. The room I have it in is about 12x12 & fits perfectly I do not plan on ever really folding it up, but it does seem very easy to if needed. Because of the color & the feminine aspect to it (not bulky) it does not bother me like other equipment would. Have used it every day since buying. VERY excited & happy. Such a great purchase based on price. Been getting incredible work outs with it & hope to see more from this seller/store very soon. Great quality & Glides very well!
