MOTR Pilates Bar, Workout Equipment for Fitness, Balance Strength & Agility, Exercise Equipment for Abs, Legs, HIPS, Waist & Arms

This is a quality, well made piece of pilates equiprment. I use it with the balanced body videos, but a bar code scan will get you started on some workouts And show you how to assemble this clever little unit! I am a pilates fanatic and I use this when I travel by car and want to stay up with my fitness goals It provides a good alternative when you do not have access to a reformer. Unlike a reformer, the Motr requires the user to provide much of the balance and stability themselves I see this as an added bonus/ challenge. It also work fairly well in a small space. At 30 lbs. it is not light weight, but the weight adds to the stability. This is a well made piece of excrcise equipment worth the price. It works muscles you did not know you had! I would recommend this piece of equipment.

The MOTR is a very nice piece of equipment. Very well made, and easy to use, you can easily move from one position to another. You have the options of changing the cable tension from 3, 6 to 9 lbs. for more resistance. It's a pilates and a light weight machine in one. Take the arm off and now you have a barbell with the added benefit of the pilates mindset of the stretch and tone. There are also lots of moves you can do beyond what they show on the video. Definitely great for a beginner and for anyone who wants to augment a heavier weight workout (6 to 15 lbs weights) with a lighter, lengthening / stretching routine. I also use various size weights and a total gym XLS and am very happy with this purchase.

The build quality overall is just good. The avocado-shaped retracting units are a bit noisy and adjusting them is a bit limited and awkward - eg.. you can't adjust them while you are in the middle of a retraction or it will malfunction and require a "reset". The videos that go with them really require a membership to access what is (in my mind) the few useful videos that make this a real go-to product (MOTR for Dancers is one even though I'm not a dancer) but there are work arounds if you know your way around recording videos from streaming. If owning a real reformer is not in the cards for you for all the real reasons the average person can't own one, this is an excellent alternative. It does not take much space and you get a lot of value. I can think of quite a few ways this unit could be improved upon but it's still a great deal if you are determined to use it regularly. A lot of these things people buy become coat racks, but this one is different. It is welcoming, effective and I don't dread doing it.

This motr product is the perfect device for small spaces. It definitely requires some research and training to determine all of the possibilities with the device. I wanted a reformer but didn’t have a lot of space. This was a great compromise.

My husband and I are using the Motr and we are very happy with it so far. It doesn’t take up much room in our guest room and the exercise instruction cards are easy to follow.
