Excellent frame, smooth operation and springs. Hand and foot straps poorly cushioned so need to order the fuzzy strap covers. Also the neck pillow does make rebounding more comfortable for me. Wish it was made somewhere other than China though.
I am so happy with this product. It was easy assembly. I also haven't felt this good in quite some time. Love the DVDs it comes with too, just wish it had more.
For an at home reformer, this machine does the trick! The grip platform and the easy changing between the foot bar and rebounder is wonderful! It glides as well as you could expect for a non-studio machine! The only design element I would change if I was able is the way to adjust the ropes. If I want to do movements where I grip the straps rather than the loops, the plastic adjuster can be troublesome if that is where your grip lands. The only other thing I wish it had is the ability to adjust the carriage for the height of a person. My husband is not able to fully utilize the positioning of the foot bar because he is too tall. It needs to be on the back slanted position for him to even have a chance at a workout.
Was nice that alot of the parts were preassembled and the rest was pretty easy. A couple of the springs were bent too far closed and it makes them hard to quickly take off and put on depending on the resistance you want. One of the springs squeaks when extended and I'm afraid I'm going to wake others when I work out early. Like the jump board, but definitely ordered the box and pole for a lot of the exercises done at the Pilates studio.
I've had this only a couple of weeks and the rubber mat is already coming unglued from the foot stand. It is curling up which is disappointing. Also, the product appears to have been designed for only one user vs a household because the ropes are not easy to adjust for varying heights. The system also makes a little more noise than anticipated which can make 6am workouts disturbing to others who might want to sleep in or enjoy their coffee in quiet. Despite these challenges, the product delivers on all the standard exercises we used to do at Club Pilates. It feels extremely stable for a 245 lb person. The range of motion is excellent and the adjustable foot and pully bars are a pleasant surprise.
Recently upgraded to this model but really disappointed that there is no way to attatch the pull up bar to it. It doesn't seem fair to bring out extra simple attatchments for the aeropilate machines that only fit certain models. The pull up bar is so popular but you have excluded so many of your loyal customers from being able to purchase it. Aeropilate reformers are really great, but simple attachments should be made to fit all models.
