Stamina AeroPilates Performer 4500 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is the machine I use at the local YMCA's pilates classes. I am a person who usually gets bored very fast with working out. This machine has changed everything!! The Y was only having classes twice a week, and I loved it so much, I had to buy this for home. It is amazing!! Makes me want to work out. I got the Stamina videos to lead me through these exercises at home, so I don't have to think after a long day at work. The one thing I love about doing this at home...I get to chose my own music!!! From someone who usually hates working out, I cannot recommend this machine enough. It gives an awesome workout, I'm usually a little tender the next day. Just enough to let me know it's working!!

Stamina AeroPilates Pro XP 557 Home Pilates Reformer with Free-Form Cardio Rebounder Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This looks like a nice piece of equipment and is a step up from the base model which we had before. However, the quality of this unit could clearly be better. The first issue is that the rails come in two pieces that have to be bolted together. It is virtually impossible to get them to line up completely so that there isn't a small step from one rail to the other. This means that you can feel a small thump every time you slide over it. This drives me crazy. The second issue is the footbar. It is removable, but the fit with the brackets attached to the unit is horrible. It has two spring loaded balls that are suppose to snap into the holes on the brackets attached to the unit, but the fit is so poor that they never align. This unit comes with springs and the connection that is welded to each end of the spring looks like it was welded by a high school shop class...very messy! Other than those issues the quality is acceptable. I wish we had purchased a more expensive reformer because it appears you get what you pay for.

The Stamina AeroPilates Pro XP557 is for the person who takes their home Pilates reformer workout seriously and who wants to take the traditional Pilates workout to the next level with the addition of cardio. The Pro XP557 was made eight inches longer than standard reformers to accommodate all heights, throughout all Pilates exercises. Four springs, each with different resistance levels, allow you to refine your workout variations even further. Achieve the long, lean Pilates body as you improve your cardiovascular fitness with the Free-Form Rebounder. You'll lose weight and tone the hips, thighs, and abdominals! Using the AeroPilates Pro is the safest, most effective way to perform Pilates exercises without a licensed instructor, and with the included videos, anyone can learn to use the machine.
Durable frame and oak-finished wood construction give the AeroPilates Pro the quality and look of upscale commercial reformers, but it is more affordable and sized to fit your home. Adjustable ropes, straps, and handgrips are designed to fit any user. Footrest adjusts to three positions, and the rails are eight inches longer than standard reformers, to accommodate taller users. Commercial grade wheels provide the smoothest carriage glide available.
The Cardio Rebounder fits in holes at the base of the machine and functions like a trampoline. The Rebounder allows you to "jump" while lying down on the reformer, so that users of any fitness level can use the Rebounder safely and effectively. The cardio workout is gentle to your joints and connective tissue, and yet allows you to reach and maintain your target heart rate as effectively as with a treadmill. You can turn your feet in or out to hit different muscle groups and reach hard to access thigh, hip, and waist muscles. The Rebounder can be taken on and off the reformer easily.
The reformer is elevated about 15 inches off of the floor to allow for more advanced exercises with a greater range of motion, and to make it easier to get on and off. Adjustable headrest and oversized high-density foam shoulder pads offer additional support and comfort. To use the machine, you lay down on the comfortable cushion that moves back and forth on quiet and ultra-smooth rollers and gliders. The resistance is changed with four heavy-duty springs, allowing you to build up resistance as you develop strength, and adjust resistance for different exercises and muscle groups.
Developed by Joseph Hubertus Pilates approximately 80 years ago, the Pilates exercise system develops flexibility, posture, and strength. With the purpose of building core strength, Pilates workouts challenge balance, core strength, stability, and flexibility. The AeroPilates Pro makes challenging Pilates exercises easier to perform properly, effectively, safely and provides optimum challenge and usability for seasoned Pilates trainers and novices alike.

Stamina Pilates Premier XP Reformer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have over 7,000 hours of experience teaching on studio quality, spring-loaded Pilates equipment. In the last years that I taught professionally, I cut down my insane teaching schedule by teaching group classes on these machines.
They are safer than spring-loaded reformers because of the bungee cords--springs snap back. Bungee cords will move, but not with the kind of propulsive, really dramatic force you see in springs. Over and over again, I watched students do things on these reformers that would have injured them on spring-loaded equipment.
In my own practice, lack of attention has caused a moment or two of real danger; the worst thing that happened was a flying bungee cord cutting the upholstery.
Safety aside, these provide enough resistance for a really good workout. They are big enough that anyone under 6'2" can do all of the exercises, with the exception of the Semi-Circle, which is a more intermediate exercise anyway. Students with knee and hip injuries reported that they were more comfortable on these machines, possibly because the bungee cords provide less resistance.
Also, these reformers do what reformers were designed to do: in two hour-long workouts a week, these machines increased flexibility, improved back pain and dramatically changed the shape of bodies, just like studio quality equipment would. (Yes, Virginia, there is a way to get rid of saddlebags without lipo.)
Finally, unlike some other pieces of non-studio quality equipment, I can unequivocally recommend these for even very fit men. The runners, bikers and hunters in my classes really found the machine workouts challenging.
Cons: I have never been able to get replacement parts. You will need two people or one man over six feet to move each machine. Attempt to fold them up again at your own peril. Lock them away from children, or vice versa--even bungee cords can cut.

Four heavy-duty, elastic cords provide five levels of workout resistance and the adjustable headrest and oversized high-density foam shoulder pads offer additional support and comfort.

Stamina AeroPilates Reformer with Free-Form Cardio Rebounder Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a good sturdy quality piece of equipment. I was afraid it might not be stable and function like some of the larger or more expensive reformers. This definitely holds it's own and I'm glad I got this one because I can keep it by the wall and then easily slide it over for the workout. All of the parts work smoothly. As far as the trampoline in the lying down position, I need to start slowly or I get a little nauseous. Most importantly, I have a herniated disc in my center back and the Pilates exercises are helping me enormously. I highly recommend it.

The Stamina AeroPilates with Free-Form Cardio Rebounder allows you to reach and maintain your target heart rate as effectively as with a treadmill. But unlike the treadmill, this rebounder is low impact and gentle on your joints. Because you are lying on your back, there is no concussion on your legs, hips, or spine. Some Pilates' machines feature a padded jumpboard made of solid wood, but the AeroPilates Free-Form Rebounder is like jumping on a trampoline. As a result, there is more give and less shock to your joints. Plus, the AeroPilates strength and flexibility training gives you the strong, streamlined, flexible body that only Pilates can achieve.
This device is elevated about 10 inches of the floor to allow for more advanced exercises and enables you to perform over 50 exercises to tone and shape your entire body. The heavy, steel frame is durable and the four heavy-duty elastic cords provide four levels of workout resistance. The adjustable headrest, along with oversized high-density foam shoulder pads, offer additional support and comfort. This system includes two workout videos, and a color workout wall chart.

Stamina AeroPilates Pro XP 556 Home Pilates Reformer with Free-Form Cardio Rebounder Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I did a lot of research before purchasing this reformer. I am new to pilates and am turning to it after almost two years of lower back pain caused by the after-effects of pregnancy (ie. majorly stretched out muscles). I read other reviews saying that it was big, and it really is. I wasn't fully prepared for how big it is. But I am thoroughly impressed with the quality of this reformer. Assembly wasn't too difficult and I did it by myself. My only suggestion is to pay attention to the number of bolts that are required for each step of the assembly process as illustrated, otherwise it is pretty easy to miss some of the pre-drilled holes and end up with extra bolts. I've only been using my reformer for a week, but I can tell you that it is a fantastic whole body workout. I'm already feeling much stronger in my core and having less back pain. I'm not the kind of person who has ever enjoyed getting on any type of exercise machine. I was a competitive swimmer up until about 8 years ago and I've never really enjoyed any other form of exercise as much as swimming until I found this. I look forward to this workout every day. This reformer was definitely worth the money.
