Bought an Aeropilates Reformer Plus (Model 5004 in purple) with the Rebounder and Pull Up Bar with 2 DVDs, on sale, from QVC.COM on 6 easy payments. Also bought the large stand for it. Heavy duty machine and stand. 350 pound limit. VERY easy to assemble. Nice and smooth to stretch out with. Also can do my daily walking horizontally with the rebounder/trampoline and not hurt the old arthritic knee and ankle joints. This is changing my physical life for the better!!! I'm not an addictive personality, but LOVE this machine and NEED it to ease my sore bones. MUCH better for the joints than any ibuprofen or aspirin!!! THANK YOU, AGAIN AND AGAIN, STAMINA!!!!! : ) : ) : )
I have had this reformer for six years and use it several times a week to supplement my pilates classes. Recently I realized the carriage wheels were cracked and needed to be replaced. When I called customer service and ordered the wheels I was very pleased at the low cost but even more so with the instructions that "Susie" the representative gave me for installing the wheels and adjusting the bungee cords. Great product and company!

Bought this a month ago. I am very overweight at 250 lbs. Just getting it home was a challenge, setting it up was tiring, because I was so out of shape. I started slowly, using 20 minutes of yoga to warm up then worked my way up gradually. Slowly adding different excercise and tensions. I can't believe how far I've come in just 4 weeks. My muffin top is way down, my core and balance is much stronger. I have much more energy. I'm happier. I can do sit-ups, bring my legs over my head, have no back pain, neck pain , sore shoulders and am standing much straighter. It's like night and day. It's my miracle...
I bought it this for my sister some days ago. Great Offer Stock had a great price including rewards and coupons so I had to take advantage of this. My sister love to work at home instead go to a gym so this is a great asset. It was very easy to assemble it. Perfect for her extra room. Comes with a video so she started immediately. Stamina is a great brand and The reformer one of the best AeroPilates Machine. Recommended 100%
this reformer is perfect for doing pilates at home or stretching. I initially bought it because it was highly recommended by a friend who has been using it for years. I love that it comes with easy instructions and has so many ways to utilize it. Also comes with nice poster and dvd of exercises for beginners like me.
First exposed to Pilates reformer at the Gym and got terrific results after I quit smoking. Decided to buy my own 5 cord reformer (model 55-5000) and I love it. Definitely use it more by buying the large stand. I had 2 minor part replacement situations. Debra in Customer Service was the best! She sent me my screws and cord caps at no charge. This time I ruptured my bungee cord and 1 was sent out immediately. Unfortunately it was defective and another was sent free of charge. I offered to return the first cord but Debra insisted that it wasn't necessary. Currently recovering from both hip replacements within 7 months. My reformer is the best physical therapist ever.
Fair but short & narrow carriage giving this one away-ordering peak Pilates reformer, more like the studio I use in class
I BOUGHT THIS PILATES EXERCISE MACHINE OVER 7 YEARS AGO AND MY WIFE USES IT DAILY IN OUR HOME GYM,IT HAS BEEN AN EXCEPTIONAL PIECE OF EXERCISE EQUIPMENT WITH THE ONLY FAILURE BEING SHE WORE THE WHEEL SLIDES RIGHT OFF THE SEAT,NOT BAD FOR DAILY USE!!
I bought this a couple of months ago and love working out at home and saving gym fees. It was easy to put together and does not take up much space. It came with a great poster and video to get started. The reformer is sturdy and comfortable.
If you purchase this, before unpacking all the parts and carriage, etc., go straight to the directions. Make sure the numbers on the parts list match the numbers in the subsequent pages. Not only was the hardware package incomplete (I went to hardware store to fill in) but then got confused with putting the carriage together -- there is no video instruction on any of the enclosed DVDs and the ones on you tube don't match this model either. Ended up calling Stamina Pilates to have them walk me through it. Two of their customer service reps got so confused that they asked for the serial number and said they would send out the correct hardware and directions for that serial number. So now I have things spread all over my place for the next 5-7 business days. Definitely makes my day.
I love the machine. Or, I thought I did, for a short while. It is great for some of the (very) basic exercises, and I thought it was a good value because of the add-ons to customize to my (advancing) fitness needs /levels....(and one of the key reasons I decided against the Total Gym was because I wanted a more pilates focused machine, that permitted the pull up bar or other such addons / upgrades... stronger cords, etc, oops). My rating reflects that this 55-4266 is not compatible with the pull up bar. Not in any of the descriptions from many of the big sellers of this product (that I saw) , was this disclaimer ever made visible. It was not until I tried in vain to figure out how to attach the bar, that I found out that it doesn't fit. (Even on this website, the pull up bar purchase description indicates that it does not fit 55-5556 and the 55-5557. I made a silly deduction, therefore, that it would attach to the 55-4266A). It was not until looking into the questions specifically about the 266, (55-4266A), on this website, (again, hoping to see if anyone else asked how to attach the pull up bar) did I see that the pull up bar is not compatible). Sadly, I did not read that before I bought this machine (and the pull up bar, that is now useless). If you are looking to add any of the extra options, then understand that this machine is very limited! (Ironically, on the exercise guide inserts that delivered with this machine, the pull up bar is shown in more than half of the diagrams!!). Consider what you want out of the machine and understand what you are buying for the price. (Regardless of the seller). Be careful not to advance in your fitness levels unless you have the money to buy a better machine within the next year because the lack of attachments / upgrades available on this model.
My wife Denise actually bought this unit to go along with other Pilates products we currently own. Although we have an extensive workout area and variety of types of machines, I initially did not think it would be anything I'd be interested in working out on. As a few weeks went by and I observed the ease of use and benefits of the AeroPilates unit she was experiencing and decided to give it a try. I liked it so much that I began using it regularly and now make it part of my regular workouts as well. In the process of ordering a small part for the unit we noticed your contest for the Power Tower. Co-incidently, she had mentioned that previously, after sustaining a low back injury while in the course of taking physiotherapy, she had used a similar unit and had obtained wonderful results from it! Although we'd like to buy one, winning one would be a lot better as we are 60 years of age, retired and on a limited income. We hope to continue maintaining our fitness levels to regularly enjoy many activities including skiing, rock climbing, kayaking, biking, etc.
I bought mine second hand and wished I had read the previous review. There are no height bars for the pulley cords which meAns you get burnt by the cords as they run against the skin not up in the air. Such a shame as love the rebounder bit. Why was it designed like this?.. its useless to advance from very basic work.
Enjoying my new strength in my legs and having the ability to stretch it all out.

Good because it is inexpensive, but the straps are not raised which makes it difficult to use, and it is not very well made.
Very surprised on the quality of this product and the durability
Great quality and many ways to use! Love this! I was not expecting to love this pilates as much as I have. I use it daily and sometimes more!
I received this reformer as a gift and it has been AMAZING! I have had it just over 3 years and use it outdoors (covered when not in use). It is extremely durable and provides a fantastic workout.
