Foldable Pilates Reformer & Equipment – Pilates Reformer Workout Machine for Home Gym with Reformer Accessories, Reformer Box, Padded Jump Board – Up to 300 lbs Weight Capacity

Well made and sturdy
Positives: this is a sturdy machine. It appears well made. It rides smooth and quiet. The springs do make a tiny bit of springy noise, but not enough to be annoying.It is heavy, but after you figure out how to lift it, it is only mild to moderately difficult because of the weight. That might not be an issue if you are taller and younger than me. I am 5’1”, 145 lbs and 62 year old woman. I can fold/unfold and move it by myself. I have been using this for almost a month now. I am short. In order to lie with hips and knees in a 90/90 position, I angle the foot bar in a forward position towards the platform and it fits perfectly. Since I am short, my shoulders do not rest near the shoulder supports if I am using the spring board. I have not had difficulty doing cardio without having my shoulders resting against the shoulder rests. I find it very comfortable and less pressure on the shoulders.I appreciate that the shoulder supports are attached to a metal plate and the parts are metal. No plastic to break.The spring board feels amazing. It is padded nicely and offers a good bounce.The springs are easy to change resistance. I wish there were 6, but I’ve been able to make all the colors work.The pulleys are sturdy. The loops are plush and comfortable.The delivery was a threshold delivery, which means they set it inside my door. It required a signature.I removed the crate top and one side. I was then able to slide the machine out of the box and onto my rug, by myself. The machine was packed well. I assembled this myself without difficulty.Now the negatives: user/assembly manual lacks details. Thankfully it is very intuitive to finish the assembly.Nowhere does it tell you how to fold or unfold this thing. Nothing tells you that you must secure the carriage with the strap provided when folding. For some dumb reason, I thought it was just part of the shipping. The carriage just rests on the frame. It is the heaviest part of the whole thing. The legs also have to be shortened to fold it. While trying to figure this all out, the carriage fell off twice.Even the video skips the process. I don’t like that the only way you secure the carriage is the strap. I don’t know what a better way would be. After folding and unfolding a few times, it becomes routine and not that big of a deal.The legs are stabilized with a pull knob and a turn handle. They stick out and are quite uncomfortable when you bang into them. I plan to replace them with a turn knob. The legs are quite stable and sturdy. I am happy with them for that.The description says it can be stored in a small space, even under a bed. No way. First, you have to remove the pulley bars to minimize the footprint. Even then it is a bit over 18” deep. I besides that, there is no way you are laying this on the floor and easily gliding it under a bed. It would have to be an awful tall clearance. There are 2 wheels on one end. They work well for rolling, but don’t help with unfolding.Customer service is very receptive and eager to make this the best reformer available. They happily took my feedback regarding a better user manual, especially lack of instructions for securing, folding and unfolding. I am happy with this reformer. I would recommend it.

Carriage is best for taller people – customer service is exceptional
Revised reviewCustomer service is absolutely incredible. It’s like a luxury store experience. From the get go with springs order (see below) to today. The carriage size is a challenge for me, but this team has asked for videos and photos to help me with a solution. I am extremely impressed and because they are working so hard to help me make this work, my next reformer will be from them again for sure.I wish I could change the star rating to 4.5.They also helped me with the carriage not being smooth – it’s a simple fix; loosen, balance and retighten. It did the trick.Keep in mind. This is a foldable reformer and as mentioned in my original review there will be things that feel and work differently than a stationary version.Original review:Overall it’s sturdy and decent quality for the price. The downside is that the carriage is extremely long, much longer than any typical studio reformer – at almost 5’4” I have to add padding to get my body low enough on the carriage to be effective. Not ideal at all. In fact, had I known, I would have gone with a stationary version to get the most out of the machine. Folding is a nice to have, but I would have happily spent more on something that fit, even if it had to be stationary.That said, if folding is important to you, this might be the reformer for you!! Carriage isn’t as smooth as my previous Balanced Body or Flexia, but that’s probably because of the folding although I’ve seen some reviewers say theirs is smooth and quiet – so could be inconsistent construction.It comes fully assembled, which is fantastic! And their dotcom store is lovely – I ordered an additional heavy spring and they emailed me to confirm which reformer I owned before they shipped the springs – I love that level of care!
