This is not to be compared to a traditional pilates reformer in anyway. I was hesitant to order it so I tried it at Sports Authority. I am 5'10 and 150 lbs/size 8-9. I could not do many full extensions or work full ranges. This machine is very limited but if you are under 5'5 in height and just beginning I am sure this would be fine. Again, this is not to be confused with a professional pilates reformer which are able to do 500+ pilates moves. This little thing does only a handful and not recommended for the experienced pilates follower. 1 star

I saw this the Pilates Power Machine on an Infomercial & will have to say I was very impressed. Unfortunatley I didn't have time to get the number & call on it that day. A wk. or so passed & I saw an ad online for the company so I emailed them. Their price was $20 more plus I had to pay 65 $ for shipping. Knowing that Amazon usually has free shipping I went online to see if they had this product. I was in luck & purchased the last one! Great price of $300..& Free Shipping!
I love this machine. It was already put together before shipping, ready to use right out of the box. It's well made of quality materials but not extremely heavy. There was a DVD included which goes through several different workout routines with the Power Machine. It's very simple to use & it does work. I've had the unit for about 3 wks now & use it at least 4 times a week. I can already tell my muscles are firming up..my abs are getting tighter..& my joints feel alot better. No, I do not have a 6 pk yet..& I don't know that I will..but I am definitley getting rid of some love handles! I would recommend this Pilates Power Machine to anyone who wants a great workout with a lower impact. It definitley works! 5 stars

Bought this from another website but let me tell you guys its worth every penny...I am an exercise hater ...get bored easily how many equipments I have tried nothing worked for me as I was soooooo bored wih the monotonous routines they offered this thing is a GYM in itself...the only thing needs improvemnet is the handles next to your neck where pulleys attach it should have more space otherwise very sturdy and best of all no assembly required ...just attach the foot rest and start working out in 5 mins ......if you are thinking of buying it dont think buy it....please be advised if you are very heavy than it may not be suitable for you as the bench is not too wide.........Enjoy it and live a better life...while looking gorgeous:) 5 stars

This seemed the answer to our problem. An effective compact work out machine.
However as I did both workouts I found that the "compactness" was a major problem. I could complete some but not all of the exercises because I "hit" the hard stop on the machine (nowhere left for it to slide). I was very disappointed. I was nowhere near full extension. I spent time seeing if I could sit differently to give me more space but nothing worked. I am 200lbs, 5"10" with a 34" sleeve so I am not a giant. I know form is important so I made sure I was following the instructors carefully. But nothing worked. I do not know how they claim people up to 6' 3" can use this. I had to send it back --- $55 out of pocket. 1 star

This machine is awesome. I had a similar machine that was too large for my small house. This one is perfect. Easy to move from room to room and provides a total workout. There is enough resistance to accomplish whatever level of performance you wish to obtain. It tones all the areas that women especially have trouble with. The fact that it comes assembled makes it even more perfect. 5 stars
