Stamina AeroPilates 266 Pilates Reformer:

AeroPilates by Stamina 266 Pilates Reformer - A very similar pilates reformer to the ones you find in pilates classes at studios. This one is very affordable for home use and holds up well to everyday use. The reformer comes with a 10 inch stand that raises you off the ground and allows for advanced movement and exercises. The 3 elastic resistance cords let you adjust tension and continually challenge your body with new movements. Strength and flexbility are the two goals of using a pilates machine like this. Yes, you could join a pilates class at your local gym or studio, but they are expensive and aren't always conveniently offered at the right times. The Stamina 266 pilates reformer is a solid workout machine that folds for easy storage (see the video below). The portability of the Stamina AeroPilates 266 is what we really like as you can use it in apartments or condos where space is limited. Just fold it up and store it under a bed or in a closet. What about the padding? Overall it's sufficient around the head and neck area. Some reformers come with a neck pillow, but this one does not. The headrest is adjustable as are the rope lengths so people with varying heights can use the same machine. The carriage slides smoothly and quietly and the steel frame below is sturdy and solid. You do have to put the machine together - shouldn't take more than a hour or so. Check out the top selling pilates reformers here.
