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.

Product Description:
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.
