 Great Quality for a Great Price! September 21, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I hesitated to open the box and put the machine together, somewhere I remembered reading that it was a little complicated and I wasn't in the mind frame to deal with anything challenging. But when I finally did, it was pretty much already together. I just had to unfold it, add the wood onto the ends, and insert the bar and the head cushions, which was a matter of taking them out of the plastic and literally inserted the parts and Wha-la. This is a very high quality and solid product and a great buy for the price. I really like the tension cord assembly, again, it wreaks of high quality. This is truly in alignment with the professional machines. Bravo to this company for caring and keeping it quality alive without overpricing the product.

LOVE IT!!!I am so happy with this product. We were dissapointed that we did not have the space for a regular reformer but this is a really great alternative. We have had it for two weeks and I already see results and it is really fun! The only problem I have had so far is the cords come un-wrapped when I am doing the leg exercises. Then I go to use them for my arms and they pull all the way through. So now I just double check it and it is no big deal. Awesome product!
Stamina Pilater Premier - a good purchase November 13, 2007
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I purchased the Stamina Pilater Premier about 6 months ago and decided to return to Amazon and offer my review of the product since I rely on Amazon Review when gathering information for a new purchase.
I use the Pilates frequently and think is it an excellent product. This is my first experience with Stamina and I find the quality of their product excellent. It is well made, heavy enough to be stable during exercising, and has all the bells and whistles needed for a good workout. The Owner's Manual is easy to follow and they include an exercise guide that I have found very useful.
Stamina (made in China) has given thought to the 'to be used in the home' aspect as the machine is large enough and not too large for use in the bedroom and storage under the bed at night. My only difficulty, which has been solved, is it stands on 4 rubber feet that do not slide easly across the carpet. I purchased a set of 'furniture movers' for about $10 and placed 1 under each foot which results in rubber on rubber plus a smooth plastic suface to allow the pilates to slide easily across the carpet when moving it.
I give a top rating to this product without hesitation.
Very Pleased! August 30, 2007
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
I have to say, I am very pleased with this equipment. I read the reviews on Amazon, which really helped me to decide which machine to choose. I have been taking pilates off and on for over 5 years, and very consistently in this last year. This reformer really is a great representative of the machines in the private pilates gyms. The tension is fantastic, and I was worried it wouldn't be enough. It was pretty easy to put together (my husband did it, but it took him 20 minutes) and it's really not to hard to roll out and use. Admittedly, I do not fold it up, because it is heavy, but I can roll it out myself. I LOVE having this reformer! I was taking private class 3 times a week, and I loved how I looked, but now I can keep that up myself and save a TON of money (those classes are not cheap). I am glad I did have professional training, though, because I really know what to do by myself now, and with the help of the included chart. This is a great buy.
This machine is the argument against springs. December 16, 2006
38 out of 38 found this review helpful
I have over 7,000 hours of experience teaching on studio quality, spring-loaded Pilates equipment. In the last years that I taught professionally, I cut down my insane teaching schedule by teaching group classes on these machines.
They are safer than spring-loaded reformers because of the bungee cords--springs snap back. Bungee cords will move, but not with the kind of propulsive, really dramatic force you see in springs. Over and over again, I watched students do things on these reformers that would have injured them on spring-loaded equipment.
In my own practice, lack of attention has caused a moment or two of real danger; the worst thing that happened was a flying bungee cord cutting the upholstery.
Safety aside, these provide enough resistance for a really good workout. They are big enough that anyone under 6'2" can do all of the exercises, with the exception of the Semi-Circle, which is a more intermediate exercise anyway. Students with knee and hip injuries reported that they were more comfortable on these machines, possibly because the bungee cords provide less resistance.
Also, these reformers do what reformers were designed to do: in two hour-long workouts a week, these machines increased flexibility, improved back pain and dramatically changed the shape of bodies, just like studio quality equipment would. (Yes, Virginia, there is a way to get rid of saddlebags without lipo.)
Finally, unlike some other pieces of non-studio quality equipment, I can unequivocally recommend these for even very fit men. The runners, bikers and hunters in my classes really found the machine workouts challenging.
Cons: I have never been able to get replacement parts. You will need two people or one man over six feet to move each machine. Attempt to fold them up again at your own peril. Lock them away from children, or vice versa--even bungee cords can cut.
