MU Pilates Reformer, Foldable Reformer Pilates Machine & Equipment for Home Use and Gym Workout, Suitable for Advanced and Beginners Users, Up to 400 lbs Weight Capacity, Black

Is this comparable to a pro studio reformer? No. But will it get the job done? Yes! Like most of us, I can’t afford a several thousand dollar professional reformer, nor do I have enough room for one, so I was looking for an affordable, foldable option to supplement my studio lessons at home. I looked at other similarly priced foldable reformers but settled on this one because it offered the smallest folded dimensions (space is VERY limited in my house). Pros: it does indeed fold up pretty compactly. It’s sturdy and feels secure and stable for standing moves. For the price, it’s a decent machine. No complaints overall. Things to keep in mind before you buy: I didn’t want to call this list “cons” because they’re not really bad things, just things you need to consider when looking to buy this reformer. First and foremost, it IS small. The sled is short, even for someone like me who is barely 5 feet tall. Ideally, it could use 6” more inches and be fine for most average sized humans, but as it is, it’s a tight fit even for someone my height. My husband is 5’9 and can do some moves, but not all, and he really has to scrunch himself to fit on the platform. Both of us can max out the full extension length on certain moves. Secondly, it is noisy. The pulleys for the straps probably could use some oiling to minimize the squeaking. There’s also more noise in general than a pro reformer, but it glides well. The sled doesn’t have a noticeable “catch” when it slides over the hinges on the foldable frame. The shoulder posts come out easily, which is great for storage but they can pop off when pulling the straps off during use. And I really miss having an adjustable headrest for certain moves. The posts for the straps also feel like they could be a few inches longer. It’s sometimes tricky to get the right level of tension/extension without getting under the machine to tinker with the length of the straps. Folding and unfolding the reformer feels like a 2 person job. It’s possible to do it by myself, but it’s pretty unwieldy. It does fold up nicely and can be wheeled around in its folded state. It could definitely fit into most standard hallway closets. Overall, I’m still very happy with this machine and it’s seen more or less constant use in the month that I’ve owned it. Currently, it’s set up in my living room, which is great for my ADHD brain when watching TV and I start getting fidgety. Just hop on the reformer and do some moves! I love having it at my disposal and it’s keeping my back and hip pain in check. I’ll use it until I can save up enough for a higher end foldable reformer, but in the meantime it’s a great little machine for what I need!

The reformer was so easy to put together and get started. The pads are very comfortable. I didn’t realize how big it was going to be. Folding and unfolding is so easy and it doesn’t take up a lot of room. Lots of room for just about any size and super sturdy. It functions well and the tension/resistance options are perfect. Oh and best part was the price! So affordable.

Great product only issue is that the ropes are set at one length and not adjustable. I had to tie a knot in the middle to shorten it so that my legs can be lifted to the desired angle. Gods price.

This item is not user friendly. It is too short for use by anyone that is just 5 feet tall. It doesn't have head or neck support for exercises that require laying down on the back.

I was really loving having a Pilates machine at home. Unfortunately that didn't last too long the wheels under the bench are coming apart and whe shoulder pad is already ripping. I didn't use everyday. I'm really hopeful that i can just get replacement parts for it by seller, instead of returning the entire item.

Exactly what I was looking for, a reasonably priced reformer that is strong, sturdy, and doesn’t take up a lot of space, can be folded up to move it out of the way. I use this every day and I absolutely love it. It was very easy to put together, the instructions were clear and I would highly recommend it. Some people commented that it was not for tall people, I can’t speak to that because I am 5‘2“ and it works fine for me.

When I bought the reformer about a year ago, the listing did not post nor state that this was a cord and spring reformer. It is very difficult to follow along with online videos because most reformers only have color-coordinated springs. I have since reached out to the company to inquire about how to coordinate the springs and chords with a professional color-coordinated reformer, but they did not seem to understand my question. The reformer itself is really nice, but the cord/spring issue prevents me from using it where I would like to.

Quick and easy to set up. Only needed two people to carry it out of the box. The rest could be set up by just one person. Smaller than I expected but it’s perfect for my living room and won’t take up too much space. Haven’t gotten a chance to use it a lot but it’s pretty sturdy and good for a quick workout
