Stott Pilates At Home SPX Reformer Review

Here you'll find our Stott Pilates At Home SPX Reformer Review . . .

Pilates is one of the most popular forms of exercise for women who want to develop long, lean lines on a slim figure as well as men who want a relaxing, calm way to workout. When it first hit the market, it was largely offered through private sessions at Pilates studios in the bigger cities like New York City.

Today, of course, it is offered through workout DVDs and home kits such as the Stott Pilates Reformer package.

In a Pilates studio, the authentic exercises are performed on a long table with special equipment designed especially for Pilates. Most workout DVDs compromise and show users how to do the movements on the floor or standing.

Now, with this at home Pilates kit users can actually do authentic Pilates movements right in their own home.

For anyone who currently takes Pilates in a studio, purchasing this at home kit will save them tons of money. For those who just want to start and do authentic movements on a real Pilates reformer machine, this is a way to get familiar with the practice.

Add in that it is easier to maintain an exercise program long term if you can do it in the comfort of your own home whenever it is most convenient for your schedule, and it is obvious why most consumers give extremely high ratings to this Stott Pilates Reformer.

Advantages of the Stott Pilates At Home SPX Reformer

The biggest advantage of this product is the ability to purchase the reformer in a package that includes a variety of attachments that must be purchased separately with competing reformers.

The package includes:

- Reformer box with foot strap

- Platform extender, padded

- Double looped straps

It also comes with a wall poster showing various Pilates movements and a workout DVD to show beginners how to get started.

The design is also an advantage, since it stands just 9 inches from the floor and can easily be slid underneath a bed once the shoulder rests are removed. It is lightweight, sturdy, and comes with wheels for easy moving.

Many consumers are pleased to find that the reformer is full length, so even taller users can comfortably lie across the surface and perform all of the moves.

Users can do well over 200 different Pilates movements on the reformer, some making use of the attachments. There is also a choice of fabric colors available.

Disadvantages of the Stott Pilates At Home SPX Reformer

The biggest complaint from consumers who have taken the time to review this Pilates package tend to be centered on comparisons to competing brands which sell for higher price points.

Some users find the Stotts Pilates Reformer to be a little noisier than and not quite as smooth as some competing products, while others find the cushioning to be too thin for comfort on movements that require sitting on the knees.

There is a limited lifetime warranty on certain components of the body and a 2-year warranty on most parts. Consumers should be aware that there are very clearly stated terms about when certain parts may or may not be replaced or refunded.

The Stott Pilates At Home SPX Reformer is not a cheap piece of equipment, generally running over $2,000 for the full package. But for anyone looking to do Pilates at home, this is a quality product that in the long term, will save you lots of money over attending classes at a studio.
