Stamina AeroPilates Precision Series Reformer Resistance Pilates Workout Board

I had an AeroPilates for like 15 years. It finally gave out. I started looking for a new one but this time it had to be foldable. I looked at so many that my mind was spinning. When I saw this one, I decided to try because I was familiar with the brand. And I’m so glad I did! I’m 71 years old and I received it, unpacked it and set it up by myself. It comes 90% already set up. I fold it and unfold it every time no problem. Yes I’m in good shape but still, I was reluctant to get it because my old one I kept it under a sofa. But I’m so glad I got it and able to keep it in a closet being that my space is small. Yes, I do love it and I would recommend it highly.

I bought The precision 535 in 2020. It was my Covid exercise machine so I didn’t waste away in the house. I had broken my Knee earlier that year and was still building my quads. So after PT finished with me, I really needed to add to My workout to grow my strength. I’ve been using this reformer at least five days a week for 4 1/2 years. And it still works perfectly! The springs are just like when I bought them. They haven’t loosened at all! The padding is still the same on the foot bar as well as on the carriage. It feels like it’s still brand new. I bought several additions for it, including a box, a pull-up bar and an exercise mat to protect my floor. I’ve used it with the exercise mat on both wooden floors and carpeted floors and it works great. I didn’t feel it necessary to buy padded shoulder pads or padded straps or headrest. I do use a small, thick yoga pad on the foot bar just to protect my older heels. In the beginning, I noticed there was a little bit of obstruction with some of the plastic Inside the base where the foot bar inserts. I think it was there to strengthen the fixing of the bar. I tried to fix it, so it wasn’t an obstruction in several different ways, But eventually,. I just reached in with my fingers and removed it and everything worked fine. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I oiled the track once about 3 1/2 years ago because of squeaking. Never had to do it again. it made a little sound every now and again for the first year or so but I think once I broke it in, it stopped squeaking. I think the most difficult thing was measuring and length of my ropes/straps. And there was a couple times I had to adjust when they stretched a little as the knotts tightened. But I think I’ve adjusted them maybe three times in four years It’s my one go to exercise machine I really thought for the price that If I got a couple years out of it, I would be happy. Turns out I moved across the country and the one non-negotiable packing item was my reformer. It’s probably the best thing I bought for the money in the last three decades. I have no interest in replacing it or upgrading it for something more. It’s still like new in every way. I’m a little blown away by that. Really the best purchase ever! Highly recommend. And also, I put it together myself (I’m in my 60s) in about 40 minutes. I’m not much of a mechanical person either. It’s just really an awesome machine. Love that it folds and rolls. Great purchase.

Daughter purchased this about two years ago. I can do some things on this reformer but I really need it up off the floor a little. I have trouble getting up and down with my senior body. I realize there is no stand at least not yet. Why? Will box work on this reformer?

Happy with my purchase for the price. It is definitely worth it even though it doesn't have all the bells and whistles as the expensive model.

I've only had the machine for a couple of weeks, but so far I love it! It's well built and surprisingly small once folded. It's perfect for apartment living because it's quiet and sturdy. The wheels have been a bit squeaky at times, but some WD-40 resolves it quickly. The rebounder has been a pleasant surprise, as it's a much tougher ab workout than expected. I wish that there were more workout videos included with the machine though. There are a couple of basic introductory level videos, but for those of us looking to utilize this machine in place of a studio workout, some Intermediate/Advanced videos would be nice.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Best thing next to the professional reformer. My back thanks you!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought a older model premier because it had a nicer carriage. The new 535 is nice, like the wheels on the frame. But the ropes on the carriage wouldn’t stay fasten when in use. So returned it for a older model that worked.

So happy with this purchase! I am an instructor and due to studios being closed here in NYC I needed a way to practice at home and keep up with my routines. I am able to do this with the reformer 535 at a great price and keep in shape while I wait to get back into the studios!

Arrived on time,, undamaged and put together in about 45 mins. Very sturdy and well built, glad I went for this model. Folds up nicely and rolls pretty easy on it's wheels. Would recommend it for every level of Pilates training.

Recently upgraded to this new Pilates machine from Stamina products. We have had an earlier model, the Stamina Products JP4500, for around 15 years and the only thing we recently replaced were the rollers. Impressed with their reliability we ordered this product. We had a few minor issues primarily related to the shipment but Connie from customer service went above and beyond to address them to our complete satisfaction. The assembly of the product was relatively easy and I was able to complete it leisurely in about 45 minutes. All the tools are provided and the assembly instructions are clear. The product itself is great and compares very favorably to the professional equipment we use at the Gym, for a fraction of the price. In addition to the usual features this also has the Rebounder that gives you a great cardio workout. It comes with a work out wall poster (and videos) that are simple to do and exercise almost every part of your body including legs, abdominals, hips, obliques, thighs etc. In just a week of use my wife and I notice a significant improvement in our flexibility and muscle strength. The cushion pad is wider than what we had with the older model and very comfortable. We also bought the optional pull up bar and that provides even more exercise possibilities. It's not often that you get a great product that is matched with excellent customer service, particularly in these trying times. However this AeroPilates Reformer from Stamina is one of them.
