Workout variety:I could four workouts so farResistance:I was sore after 10 minutes of Pilates that should tell you
This is my second Pilates board. The first one I purchased was the updated version of this! It was crap! The second time I used it, I attached the tension bands pulled once and the board snapped in half…my husband tried to fix it and I was able to use the rolling part still…until the tension strap broke on that too! I tried to complain to the company but all they would do is replace it with the same version. I wanted this version instead but the only way to do that was to buy this version. So I did and returned the other! This version is so much better in all ways! The rollers don’t get stuck where the board bends like they did on the other board! The rolling part seems to have a lot more tension on this version. The size of the board is a bit bigger but it makes it more stable. And even the way it folds it’s smother than the updated version! Very happy with this version just don’t be fooled into thinking the updated 2025 version is better because it is not. And I can’t even leave a review on the other version 😣 buy this board if you want a great work out that is also fun!
I like it! Just wish the bands had a little more resistance. But overall I get a great Pilates workout. I would recommend this board especially for beginners.
Works fantastic
Love it
So it is really easy to put together. Great workout variety. I live the design. It made working out so fun and it wasn't to much. I have back pain and it was very easy. My dog did eat the handles so I am buying again. Its very worth it.
Wasn’t sure how this was going to work really. But I thought I’d give it a go - great way to ease into Pilates - the rubber weight band hook in nicely and don’t fly out. Just make sure you turn each one to lock. The hand rails can be used as one piece or unlock and each handle can be used separately to do various exercises. It appears to be pretty sturdy and really easy to fold and put away. The size is nice - especially when folded. For the size and functionality of this - the design is pretty clever really. Good buy for the money - I do wish there was a link to various exercises that could be used instead of having to research online.
Compact, easy to use and store. Has help me be more consistent in exercising.
Está espectacular facil de armar además de trabaja súper bien todo el cuerpo en especial piernas y abdomen.
Great low impact workout at home! I used this after having my second child (c-section) and it was a great intro back into working out and was gentle but effective on my core.
It works, but it’s very cheaply made so I don’t expect it to last. It’s is compact, which is nice for my small home. My stomach muscles are feeling it, so it must work. I have seen others now similar that I probably would have bought over this one, but for my purposes this will work fine. If I was a bigger person or a man, I feel this wouldn’t hold up very long though.
Love this fold and go reformer! Found videos on YouTube to start working out. Slides easily, will catch at the fold but keep it above or below the fold depending on the activity helps. The rubber pads on the bottom didn't stay on, had to glue them back on but haven’t had any issues with them since. Love getting my workout in daily without having to leave the house. Great buy.
Fast shipping. Good product. One side of my sliders did get stuck and caused for force to get it loose. Other than that no complaints 👌
I was excited to get this. Pros: very easy to use and folds up nicely for an easy store. The value is fair for the build of the product. I had it on a thick rug so it didn’t move or slide which was great. The con: was that the left side of the machine kept jamming so that’s why I rated it a 4 star and had to return it. Functionally would have been great if this didn’t happen.
I’ve really enjoyed using this Pilates board—it’s been such a great addition to my fitness routine. It’s easy to use, helps me stay consistent, and I’ve noticed a real difference in my core strength and flexibility. It’s also gentle on the joints, which I really appreciate. Whether I’m doing a quick workout or a full session, it fits perfectly into my day.The board feels sturdy and well-made, and I love that it allows me to do a wide variety of movements without needing a bunch of bulky equipment.My only suggestion would be to include a storage case. When you take the board apart, there are several small pieces, and it would be so helpful to have a case or bag to keep everything organized—especially for travel or even just storing it neatly at home.Overall, I’m really happy with this purchase and would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking to build strength and stay active from the comfort of home.
Yes it is kinda flimsy and cheap feeling so be easy on it, but it does work! I had to buy a yoga mat to put under it so it would not slide on my floor! I do not recommend using on the carpet or you could easily break it. It needs a solid flat surface underneath it. It does not come with exercise suggestions so i recommend YouTube videos. The elbow and feet paddles try to come out of the track so gotta watch that. I got yoga socks to give better grip but they paddles still slip out from under my feet so watch that too! Honestly though this is worth its buck, just go easy on it, it’s not an expensive reformer machine.
I think it's a nifty little contraption. I just got and used it for the first time. It was easy to set up and easy to store away. It does what it says it does. It gives some resistance when exercising so you actually feel like your usual moves are doing something. More Experienced people may find it boring or not worth the money, but for someone less experienced and with chronic pain conditions, I say it's great. It helps make exercising easier.
This thing is great! It’s really so simple yet something you never knew you needed. I never looked forward to doing abdominal exercises or working out my arms with weights. Always found it tedious and uncomfortable. But with this it makes those exercises so much easier and comfortable. This can take the place of sit-ups, crunches, side crunches, and many more abdominal exercises. The arm resistance bands are so much better than I thought they would be and really work. Certain exercises will work your legs and butt too. Pretty much everything works your abdominal area. It’s easy and it activates your body right away. The board seems well made to me. I will be taking camping with me! I love that I actually look forward to the work out which is something I’ve never said before! I am a tiny person but my husband who is 6 ft tall didn’t have any problem with it. I recommend!
The board is easy to fold/unfold and stores really easily. It's pretty simple, but gives good results. You can definitely feel the burn. The board itself kind of feels cheap I guess, but you're also paying for the convenience. The non-slip pads don't do anything on tile. Lots of slipping, but that can be fixed by placing a yoga mat down first. Also, not stable enough to have both feet on the sliding part for standing exercises
