I hate Pilates, but the chair experience is outstanding! I spend 20 or 25 minutes twice a week, with maybe the 40 minute DVD thrown in now and then (it's not 40 minutes of movement, there is a lot of instruction in between exercises) and I see results. I have no idea why this thing works so quickly. The workouts are not long, there are no high reps and minimal "feeling the burn," so I'm lost, but pleased. It also keeps you interested. The Malibu Pilates DVDs teach you a lot of moves, but I'm now also seeing some of the DVDs and books designed for the original Pilates chair. The movements are endless, which means you won't get bored after two weeks.

The fitness handles give you more options. They make some moves more challenging and others easier, so you decide if you want to invest in them or not. You don't have to.

The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is that I wish the pedals weren't just bars but had real foot pads like on the original chair. Some moves require that you stand on the pedals, and they are hard and unforgiving. If you wuss out and slip off while you're standing on the pedals, you can hurt yourself. I'm going to try ballet slippers . . . with rosin!

Nonetheless, I encourage you to try the chair. Contrary to what some folks have said, I think it is perfect for experienced exercisers, beginners, and well as those with physical issues who need restorative, intelligent movement.

I have had my pilates chair for 2 weeks now and I am very,very happy with my purchase. It is everything it made itself out to be and I couldn't be happier!! What makes it even better is I purchased this product at a great price!! Well below the retail value,how could I lose!!! Now if I can only get the body they show on the DVD's I will be estactic!!

The product was as described and all associated material was intact. However, one of the bench seat screws and its corresponding embedded nut were striped. Fortuniately I had a metric tap & die set to correct the problem.

tHE SELLER NEVER SENT ME MY PRODUCT i HAVE BEEN TRY TO CONTACT HIM AND ASK ABOUT MY PRODUCT , IT HAS BEEN CHARGE 200.75 TO MY CREDIT CARD AND STILL I HAVEN'T GET MY PRODUCT AND THE SELLER NEVER HAS CONTACT ME BACK WHEN I SENT MASSAGES TO ASK ABOUT MY PRODUCT, I DO NOT KNOW WHERE ELSE TO DO.
I AM REALLY DISAPOINTED WITH THIS SELLER

I ordered the equipment one day, I received an email the following morning from Rita at the company that the equipment would be shipped out the next day, and it was! Rita was so very helpful! In the email, she told me the handles were packed separately so I would know not to throw out the wrapping.
