Merrithew, along with a team of physical therapists, sports medicine and fitness professionals, have spent more than two decades refining the STOTT PILATES method of exercise and equipment. This resulted in the inclusion of modern principles of exercise science and spinal rehabilitation, making it one of the safest and effective methods available.

Amazon Verified Purchase

This review is from: Stott Pilates At Home SPX Reformer (Sports)

Omg, it's great. It's very high quality (that's the reason I wanted Stott to begin with). This is a lifetime purchase machine. It is the home version so it is lower to the ground than the studio version but it feels every bit as sturdy. It's the full length (I'm 5'10" and I have plenty of room on it.) Sturdy, sturdy, sturdy and totally quiet. It has wheels so I can move it even though it is pretty heavy. Took about 10 minutes tops to set it up it came 90% set up, basically I popped in the headrests, put the cables through and I was set up. I had to read the wording carefully on how to make sure the cables were the right length but after reading it 3 times I understood what they meant. Professionally packed (check list was done by hand and everything was there). I paid $0 for shipping via Amazon, if I bought it directly through Stott they wanted an extra $300 for shipping. The shipping company was great (Eagle). They brought it right to my apartment. I am 100% thrilled with this. I have to pay $75 a session in my local Pilates studio (plus tax) to get a reformer workout once a week. Now I can do it everyday if I want and it will pay for itself in no time. Great quality. Can't find a thing to complain about other than now I have a huge empty box I have to break down and get out of my apartment. Yes a lot of money, but if you've been going to a studio for the last two years like I have -- worth it!!!

2.0 out of 5 stars Not even close to the Balanced Body Allegro, April 21, 2009

By 

J. Green (CA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Stott Pilates At Home SPX Reformer (Sports)

I bought one of these and took lessons on a Balanced Body Allegro. The Allegro costs about the same but doesn't come with any extras like a box, etc. (You can order them separately if you really have a use for them).

I gave this one 2 stars only because it comes with so much stuff for the price.

On the other hand there are BIG differences between this and the Allegro:

"Ride:" The Allegro carriage is completely smooth and silent, the Stott feels and sounds like a Nordic Track.

Padding: The Stott hurts my knees because the padding is so thin, no such problem with the Allegro's memory foam padding.

Rope/Pulley noise: much, much more on the Stott.

Footbar: The Allegro has 4 vertical and four horizontal positions, it's wider, has better (removable) padding and doesn't stink of rubber like the Stott.

Springs: The Allegro has a better variety of springs and thus tension settings, and the springs don't keep going "sproing" like the Stott's.

Standing Platform: The Allegro's is made of curved metal and is very comfortable to hold with the hands when doing exercises. The Stott is a sharp-edged 1x4 and even with a towel folded several times over it, it bites into your hands.

You're spending a lot of money on this piece of equipment because you presumably intend to use for a long time. The Balanced Body machines are a class or two above for a similar price, so why not get the best?

No I don't work for Balanced Body, I'm just trying to help other people avoid the mistake I made.

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Stott Pilates At Home SPX Reformer (Sports)

I've taken pilates reformer instructions from a trainer and I paid $350.00 for a 5 lesson package. This meant only taking a lesson a week. I had the Total Trainer with Pilates machine and it was not even close to a real reformer. The Stott Home SPX IS A REAL REFORMER. It's wonderful. Best yet, I can use it several times a week. It really pays for itself. The shipping company (Eagle) were fantastic. I placed the order Sunday, had it by Friday. If you don't mind shelling out some bucks upfront, buy this machine. You will not be disappointed.
