Having a reformer at home has made it so convenient to fit in a Pilates session whenever I want. I am having fun with it, although there are some limitations to be aware of. Here are my thoughts so far:Assembly: Putting it together was easy and only took around 30 minutes. The reformer is a bit heavy so you may need someone to help you move it into certain positions to make the initial adjustments, such as changing the strap length. I love that it folds up for easy storage.Stability: I was honestly impressed with how stable it feels, especially when I do standing poses.Noise Level: Having a quiet piece of equipment was extremely important to me. I can hear the springs when moving, but that is to be expected and it is not really that noticeable.Carriage: The carriage moves smoothly and is comfortable enough for me to get through long sessions without feeling achy. There is no adjustable headrest and the shoulder pads are rounded without a flat surface, which makes certain moves a little tricky. These are not dealbreakers for me and I've been able to perform most moves with a few modifications.Materials: The materials are obviously of lesser quality than more expensive reformers which is likely going to make it prone to scratches and chips. For example, when first taking the pieces out of the box to assemble it, I noticed the legs had some damage, but from what I can tell it is only cosmetic. Also, the reformer had lots of small flecks of either paint or material that had to be wiped off.Springs: The springs offer great resistance and have allowed me to get a good workout every time. They are not color-coordinated to differentiate between resistance levels (from what I can tell, each spring provides identical resistance). So when following along with reformer workouts on Youtube and the instructor tells you to add "one red spring" or "two blue springs" etc. you will have to play around with what feels comfortable.I found that it is pretty difficult to add/remove springs. A trick I use is to grab the spring itself with one hand from underneath the reformer and push it toward the footbar while I use the other hand to place it in the metal holder. I do the same to remove it from the holder. It takes a little practice but has made my spring changes much quicker to where I'm able to keep up with the Pilates instructors.Footbar: The footbar feels sturdy and adjusts easily to different positions. If having a jump board is important to you, keep in mind that this model does not come with one.I have really enjoyed having this reformer in my home and I have already started seeing changes from using it daily.
