Best Machine on the Market . . . Great for Back Pain
This has easily become one of "our" best ever purchases. My husband bought this as a a birthday gift for me and now we have to fight some nights for who will use it first. I have taken private ($75 an hour session) and group reformer classes ($30 an hour session x5 in a class) locally but needed to use more than once a week which is hard to do with the pricey costs. We bought the risers too since I like being a little off the ground when exercising. It makes getting on and off the machine a lot easier plus my 3 dogs don't bother us as much with the elevation.
My husband has had low back pain for years and I was recently diagnosed with fibromyalgia so this machine is a must have in our house to keep us both moving. It stretches and strengthens your muscles and joints and really keep us moving on our rough days. I always get off the machine feeling more relaxed lengthened and energized. After using different types and brands of machines at different local studios this machine is my favorite because: 1) easiest to adjust if you have two or more people using the machine and more adjustment settings then any other on the market (e.g. footbar adjustments for length/height as well as angle. 2) allows quick adjustments of the straps when moving from one exercise to the next and because of the dual strap loop design you don't have to make any additional adjustments between the arm and leg exercises once initially setup for yourself. 3) quick and easy adjustment of springs/tension between exercises.
I would definitely recommend trying local instructors for proper form and safe use of a reformer prior to purchase. Try different studios and/or instructors to see which styles of reformer exercise you like best. Some instructors are more classical (usually move quickly from one move the the next) to more modern techniques (combining props with their moves sometimes at a slower pace etc.) This truly is the best quality machine and the most wonderful form of exercise for anyone with back pain or problems. We hope you enjoy as much as we do and use this machine in good health! More detail ...
