Great Pilates!!!!
I LOVE this pilates machine! It was relatively easy to put together - it took me about an hour. the instructions were clear and easy to follow. I like the video and the exercise map. I feel very comfortable on the machine....I would say I am as comfortable on this as I was on the one at the gym! It is great!

Highly recommend this reformerI ordered the Stamina XP 686 which at the time of order was titled Calm Pilates. It arrived and I thought I would need my husband to put it together. Husband not needed but an extra pr of hands will be needed at least once. It took a couple of hours to assemble and was relatively easy for this 5'10 150lbs female. No additional tools were needed everything included. Just follow the step by step instructions and take your time while putting this together.
There were a couple of small snags like a problem with one of the rails that had a metal pc welded together (for screws) but one side of the welding was off aligned. I needed to go to Lowe's to get a smaller fourth screw. Worked fine. Another welding snag with another screw for pulley but was able to put in a spacer/bolt and wingnut till the replacement part arrives. Minor things really. Stamina products customer service is fantastic and so helpful.
Once assembled it was wonderful! This is a commercial reformer. I am soooo glad I took the chance and got it as my Mother's day gift to myself. It's great for all classical pilates moves that use a reformer. Great for the intermediate - advance follower to workout at home. This is fine for the beginner too but I would recommend watching the videos level 1 and reading method books. Do take a few classes to learn proper technique esp. since you can really advance on this reformer. A reformer like this is a lifetime investment to your health & fitness.
The XP686 has a removable metal footbar and uses 5 springs not 3-4 cords like the XP555. The padding is very comfortable and shoulder pads adjusts to two widths...I have broad shoulders so this is a plus for me.
Two workout DVDs are included. For those needing a cardio workout there is a rebounder also included. I do have to order the box and pole set separately for $99 reason I am here now. This reformer is so stable professional quality and very attractive/modern looking. Best pc of equipment I've bought since my treadmill. Would definitely recommend this to others as it had been recommended to me.
It was delivered in two boxes which I kept. Since I will be moving in 6 months and will have to disassemble it. I have no problem with this at all.
Warning: This is a heavy pc of equipment so rolling it (as stated you could for storage) is not an option...at least not for this person.
