Pilates power gym reviews

My PPG arrived early April, and set-up was quick, easy and painless. I am not a fan of exercise but this equipment is so much fun to use and the training DVD’s are Excellent. I have never had a weight problem until age 49. I have gained 30 pounds in two years and at age 51, I decided it was time to take control of my weight.

I purchased a Leg Magic, Ab Lounger and Treadmill which I like, but nothing compares to the Pilates Power Gym. After only 3 weeks of working out 3-4 x a week for 30-40 minutes people have noticed my body is more toned and defined. My clothes are not as tight and that alone has convinced me to stay motivated.

This is a great product for the price. I’ve been using it for about a month now , I find it fun, easy to use and challenging. I love the fact that the movement is very smooth and dosn’t strain my muscles.It’s true it’s not a professional machine, and it dosen’t do 500 different movements. I’m 5’6″ and my husband ( who said this is the best fitness thing I’ve every purchased)is 5’10″ and we both can use the machine to the fullest extent and work our full range. However we are beginners, and have not been in professional classes very often. We find it a challenage at this point and hope to progress to the point that we find it easy

This is not to be compared to a traditional pilates reformer in anyway. I was hesitant to order it so I tried it at Sports Authority. I am 5’10 and 150 lbs/size 8-9. I could not do many full extensions or work full ranges. This machine is very limited but if you are under 5’5 in height and just beginning I am sure this would be fine. Again, this is not to be confused with a professional pilates reformer which are able to do 500+ pilates moves. This little thing does only a handful and not recommended for the experienced pilates follower.

I saw this the Pilates Power Machine on an Infomercial & will have to say I was very impressed. Unfortunatley I didn’t have time to get the number & call on it that day. A wk. or so passed & I saw an ad online for the company so I emailed them. Their price was $20 more plus I had to pay 65 $ for shipping. Knowing that Amazon usually has free shipping I went online to see if they had this product. I was in luck & purchased the last one! Great price of $300..& Free Shipping!
I love this machine. It was already put together before shipping, ready to use right out of the box. It’s well made of quality materials but not extremely heavy. There was a DVD included which goes through several different workout routines with the Power Machine. It’s very simple to use & it does work. I’ve had the unit for about 3 wks now & use it at least 4 times a week. I can already tell my muscles are firming up..my abs are getting tighter..& my joints feel alot better. No, I do not have a 6 pk yet..& I don’t know that I will..but I am definitley getting rid of some love handles! I would recommend this Pilates Power Machine to anyone who wants a great workout with a lower impact. It definitley works!

This seemed the answer to our problem. An effective compact work out machine.
However as I did both workouts I found that the “compactness” was a major problem. I could complete some but not all of the exercises because I “hit” the hard stop on the machine (nowhere left for it to slide). I was very disappointed. I was nowhere near full extension. I spent time seeing if I could sit differently to give me more space but nothing worked. I am 200lbs, 5″10″ with a 34″ sleeve so I am not a giant. I know form is important so I made sure I was following the instructors carefully. But nothing worked. I do not know how they claim people up to 6′ 3″ can use this. I had to send it back — $55 out of pocket.
