Backstory: I have been going to a Pilates studio for almost two years now. Unfortunately I moved further away and have not been able to get back to class like I want too. I use to be a power lifter, along with my running, trail running, hiking etc. power lifting was pretty harsh after awhile especially getting hurt at work several times and not being as strong as I once was. Getting older and having to keep good joint health in mind with arthritis is also something to think about. This machine cost about the same as 6 months worth of classes so I figured, why not. I did some research and looked for a month or so at different brands and price ranges. When this arrived it was boxed very well and secure. I recommend two people carry and not just one, which is what I did. It’s heavy! I also put it together by myself when it recommends two people but I fly solo so I had no issues there, it just took longer to put together. The seat you lay on I can already tell it will need to get replaced with regular use. Some exercises you go on your knees or stand and it flattens right to the board, I am by no means overweight. I am 5’8 140 long and lean. The headrest was also smooshed during packaging so it’s not as fluffy and is stuck smooshed. I do wish the weight bands were labeled with the weight resistance on them, they are just black. The rope pulleys work well but the metal T bracket could be configured better. There’s only one bolt holding it in and it does rock when it’s loose or you pull too hard. The wheels on the track are also a little bumpy for some reason, I can’t figure out why. All in all this is a good machine though for the price and I hope to get a lot of use out of it.

I bought this model reformer a couple months ago, after shopping for an alternative to high priced models. It is solidly constructed and has served our needs very well. My only criticism is that the interface between the body and the feet of the unit is not machined to an exacting standard, requiring more attention and tools to assemble than the instructions indicate.

I love it and am so happy I spent a little more to upgrade to this one. I’ve used other reformers before that weren’t as good. His reformer is really good quality.

Love this upgraded elevated Pilate machine. Much easier to get on and off. 4 tension cords allows beginners to start slowly and build up over time. Great for improving flexibility, strength, and endurance. Really works core.

Love it. Use it every day. A great product which allows me to strengthen my core without hurting my back. I also get a cardio workout with it - without hurting my back. Happy to have my own with no need to go to a studio. This will pay for itself in 3 months. An awesome deal BTW. Came with a chart, DVD, BLOCK and pole.

I love reformer classes and recieved this a Christmas gift from my husband. It’s not as big/sturdy as the professional one but for use at home is all I need. Love being able to workout at home.

I have wanted a Pilates reformer forever and finally purchased the Stamina 556 a month ago. this machine is a little longer than some of the others, great for taller people. It is sturdy, quiet and glides smoothly. I am very happy with this product and I suspect it will last me a very long time

I bought this product based on prior reviews and agree with the positive reviews I read. The base unit is sturdy, glides well and could well accommodate a much taller person than me. The install instructions were easy enough to follow and all tools needed came within the package. The rebound board could be larger - but is functional. The one improvement I would suggest is a denser padding on the base unit.

I’ve been practicing Pilates privately for several years and was REALLY skeptical about buying my own machine. This one does the job. Their are certain advanced moves you can’t do because of the way the machine is constructed but every time I look at my reformer, I smile.

I upgraded from a basic 3 cord model to the XP 556 a year ago. Although I loved my old AP model, I find that working on the XP 556 is addictive! I love the height as well as the sturdiness. Although I am petite, the machine would accommodate a taller individual comfortably. The XP 556 does not fold up for storage, but I've always left mine out for convenience anyway. Also, the XP 556 is so beautiful that I want to leave it out. Thanks, Stamina, for helping a 70 year old woman be inspired to stay in shape.

I'm so glad I bought this Pilates machine!! It was not an easy decision, because of the other, less expensive models available. But I compared features and realized this model was the best one for me. And I am so happy with my decision! I highly recommend this machine!!

I go to Pilates 5-6 days a week at a studio but wanted to get my own Pilates machine for the days I am unable to go because I love it so much. I did review a lot of machines and thought I should invest in a more expensive one that would be closer to a studio machine. This machine would be fine for someone just starting out or who has never used a commercial machine but to me, it is far inferior and hard to adjust to. It does not glide as smooth, the handles are hardly adjustable, the rebounder is very small, and the footbar rattles and doesn't stay firm in its position. It also has a really bad chemical smell after about 4 - 6 weeks...

Bought this two weeks ago and so far it is great! I love that I can exercise without hurting my knee (which has prevented me from using other exercise equipment.) It definitely is a workout (hint: not as easy as the videos make it look!), which is a great thing.

Simple actions, easy movement yet feel the burn and still ready to do more next time
