Malibu Pilates Chair Review

If you are looking around for a great piece of exercise equipment, consider the Malibu Pilates Chair. Like most machines of this type, the Malibu Pilates Chair is getting major attention from the lose weight crowd. And there is a good reason for this. Technology like this isn’t just about making your life easier, it’s about getting things done well. If you are concerned about weight loss, or even just staying in shape, you are going to need the correct strategy for doing so. You need to learn to work smarter, not just harder.

Compared to the Pilates Reformer, which really is the top of the pile of quality exercise equipment, the Malibu Pilates Chair is much smaller and easier to manage. You’ll find it so lightweight that moving it out of the way is a snap. Like the Pilates Reformer, it has no problem giving you a full body work out. But what it won’t do is cost you an arm and a leg. At just under $350, it is very cost effective. The Reformer is more in the two to three thousand dollar range.

If you are looking for an entry point into the Pilates machine world, the Malibu Pilates Chair is a great one. As a novice, start out a little slower. Don’t worry you’ll soon be sweating with the best of them. And like I mentioned, it won’t take up too much room.

The Malibu chair makes your workout so much easier. Not that it does the work for you, but it will make your workout more effective. The way it is designed, as you progress in its program you will begin to watch the all those pounds melt away like magic.

I still remember my fat guy days. These Pilates machines were not so readily available to the common person. I had to spend hour upon grueling hour in the health club with all the gym rats and muscle heads. If I had one of these babies I could have been able to lose 20 pounds in 30 days…no problem.

I don’t want to sound all Pollyanna so let me list the things I didn’t like. I prefer a longer workout (don’t worry it comes with one) to the 20 minute one included on the free DVD with the Malibu Pilates Chair. That’s why I prefer the Body Sculpting Work Out that lasts a whole hour. It also comes with a free wall chart and custom plan for a diet. The one I tried at my local Pilates studio offered a better range of motion but the price of this one is lower.

Then, you’ll progress to Level 1, where you’ll integrate core control, correct breathing, and proper alignment with smooth, continuous movements for all the major muscle groups.

Consumer Reviews

From Amazon.com

“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…” – K.Romero

“Have used the Stott Reformer and another wood-based reformer. Love the Allegro reformer best. Its easily movable, easy to setup and feels more solidly build.” – Jeffrey Kok
