Product Description

The Stamina Aero Pilates Pro XP 557 Pilates Reformer is an in-home, commercial grade pilates machine. It consists of a spring system with different resistance levels set up on a platform that you can lay on, sit on or do various other exercises from. Simply push off from the free form cardio rebounder while lying on your back for additional cardiovascular exercise benefits.

The Stamina Aero Pilates Pro XP 557 Pilates Reformer was constructed to be four inches longer than traditional reformers. The benefit of this length increase is that it will accommodate most heights in reference to Pilates exercise needs.

The Cardio Rebounder fits in holes at the base of the machine and functions like a trampoline. The Rebounder allows you to “jump” while lying down on the reformer, so that users of any fitness level can use the Rebounder safely and effectively. The cardio workout is gentle to your joints and connective tissue, and yet allows you to reach and maintain your target heart rate as effectively as with a treadmill. You can turn your feet in or out to hit different muscle groups and reach hard to access thigh, hip, and waist muscles. The Rebounder can be taken on and off the reformer easily.

Additional AeroPilates Pro XP 557 features include:

• Longer rails than traditional reformers
• Made of commercial steel
• Steel springs provide resistance for exercises
• The ropes, straps and handgrips are adjustable
• Universal size to fit most users
• Performs over 100 exercises to tone and shape the entire body
• Quiet, ultra-smooth rollers and gliders for a safe, effective workout

Consumer Reviews

From Amazon.com

“This machine is great for all the pilates work, just like what I have used at the pilates studio and I love the trampoline rebounder. It’s like running in the sand and getting an ab workout at the same time. Very easy on my knees. I love it. My belly’s flattening out and I am getting the same amount of cardio that I was getting on the treadmill, but without the pounding and jarring.”

From Become.com

“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!”

From Buzzillions.com

“This is a great reformer for the money…I can do all the exercises I did at the gym. It is sturdy, glides smoothly and you feel that it is really solid beneath you. The rebounder attachment gives a good cardio element to the workout. I am really glad I bought it.”
