AeroPilates Pro XP 556 Home Pilates Reformer with Free-Form Cardio Rebounder
AeroPilates
When Stamina Products and Marjolein Brugman developed the first in-home Pilates reformer, it was groundbreaking. Previously, reformer Pilates was only available at Pilates studios, and that was pricey. The inception of the AeroPilates reformer made it easy for anyone anywhere to get a gentle, low-impact, total-body strengthening workout. But AeroPilates is more than a machine; it’s a lifestyle.
Benefits of AeroPilates
The benefits of AeroPilates are numerous. Our patented Reformer technology will give you the best Pilates workout you’ve ever had. Some of the benefits include: Low-Impact and Easy on Joints Total-Body Workout Mental Clarity Easy to Use Tones and Strengthens Increases Endurance Over 300 Possible Exercises Increased Mobility and Flexibility Fixes Imbalances
But perhaps the best part of AeroPilates is how fun it is. When exercise routines become boring and stale, they can be hard to stick to. You won’t have this problem with AeroPilates
The Patented Cardio Rebounder
AeroPilates isn’t just a way of strengthening; it provides a means for no-impact cardio with the patented Cardio Rebounder. Stamina was the first to develop this rebounder, which allows you to jog and jump while laying down on the reformer. We are the only company to sell it with home reformer units, and we allow one commercial company to use the technology as well. It sounds easy, but it’s actually quite the workout. If fact, your heart rate while using the rebounder will be higher than with a treadmill or elliptical. This makes it easy to stay in that fat-burning zone while also increasing your cardiovascular endurance.
Why AeroPilates?
With a proper diet and regular use of AeroPilates, you can achieve the stronger, leaner physique you’ve been dreaming of. As we’ve mentioned, the exercises are extremely low-impact, even on the Cardio Rebounder. For people who are worried about exercise causing them to bulk up, rather than slim down, AeroPilates is a solution for that too. The resistance is light, and you use your own body weight, so the results will be lean muscle while losing fat. This leads to a stronger, healthier you. Also when compared to a Pilates mat, which allows you to do about 50 different exercises, a reformer allows you to do over 300! This will keep you motivated and it will prevent your body from becoming familiar with the motions, leading to better results. Finally, you’ll find that along with your newly toned body and your additional strength, you’ll be much more flexible and mobile. By using an AeroPilates reformer combined with a healthy diet, you can be healthier, stronger, leaner, and more limber than ever before.

Good for the price but lacking compared to studio quality reformers I was going back on 3-4 stars. I think 4 because of the value, 3 because it has some serious issues that bug me.I had pretty high expectations for this reformer given the good reviews. In the end it’s about average if you are used to studio grade reformers. I have about two years of Pilates studio classes behind me so feel I am somewhat knowledgeable to review it.Cons:No hand posts next to head rest for ropes or holding on to for certain exercises.The…
Plastic pullys provided are lame, but itâs a cheap fix. I got the xp557 and I love it. I am a Club Pilates member and I just wanted a small machine that I could use on my off days. I donât have the budget for a balance body reformer like they have at the club, but this is a perfectly fine home quality reformer for 1/3-1/4 the price of one of those. I made a few upgrades as were suggested by others. I oiled the wheels which really helped, highly recommend. I used an odorless machine oil thatâs free from detergents and itâs great, I hate the WD 40…
If you are comfortable with Pilates and using a Reformer solo OK, I am not sure why their are so many negative reviews. You didn’t purchase a $4000 to $5000 reformer, so why would you expect the same level of quality? If you are comfortable with Pilates and using a Reformer solo, this machine is great given the price point. Every time I look at it, I fall in love. I subscribe to the website Pilates Anytime and do rigorous workouts. Their are some advanced moves you will be unable to do (like Snake) -but you won’t feel like you are missing out on…
