User questions & answers

Question:	Do you sell manuals for this machine
Answer:	One comes with it
Question:	What are the dimensions of this item
Answer:	16" wide 53" long
Question:	How smooth does this glide? I have used the Stamina Pilates reformer before and it did not glide smooth like the professional reformers
Answer:	Honestly...it's not very smooth. It seems like the more we use it, the less smooth it gets. There is a "bump" at a certain point during each glide. It's kind of annoying.
Question:	does it have thefoot exercises
Answer:	I'm not exactly sure what you mean by the foot exercises, but it does have the cables and bands to go around your feet so you can exercise your legs. Everything in the picture comes with it and mine was basically assembled.

Product description

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.

• Adjustable resistance with 4 heavy-duty, elastic bungee cords
• Padded platform (20 inch wide)
• Patented cardio Rebounder
• Padded, wider foot bar
• Large AeroPilates Stand included, which elevates the reformer 10" off the ground
• Dimensions: 86.25 x 20 x 34.5
• Padded, 3-position adjustable head rest

User questions & answers

Question:	What is the max weight/height capacity
Answer:	Thank you for your question about the AeroPilates by Stamina Reformer. This machine has a weight limit of 300 lbs and is 86.25 " long. If you have any questions feel free to contact our Customer Care Team at 1-800-375-7520 Monday-Thursday 7:30-5 or Friday 8-3 central. Have a great day! Stamina Products Customer Care Specialist
Question:	Good for back pain
Answer:	For me, yes. I have low back pain and I use it to stretch my hamstrings an build core strength.
Question:	How difficult is the 55-4651 aeropilates to assemble. would i need an expert to put it together
Answer:	I just bought this, the Aeropilates 651, for my wife. The build was rather simple. I put it together myself at a casual pace in 20min with just barely glancing at the instructions. Everything is pretty straight forward.
Question:	want to know what is all included with Aeropilates by stanima reformer
Answer:	I purchased the Aeropilates #4651 Reformer. Major features included are the full size bouncy rebounder, large size stand, which elevates unit 10-inches off ground, the furry handle covers for arm/leg straps, the 20-inch wide padded bench, one dvd "Primer" instructional video (I separately purchased others), full size padded foot bar. This unit can be lifted off the stand and then folder in half for storing, but I would recommend leaving it out and ready to use! Another good feature is the quick length adjusters for each pulley rope. They adjust with a closed clip which can be easily clipped in different length positions. Once you set your desired length for the straps you may not need to change this length, but if anyone else uses your machine, they might want to adjust. Other units you have to untie/tie a knot to adjust and that is not as favorable. That feature was one of the top reasons I purchased this unit. This machine also comes with a large wall chart with exercise instructions. I have also found youtube has many posted workout videos which are fun. I personally like to do an upper body workout one day and then a lower body workout on separate days.

User questions & answers

Question:	How much space do I need to have on either side? Just enough for my arms to swing or more than that
Answer:	Hello! You should have enough space for both arms and legs to open the maximum range you have to the sides. Hope that helps!
Question:	I am mechanically challenged. Just how complicated is it to set up
Answer:	Thank you for your interest in our SPX Home Reformer! This unit comes 90% assembled for easy set-up. It also includes an assembly manual (http://www.merrithew.com/support/equipment-manuals-assembly) and typically takes 15-20 minutes to assemble. If you have any further questions regarding your SPX Home Reformer model, our manufacturing process or our premier brand, STOTT PILATES®, please contact [email protected].
Question:	Are the springs replaceable if they wear out
Answer:	Yes. If they are not on amazon, Merrithew/Stott sells them from their website. I actually recommend buying their 25% spring and sub it for one of the red(100%) springs that the machine comes with.
Question:	What is approx resistance on coils ? Can more resistance coils be purchased
Answer:	I am not sure if you need more resistance for tougher work out? in that sense all coils could be used together, at the strength of one full spring. I personally use no more than 2 to 3 springs for different muscles out of the 5 springs available to me. I am not sure how much resistance is in each spring and if more resistance is offered on the market other than a full spring/coil or 1/2 a spring and a 1/4 of a spring.
