After doing thorough research, I chose to purchase a reformer from Casa pilates. I had an excellent experience with the purchase and delivery of my equipment. I was even able to call and get support on understanding some features of my reformer by calling and talking to Corey, ho was very helpful in explaining the different features of my reformer.

When we ordered this, I was told that it was backordered and a "container" was on a ship headed to port. I assumed that this reformer was made in China, and would be just OK. Imagine my surprise when it arrived and said Made In Turkey. The shipping packaging was outstanding, and the reformer itself is made exceptionally well. The craftsmanship and woodwork is far above average. I thought I'd be on the floor with nuts, bolts, and wrenches putting the thing together, but much to my further surprise, the unit was fully assembled except for a few minor things such as the feet and pulleys. The reformer is excellent. I have no complaints.

A+ every step of the way! Great customer service and seamless white glove delivery and set up. The reformer is streamlined and I love being able to do my Pilates whenever I want!

Just for anyone looking for their machine to call home, I have these details. The Align F3 is a really lovely machine. Very quiet and smooth motion; you’d truly not know there’s a fold. Which brings me to its advantage for small homes, being able to move it in or around your house as needed. It has a solid standing position when folded and would fit in a closet under a standard clothing rod.

I am only 5’2” with shorter legs and average waist length. The foot bar has 4 positions. The highest of those brings my hips to the proper 90 angle even in heels position. This is good since the gear bar doesn’t adjust. Still though, I don’t bottom out unexpectedly. Even then, when jumping an instructor will cue you to reach for the landing so you don’t bottom out. Then, this could happen on any machine sometimes if you don’t exercise control. So I feel like this foldable home model performs as it should even for someone with a small frame.

This model doesn’t take a platform extender. But there’s a c shape to the end of the carriage where a foot can go while one is on the standing platform. In that standing position with one foot on the platform and one on the main carriage body, my feet are still only hip width apart, so those side motions have good range. I could also fold a towel on the platform for my forearms while my hands rest on the lowered foot bar for an additional plank position. This would get me 90 degree angle start positions at shoulder and hip.

I was able to really engage my arms and shoulders using a single red or blue today while in sort of a kneeling warrior position. It was awesome! There is no zero stretch area with these springs when nearing back to start with exercise.

The jump board is incredibly comfortable and stable. Because of the way it’s padded I didn’t even miss that it wasn’t a tramp. The jumping workout was just like butter and the floating sensation on a single spring, totally achievable.

I did a snake on it today and felt safe. My snake sure isn’t perfect but that was human error, not the machine.

I am really happy with the decision to make this my Reformer home.

I am very pleased with the quality of the Elina, and I appreciated the hand-holding, professionalism and efficiency throughout the processes of delivery and set-up.

The reformer/cadillac itself is beautifully crafted. Every piece, large and small, is lovely, and they fit together brilliantly.

The White Glove Service technician was good at his job, pleasant and thorough. He had never seen a reformer before, so it may have taken him longer than the people you normally use.

Thank you again,

The Casa Pilates team was great to work with super responsive and met our needs. It came quick! We are enjoying Pilates at home when we aren’t able to get to a gym for classes and/or take a self directed 2nd class at home. The reformer is well built and relatively easy to assemble yourself (if you have had prior experience with this machine).

The team at CASA Pilates Direct was excellent. They were very knowledgeable and helped pick out the perfect reformer for my wife. The reformer itself is a great piece of equipment an easy to set up. My wife loves it!
