I love this machine! It is easy on my back and makes it really easy to work out. This machine streches you so well that some days I wake up just craving to get on this so that it can strech me out. After just one week my posture felt better. I do wish it had a better instuctional DVD. Something that might keep you interested. The sholder bar does get in the way sometimes but overall it is worth evey penny!

Okay this is the deal. My Pilates Power Gym arrived in 10-23-09. I was really excited to get on and start the workout program. When I started, I kept track of my weight and measurements. I would measure myself ever two weeks. So, I’ve had the machine for an entire month. I started using the machine with a start weight of 261 lbs on 10-23-09. When I weighed myself again on 11-20-09, the scale said 245 lbs. I was like YES!!! My actual goal weight is 160 lbs. When I started my workout program back in May of this year I started with a starting weight of 301 lbs. When I saw the Pilates power gym on HSN a month ago, I decided to purchase it and incorporate it with my regular walking and change of eating habit. This is such a great machine, I don’t have to leave the comfort of my home to go to the gym.

I purchased the Pilates Power Gym in March and wish I had purchased it sooner! I have always had problems with my thighs, no matter whether I weighed 170 lbs or 100 lbs. For the first time in my life, I actually see definition in my thighs! I cannot believe what a dramatic change this machine has had on my body! I use it every day or every other day for about half an hour. Since I purchased it, I have convinced 3 other friends to buy it and we all LOVE it!!!

This machine is awesome in every aspect!
I did pilates regularly some years ago so I have a general idea of correct form. This machine made it very easy for me to get right back into a pilates workout. I tried all the dvd workouts that were included with this product and I don't for see a boredom problem arising. I use the PPG everyday for about one hour and with so many different exercises and options the time flies by. I find that transitioning from one exercise to the next is very easy. My teenage daughter has even taken a liking to the PPG. She has zero pilates experience but the dvd basic workout made it quite simple for her. With the tension cord , elevation options and the ease that the glide board slides to and fro , I give PPG 5 stars and an overall rating of 10.

This Pilates Gym leaves you sore for days. No support for the neck and hard to watch the video and exercise at the same time, because of neck restrictions. The board is not wide enough when folding legs. The headrest does not adjust properly. Be careful of injuries. The handle bar hit me in the head. Returning item.

I received my Pilates Power Gym on October 5th, 2009 and have used it every day. After a full day at work I look foward to getting home and relaxing on the PPG while still feeling like I've gotten a great workout.
I chose to build a routine around the PPG so it was the first habit I crafted. After six weeks of using it daily from ten minutes to thirty minutes I've lost two inches on my thighs and three in my waist and belly, this without dedicated cardio or calorie restriction.
At 5'4" I have found I hit the "end" of the machine a little too soon with some exercises, but it's still worth every penny.
I recommend the Pilates Power Gym to anyone wanting the opportunity to stretch and tone muscle and build a consistant habit of regular rejunivating exercise in their lives.

I believe I found the answer to my stiff joints. My office job can cause me to encounter lower back and hip joint stiffness from sitting all day. I have incorporated my pilates machine with daily walking and just love the way I fel now. I sleep better and perform my job better.
Age is not factor with this machine. I am 53, weigh about 200 and can use this product with no problem, plus it is fun to use.

Don't let the negative reviews scare you away. This is a great little machine very well made.
Yes it's a little tuff at first but....stick with it and you will feel and see the result. Try it you'll like it. After a few weeks you will notice your cloths getting baggy.

this machine I feel is for the person who is not a beginner as was presented to be. maybe for a person who have had some form of strength training but if a person is just a beginner it will be best not to start with this machine it is to much work and it is not as easy to slide as they make it look. and the one that I recieved there were a problem with the cord it was not operating properly.I would recommend something else. did not keep.

The machine snapped at the base where head/shoulder area is.
I received this machine on October 1, 2009. Today November 14, 2009 the top piece of the arm bar seperated from the main piece. This could have caused severe injury. It is obvious that it was not soddered correctly. It only remains connected by the pulley wire and no metal.
Right now HSN has told me that I will have to return to manufacturer because I have had the machine for a little over a month. Realize that I have only used the machine on a Saturday or Sunday since arrival. (approximately 8 to 10 extremely light uses)
I am awaiting to hear from HSN head quarters.
Be Careful with this one!

I love how sturdy it is, the only thing i don't like is that you have to be very very careful laying back and your neck is crunched between the two pullys and its very tight fit, I have knocked my ears and head a few times and if your tall I am 5'8" you have to push the bench all the way up to the top then lay down to do anything with the legs, very hard to do the leg pulls on.... they could of made the side pully holders wider and make it for taller people but it is very sturdy and I like the tension that you can set so... Its ok but you got to manuver some to use it

I have Fibromyalgia and I looked at this piece of equipment many times wondering if I could use it since everything else that I had tried had left me with sore muscles and hurting to the point of having to take pain medication. I finally decided to order and try it. I have had it for approx 6 weeks and I love it. It is great and with the ability to adjust the amount of tension you have to use it is working. I try to use it daily and it stretches my muscles and helps me to be able to do some exercises that I was unable to do at some of the other places that I have tried. (Curves) I have it here in my house and I can use it once or twice a day depending on time. If you have Fibromyalgia give it a try. I am very happy with it.

I just received my PPG and I love it! I held off on ordering because I was concerned about the quality of the machine and whether or the it would glide smooth. It's Great! I wish I had ordered it sooner. Thank you to all of those submitting great reviews...they helped me in my decision to purchase the PPG! I would highly recommend it....it's a great machine for the money!

I really Love the pilates power gym. From the moment I tried it and did the initial workout for beginners I fell in love. I felt it in all of my muscles. First I do a power walk on the treadmill for 5-7 mins..stretch it out and then I'm off to the races..
I love it. I just wish it was lighter so I can get in upstairs in my bedroom.

I wish there where more stars to add!!! This machine is plain and simply AWESOME!!! I had searched and read reviews. And I just thought "I'll just risk it". But boy was I in for a surprise!! I have worked out for the past 3 days and I am still waiting for the body aches and soreness (and I am doing just what the videos are telling me to do). I am receptionist so I am always sitting (8hrs a day) and of course never exercised before because I was always too tired to do anything. But now I feel great, and full of energy!!! Even my husband which is 6”0 tall, loves it. We have been doing 20 minutes since the first day and using the great videos. The shipping was supposed to be 7-10 days got it in 3 days…Do I recommend it???? Yes I do 200%...

Love the PPM. I hate excercise, hate sweating. 3 yrs ago bad accident left me with severe crush and partical amputation to feet and a gross amount of extra weight. With normal standard excercise no longer a option . I had to come up with another plan, after a yr of checking out these machine I finally got this one from hsn and it was the best thing I have ever done for myself. , Very Low inpact on the feet this machine has seriously changed me. it has helped lift a dark cloud . I feel better look better stopped taking so many pain med. Im so thankful I found this and finally got it. Only problem I had was getting up from it while on back , I learned to roll on my side a bit and it was no longer a problem.

The machine is not safe for you, unless you are young, skinny ,strong female like the ones on dvd. And, definately,not suitable for seniours. The bench is very narrow for shoulders/hips, there is no place to put hands on the bench. The poolmans are too close to the neck and no place for the neck or shoulders, which make it very uncomfortable. If you can get up from laying position without holding to anything, then you can use machine, otherwise,you can damage your neck.
