 Finally used it and like it....Jun 21, 2010
In 2006 or 2007, I purchased an elliptical from Fitness Quest. Fitness Quest recalled the Elliptical and told us to choose another product. I chose the Pilates Power Gym. I used it one or 2 times and didn't really like it and it just sat in the corner. Now, unable to sell the darn thing, I am being forced to use it.
The size:
It is just the right size for my house. I like wide open spaces so was concerned about a bulky machine in the house. I rolled it into the kitchen and it doesn't get in the way.
Ease of use:
At first, I was frustrated. Once I looked at the DVD some of the frustration was relieved. My main problem, however, is the use of the hand straps and the noise. My handstraps don't seem to want to move all that much and the thing makes a lot of noise.
Results:
I have only started back using it so I can't tell if there are any results. Since my hand straps are hard to use, I don't anticipate any upper body results. It seems like it could be good for the lower body though.
Would I recommend the device to others?
No, I would not. I am 5'3 and 120 pounds and I feel like my head is in a box every time I have to lay down on the thing. My body immediately tenses up having my head in a vise like device. Also, I barely fit on the thing and I am 5'3. If I were much taller, I would be very mad having to use this thing. The most frustrating part though is the narrowness of the machine. You have to be tiny to sit on this device and do stretches and so forth.
Like others have stated, if it were not such a hassle to ship it back I would have shipped it back long ago. As it stands, I am going to use the thing for stretching.

Need Core strengthing exercises to go with this great machineJun 20, 2010
I would give this a five except for 2 very important exercise information that is missing This machine is so easy to use but the DVD's lack 2 things that should be included and that is the breathing and Core strenghing exercise. I am sure if I know what I am looking for I could find them but I think this is a big minus for this product. Those are 2 aspects of Pilates that are probably the most important and they seem to be left out. If anyone has any idea of where I can get this information to go along with this machine then I would consider the machine perfect. Would love to hear from anyone...I need back strengthing exercises.

 The Easy to Use GymMay 02, 2010
My husband, 72 years old, and I, 64 years old, and both out of shape, decided to purchase the Pilates Power Gym in the hope of becoming stronger and, hopefully, losing the excess weight we've both developed over the years. Our biggest fear was that once we received the machine, we'd use it once or twice and it would become a clothes tree. Well, we each used the machine and enjoyed it so much, that we each work out on it six days out of seven each week! My husband suffered from chronic pain at the base of his neck, and since using the Pilates gym, there's no more swelling back there and no pain. I have more mobility and feel stronger than I ever have. Because the exercises are not difficult, and the 2 DVD's that came with it are easy to follow, I'd recommend this machine to anyone.

Great product!Apr 11, 2010
I love this machine. It's not too big and complicated like the Total Gym which I previously ordered and returned. Pilates Power Gym takes up much less space and is easy to move. The instructional DVD's are great too. If I had to come up with one negative (for me anyway) it would be that it has to be stored flat. I was hoping I could stand it up and roll it into the closet when not in use, but the manual advises not to do that. Other than that, it is a great machine!
