AeroPilates Reformer 266 ($529)
This AeroPilates Reformer gives you a full reformer-class experience in your home for just over $500. The rebounder platform makes this reformer great for scoring low-impact cardio in addition to all the strength benefits of a typical reformer machine. It also has foam shoulder pads, an adjustable headrest, cushioned foot bar, and furry hand/foot straps. The resistance comes from three elastic bungees, not springs — which is not ideal, according to Anderson and Robert, but part of what makes this pick more affordable.
The reformer comes with two workout DVDs (as well as streaming options, in case you don't have a DVD player anymore), but there's no app or comprehensive streaming platform that specifically uses this AeroPilates reformer. That said, reviewers say they've found a lot of workouts on YouTube that work with this machine.
Why we love it: This reformer is pretty affordable, as far as complete reformers go, and the rebounder platform really expands the exercise options. Reviewers note that this doesn't feel like a studio reformer, but that it's a solid investment for the price.
What's worth noting: Some reviewers note that the platform is quite narrow, which means it takes up less space but there's also less room for you to lay down. The entire reformer can fold up when you're not using it, though reviewers note it's not that easy to do, and better for longer-term storage.
