FloBody ($179)
Don't have space for anything bigger than a yoga mat? FloBody has got you covered. This affordable alternative will only set you back $179. It includes an extra-long yoga mat attached to a body bar, two handle weights, a handle connector piece, various resistance bands, foot straps, woven mat holders, and a small band bag. You simply unroll the yoga mat, disconnect the body bar, weave the resistance band through the bar, and zip it back up to the yoga mat to attach. From there, you can add more resistance bands or foot straps depending on what your workout calls for. Is it effective? "Ginny and Georgia" star Brianne Howey, who's a documented fan of the device, seems to think so.
Why we love it: Dedicated shoppers say can't beat the price at $179. The app subscription is also affordable, at $15 per month or $126 per year. On the app, you can stream on-demand workouts and get access to the private community, which fans find to be incredibly supportive. The app offers access to programs that range from three days to 12 weeks. Even with the app subscription, you can take advantage of the brand's robust YouTube channel, which offers with free workout videos and other tips.
What's worth noting: If you love working with heavy resistance or the sliding carriage, this might not be the best fit. The pack comes with 5 lb, 10 lb, and 15 lb resistance bands, as opposed to the carriage reformers that typically offer more. Some users have noted that the transitions in the workouts are a little clunky and that the mat can rolls up during certain exercises, though the brand has a tips and tricks section on their website that can help address these issues.
