Pilate Reformer: Key features
These are the home gym devices that appear like a rowing machine with a frame and a carriage to roll back and forth. An array of springs, ropes, and pulleys provides the resistance needed for a full-body workout. The right amount of tension and resistance needed can be obtained by adjusting the springs depending on your fitness level.
Practically, the frames should be sturdy and stable while assessing them to ensure that they don't wobble or creak.
One of the best advantages of a reformer is that frames can be folded up when not in use which helps in organizing your home gym space over other equipment such as a treadmill or spin bike.
