StaminaPilates Reformer Stand

Great product

This stand was so easy to assemble. It's sturdy and it lifted my performer approximately 10 inches off the floor. I'm 68 years old and I had issues getting off the floor. Now I have the ability to use the machine again. Just a quick note, it takes two people to lift the performer and guide it into place. I'm loving this stand.

UPDATED Jun 14, 2020: I reordered the 55-4050 stand after being told it has two different sized widths at either end. I've just received a box labeled 55-4050A. I've reached out to Stamina to find out if the "A" model is the right stand for my 55-4379 BEFORE I open this box.UPDATED June 9, 2020: IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THIS STAND DOES FIT THE PLUS model (55-4379). I purchased from AMAZON (Haus Appeal) back in APRIL and returned because the stand appeared NOT TO FIT my Aero Pilates Reformer 379 Plus. I've just received word back from STAMINA that the two ENDS of the stand are DIFFERENT WIDTHS and all I had to do was TURN THE REFORMER AROUND and it would have fit. STAMINA sent me a pix showing the proper positioning and informed me of the difference in widths on either end. AS IT STANDS...it doesn't look like Amazon is even selling the 379 Plus anymore...so this whole scenario may be a waste of time, both for myself in retyping this review, and/or for the person reading it. HOWEVER, if you have ANY model that doesn't appear to fit on the stand...try reversing the placement of the reformer! : )

Aeropilates machine are much more popular than I realized because this stand also took awhile to be back in stock. As much as I hate to say it, having this stand does make the machine much better... particularly if you're used to practicing on reformers in a studio. However, not having it isn't the end of the world. If you plan to store your machine after each use, then this stand wouldn't be necessary.Main exercises that would really benefit from this stand (imho) would probably be short and long box series if you also purchased the long box from Aeropilates (I did) - overall that is a small fraction of the practice. In fact, I don't really think I can do pull-straps properly without the extra height. So I was kind of stuck since I already purchased the box. If you don't really use the box, you can also consider skipping this.I work in front of a mirror and having the extra height also makes it easier for me to check my form.All in all, if you already have a machine and use it regularly with extra space to spare - get this! Else, you can probably skip.

This was a great investment. Makes getting on and off my Aero Pilates Machine so much easier. I very much recommend this sturdy, well built, easy-to-use stand! You will not regret this purchase.

This MEDIUM sized stand will fit the 354 Plus model Aeropilates machine that is very popular now and I love it except for the chemical smell of this stand. I am not sure where the smell is coming from but I assume the rubber feet as it is a sort of rubbery smell. Others have complained about this but they say it goes away in a week so I guess I will find out in a week. To tolerate the smell, since I put it in my huge great room where I watch TV, I plugged in a Hepa filter air cleaner set on high next to it.I am a Senior age Plus sized gal and this is a great sturdy unit but it is not something to set up and put away after each use....so put it where you can leave it out and use it daily. It is big and so you need to have a space for it as large as a queen bed so you have area to do the excercises-so you cannot wedge it next to a wall. A dedicated room as the "gym room" is the best idea.The stand is needed for a Pilates machine for people with joint or back problems and better workouts. It is pretty easy to get on and off but be sure to hold on to the bar and set a cord or two before getting on or off for stability.If you are Plus sized or have kyphosis of your back (hump on back) as many elderly do, simply lay your bed's memory foam pillow over the top of whole head section and get on....do not think you cannot use this-you CAN with that memory foam pillow to accommodate your Plus size or back problem even though they make these machines based on thin, straight backed, active people.It will work for you if you weigh less than 300lbs and use your own memory foam pillow for gentle Happy Pilate Workouts!

I was so disappointed when it seemed too small for my 4-cord reformer. Thankfully a reviewer here noted that she called for the same issue and customer service told her to turn the stand around since the ends are slightly different widths.THIS WOULD BE USEFUL INFORMATION TO INCLUDE IN THE PACKAGING AND AMAZON DESCRIPTION!Anyway I love you lady whoever you are. Thank you so much for saving me a ton of time and frustration! 💋The stand itself is much easier to assemble than you’d expect and took me all of five minutes, no tools required. One of the pins on mine won’t go through all the way but it’s still quite secure. I will use my reformer much more now that I don’t have to roll off the floor to get off, lol.I also got the non-skid mat from this company and highly recommend it if that’s also an issue for you. Both items arrived well packaged, are very high quality, and worth every penny!I now have a perfect home Pilates set up! 😍

The extra height is great for using this reformer. Thought it didn't fit, at first, because there were no instructions in the box. Found the manual online and realized there is a narrow end and a wider end on the reformer. It fits.
