Reformer pilates

Lidl recently advertised this Reformer Pilates machine for (I think) £99.99, but you have to reserve it, and now they're all booked up, to be sold.
I haven't got the room, and I don't want Nigel 'Reformer' Farage looking up me shorts.
(edit: forgot to add pic, but just Google Lidl Reformer Crivit)

I pay £100 a month for 9 x 45 minute reformer pilates sessions which works out much cheaper than pay as you go. There are only 6 people in the classes, they are run by physiotherapists and I always feel like I've worked hard. I enjoy the exercise and how my body feels afterwards. I am so much stronger, more flexible and energetic than I was before. I haven't really lost weight but my body has certainly changed shape for the better and I carry myself better too. I've recently taken up running too and the pilates means my legs are much stronger than before and I don't have any aches or pains after a run because as a result. It's definitely worth the money in my opinion. In fact my daughter also has the same membership but can't use it at the moment as she has recently had surgery so I've taken over her membership too - £200 a month for 18 classes. I'm going to miss the extra classes when she is able to return to pilates. I've thought of getting a reformer at home but I think I'd struggle to stick at it and also wouldn't push myself. Having paid membership and booked classes means I have to turn up as I hate wasting money!

I pay £200pm for unlimited classes, just finished on Monjaro was doing both for a year completely transformed my body do 4-5 classes per week x

It is expensive, about £25 a class here but for me it’s worth it. I really enjoy the exercise, paying for a membership makes me go and I am so much stronger.
I am 50 and have had some health issues where I can’t do high impact exercise so I prioritise paying for this. Where I go is independent and always busy. It’s been going for years so there’s clearly lots of people that pay for these classes.

Have you ever tried couch to 5k? I did it when I was trying to ease back into running after surgery and it really is brilliant.

If you're happy running or walking for cardio, I don't think you need a gym membership on top. I do it twice a week with a PT and run 3x a week.

I'd love to do something like this in an ideal world, but realistically I will never be the type of person to get up early enough (my local place seems to like doing 6 or 7am classes), and I hate paying for any type of fitness class when I can find a free workout on YouTube and do something at home.

I go twice a week at £20 a class, and have done for the last two years. Is the only thing I have ever found that I enjoy, it has changed my body, and the way I think about my body. At 50, I am stronger, fitter and more active than I have ever been. Don’t pay for a gym membership, or anything else fitness wise. My studio is not insta perfect, or flash, but the teachers are superb, and I hope I never have to stop going.

Oh yeah. Reformer Pilates. . I paid £25 for a session, didn’t think for a moment it would trigger my motion / travel sickness and ended the hour by throwing up outside in a bush.

never again

I didn’t lose a single lb doing Pilates twice a week…

I get a 10 pack for 130 and each class is 50 minutes long. I gave it a try because I had lost a lot of muscle due to fast weight loss post bereavement and was suffering with a bad back. The strength it has given me back plus I can now start to see muscle growth is something I can't put a price on. I've had to cut my cloth in other areas to be to afford the classes but at almost 52 I need to put my health first.

I think it’s because the classes are usually a lot smaller than standard exercise classes because of the equipment. I’ve tried multiple times to get into it but always end up coming away with some form of injury so I’ve had to admit defeat (which is not such a bad thing for my bank balance!!)

I bought a floor reformer, put it on bed risers, and I'm set.

I've done mat pilates before in classes, but the Reformer classes are priced outrageously.

I go three times a week. I get the classes included as part of my (admittedly expensive) gym membership. I also use the pool, do spin, yoga and soundbaths pretty regularly so I think it represents reasonable value for money.

Reformer is the only exercise I really enjoy and have stuck at. I've been doing reformer regularly now for 8 years. I'm still overweight. But I'm strong. It feels important to maintain this as I age.

I've been a member of the expensive gym now for almost four years. This is the only time I've stuck with gym memebership for more than two years.

Well some people pay £200 per month for weight loss injections which would pay for two classes a week.
So clearly people have money for the things they want.

I wouldn't pay it. I suppose for people who have the money and want to do it, it's fine, and I guess some people must pay it. Like with super expensive restaurants holidays and the rest of it.

The studio near me is always full and people cannot get enough of it. I go once a week, I pay £120 for 8 classes. I also have my gym membership which is £45 which I use an additional 3 times a week.

I’ve tried it a few times but genuinely find regular mat Pilates harder. So as mat is cheaper, I largely stick to that!
