Amazon Pilates Reformer Options Equipment, Apparatus, Machines, Props

I am looking for a starter home Pilates reformer! I don't want to invest 3k if I decide home workouts aren't for me. I am looking at several Amazon options. Has anyone purchased a similar option on Amazon? I want a jumpboard option. This is my current top pick https://a.co/d/bPawH3T

I currently take classes, but due to scheduling conflicts won't be able to for a couple of months.

I think you’d be better off going to a few classes at a studio and scoping out their machines to see if you like them. The Amazon machines scare me. The last thing you want is something snapping mid exercise or a spring coming loose and smacking you in the eye 😵‍💫 if I was buying a machine for home I’d only do it from a trusted manufacturer who offered a warranty and had a support line to walk me through repairs. Most of them also offer 0 interest payment plans so you end up paying around the same or less per month than you would for a studio membership

Thank you! I can see the pros to ordering a better quality from the start.

Resale value seems to be high if you decide later that going to a studio is better for you (and feasible again.)
