I am a sucker for gadgets so I am honestly a little glad that this is not for sale in the NL. I am really curious about reformer Pilates, but there is nothing local for me to try.
If you have done reformer Pilates, do you think that this could be an acceptable substitute? From videos shown on Pilates Anytime, it does not seem to replicate a lot of what is done with all the extras a reformer has (jump board, box, etc.). It can be stored compactly, but the website indicates that a space of 8' x 8' (nearly 2.5m x 2.5m) is needed to use it effectively.

I posted about this a while ago and I don't think there was much response, as noone had tried it.

Looks like the less expensive version which is called COR is sold out. It looks interesting to me but not sure I'd want to spend the money. I think I'd rather blow the money on a Pilates Stick.

I was a Club Pilates member earlier this year for several months. I really liked the reformer but decided that CP was too expensive and I went back to traditional strength training. I had only intended to do CP for a change of pace anyway. Like I said, I like the reformer but there is zero chance I will buy one so I keep looking for ways to get some of its benefits with small equipment such as bands. I am unlikely to buy this wheel, but as was wondering if anyone on VF tried it and if it is a decent sub for a reformer.
