What are the differences between this machine and the AeroPilates Reformer Plus 5 Cord w/ DVD's Pull Up Bar and Rebounder
1667636
This one has no "pull up bar," and only 4 cables, but on quick look, the Reformer Plus is much more compact at about half the length, lighter weight, less sturdy, and closer to the floor. The Pro XP 556 is elevated, takes up a TON of space and is a very heavy-duty piece of equipment. So it depends what you're looking for -- if you are shorter, and want something compact and easy to store away, don't get the 556. If you are taller or just want a higher quality piece that can stay out and take up a lot of space, the 556 is a good product for you. Also, I don't see the rebounder being very useful with something as short as the Reformer Plus 5 Cord. For rebounding, even the 556 feels a little short (and I'm only 5'3", btw).

It sounds like the Aeropilates 5 cord has the pull up bar which would be nice for building arm strength in particular, I know it also has 5 cords instead of 4, but I do not think it is necessary to have 5, you could do everything with 4. Both of these have the rebounder, so the major difference it the pull up bar, which would be nice if you are really really interested in toning your arms.

I can only find pictures of the pro machine that are short, if you can extend it longer than yes you can use the DVD and I looked at the DVD and it doesn't say what it can be used with. I like this DVD because there are different exercises than on I or II. I hope this will help?

Hi LisaMy husband built my reformer from scratch a few years ago and then retro-fitted the rebounder to fit so you would be best to get in touch of the manufacturer to find out about whether the rebounder will fit on a a made for market Pilates system. Hope it does as the rebounder is a great piece of equipment. Natassja

Not too sure. I have the EP-560. I have seen a model that was about $2500.00 and it looked too like it was made for a public Gym. I suggest you type in the model you have in question and simply see or read up on the differences. I assume it is mostly cosmetic differences. These all do about the same thing. My TV version (EP560) does it all for me.

I chose this particular model because a person is able to do more exercises on this machine. Also the resistance can be maxed out at 410lbs. Another plus is the lat pull down attachment. If you use your mind you can actually get pretty creative with the equipment available and do exercises that aren't listed

i got the pilates and found it has all the features, but adds the shoulder pads that can be unscrewed if you don't want them, and adds the toe bar (t bar at foot). it also included the normal foot plate if you want to do squats. If you have used a true pilates reformer, don't expect this to as smooth or useful, it really is just a total trainer with a couple of extras. a person who really does pilates daily, probably would not like this (or, its competition either, like chuck norris' total gym) but a pilates reformer is about 6x more expensive.

I'm not sure, but I think the only difference is the solvent package that comes with it, I would think they are the same machines?? Like I said I'm really not sure though.

The DVD that comes with the reformer had 4 workouts: 1. Total Body Workout #1 (43minutes, which is pretty good) 2. Total Body Express (25minutes, and probably my favorite) 3. Core Essentials (20minutes, also pretty good) and Stretch & Renew (22+19minutes, which I never got around to).

Same exact machine, however for the difference in price, you get two extra hoops, a starter kit with thread, and a disc with extra designs. But, machine comparison, they are the same. It's up to you whether you want to spend the extra money now, or buy the extra items as you need them. Either way, it's a great machine.

The DVD did not come with mine. But, I bought mine about 15 years ago. That was before DVDs were popular. Note that I still use my rebounder twice a day and after 15 years I'm still enjoying it.

I would assume its the measurement with the rebounder on it. I don't know about the model number. Yes, it comes with two CD's & a exercise chart. Good Luck!

I don't think there is any difference, except the storage case. You might have found some merchant who's overcharging for the item. Try searching other sites. By the way, I do like the space saving feature on on the BABHS40, but frequently when I take it out to use I have to be careful and hold the cover shut with my fingers so that the rollers don't fall out.

The difference is the handle. The 960 Ltd, it has the longer handle grip bar. I bought the one with longer handle grip. So glad I did. I can grab it and pull myself up better, especially when I am inverted at a lower angle. I absolutely love my teeter hang up EP-960 Ltd. I have four bulging disc in my lower back, and my upper back and neck issues. My doctor, a Nuero-Surgeon, even suggested using the teeter hang-up, or have surgery on my lower back. I would rather try this unit out first, before having major back surgery. After having this unit for 3 months, I am really feeling a difference. I'm not cured from the bulging disc, but it has made a huge difference in the way I feel. It has relieved the pressure on my low back and my upper back. I was in physical therapy (PT) and they did traction on me, it helped quite a bit on me. You can only go to PT for so long, and they write you off. So I needed something at home, to continue with some kind of traction. The teeter hung-up has been great for my recovery on my lower back, and the continuous relief on my upper back pain and neck pain. My endurance level has increased within the last month. It takes a few months before you really see a difference. Start with a few minutes at first, then increase your time slowly. Also start with the short inversion angle at first, then gradually increase the inversion angle to a lower angle. You need to start out slowly, or you will hurt yourself. It takes time to recover from back problems, but this has been a good investment for me. I am doing much better compared to where I was 4 months ago, even two years ago, when I was first injured with the bulging disc issue. I am standing, walking, and doing things more, and getting around a lot better now. I will use this unit all the time, just to continue strengthening by back, and have a straighter spine. Hope this helps answer your question.

The Bosu is way better!!! First of all you can use it as a "step" for workouts and as a ball for abs.Also when you flip it over to its unstable side you can ues it for push-ups, planks,rear end exercises,ect..Listen those little disks are great but limited. Go to a web site called collage video and type in BOSU in the key word section. This web site gives you previews of the videos it sells.WATCH THEM ALL and ask yourself if all of that is possible on the little disks.The BOSU is much more bang for the buck because of its versatility.Good luck!

Thank you for your review. I have a older Pro AeroPilates reformer (it's amazing but no longer sold) at our second home and was looking for a cheaper version for our main location that can be folded up and moved. (unlike the Aero) However, I do want more of a reformer not a total trainer and your review was very helpful indeed.

Different colored bands (for different weight). If you are not going to use a pull up bar up bar you will need a lat pull machine. The program emphasizes back. I do not have a pull up bar but I do have lots of other equipment including a multi lift piece. You will also need dumbbells and a mat of some sort for the floor.
