Balanced Body EXO Chair, Pilates Chair Exercise Equipment for Full-Body Workout, Pilates Resistance-Workout Equipment for Home Gym or Studio

I’m studying to be a certified Pilates instructor but don’t have the space for a reformer at home. Loving having the chair! Great delivery experience and arrived a bit earlier than expected

My EXO chair arrived today and I already did a chair workout using a YouTube video! I ended with a Mermaid stretch on the chair...my favorite Pilates stretch which I prefer on the chair because I get a deeper stretch (I'm longer limbed and the chair just works better for me sometimes). Wow - this chair is just lovely and I'm so excited to have one of my own that I can use every day if I want. Very well built, extremely sturdy, and quality materials. I didn't have to do a thing to put it together. It came assembled in a sturdy box with a little mini pallet protecting the bottom and you just have to unpack it which takes all of 5 minutes, remove a couple of plastic ties, and move the chair to your workout space. I was able to carry it down to my basement by myself but my son did have to carry it into the house after the fedex delivery because it was a little bulky with the box. I haven't tried out the split level aspect yet, but I'm excited to use that function because I have some imbalances I'm working on (bad left knee so that leg is weaker than right leg) and I think the split level will make it very obvious when I'm overusing one limb versus the other. I also haven't tried the free 30-day streaming video subscription service offered by Balanced Body. I'll check out some workouts there or I may do a PilatesAnytime subscription. I'm also seriously considering getting the resistance kit because I think that will take my exercises to the next level, especially since I can't get in for Pilates reformer classes right now. I know I'm preaching to the choir, but I couldn't maintain my active lifestyle without doing Pilates multiple times a week. I have a lot of injuries from my days of being a competitive athlete and Pilates keeps me going. Pilates allows me to be on my bike more too.I realize I'm writing a review after using it for one day, but I've used the EXO chair where I do Pilates for several years. And those chairs are still in excellent condition (they look brand new) after being used daily by multiple people and during multiple classes 365 days/year for almost 3 years. After one workout on this chair today, I know that it's not any different and it's all mine!In spite of everything going on in the world right now, Balanced Body got this order out and I'm very appreciative as my Pilates studio is closed due to the quickly evolving public health emergency. We've been trying to stock our mini-gym since we don't know what the near-term future will hold and this chair will easily be my favorite item besides my bike on the trainer. On a final note, I will be buying the Balanced Body Allegro 2 reformer once my budget can accommodate it and I can't wait. These items are built to last a lifetime.

I purchased this after extensive research into what I could do to exercise after herniated discs in my cervical and a disc tear in lumbar spine. I also have to deal with a progressive ( though slowly progressive) muscle disease called Parkinson's at an early age in my 40's. I was always active as a child, a runner as a teen and as an adult with 3 kids mostly walking 2 miles per day and chasing after my kids all day (when they were little) was a workout in itself, and using a treadmill, and a bayou fitness total trainer at home. All worked well but when I had the back injury everything changed. The pain from the discs.. sciatica was unimaginable... pain worse than I can describe. I have had approx. 12-15 steroid injections in last 5 years. It is very discouraging to have so many physical problems but I am trying day by day to not let it get me down. I want to keep my body as fit as I can so I can continue to function. This EXO excellent pilates chair has been amazing so far. I can use this pilates chair 2 or 3 times a day at my own pace( low resistance setting) and using the dvd is very helpful though I only do some of the exercises. I am taking it slow but I am already after 3 weeks feeling strength in my muscles and better sense of balance too. I was unable to do any exercise except for water therapy and having the EXO chair at home is wonderful for me. It is already assembled and not too heavy if you have a 15 yr old son to move it around where you need it. I love that it is portable..approx 50 pounds but it can be moved and fits in back of my van easily. I had considered a stationary exercise bike but they are hard to assemble and very heavy and would need the incredible hulk to move them around.Pro's- Assembled, and easy on muscles with different levels of resistance to meet your fitness goals from toning and strengthening muscles esp. injury recovery, chair is comfortable and very sturdy, takes up little space in a room, has a 5 year warranty.cons- expensiveThe pilates reformers ( some cheaper versions out there too) are also very good if you have the space.I'll write more later in a few months to let you all in consumer land know how this EXO Pilates chair is helping me in my daily journey to get my muscles stronger and to help with better balance.

Great customer service from vendor, these are built to order. Update shiping date to exceed expectation.

I’m using this in my home for workouts in between Pilates classes. My 94 year old mom just moved in with us so I know I will be staying home more to keep an eye on her, so this Pilates chair will be wonderful for me. And, my husband can use it too which is an additional benefit!The chair was delivered 2 weeks earlier than it was supposed to be, and without notice. Someone was supposed to sign for it, but it was just left at the front door. Luckily for us that we were home instead of out of town!!

Sturdy, well built and has 2 foot pedals instead of , making it very versatile for workouts.

The Exo Chair by Balanced Body is the best piece of exercise equipment I own. I first used it in my pilates studio and when COVID made it necessary to set up a home gym, I knew I had to have one.It fits well into a small space and you can do so much with it. While it took a few weeks to get it, it arrived earlier than promised. It came fully assembled. I simply had to release the springs from their secure wrapping and it was ready to use. I love pikes, lunges, dips, bridges, and so much more, and use the resistance springs that came with my Balanced Body Springboard for a full body workout. The combination of these can fit into a small space and do just about everything you need. For a little more than the price of half a year at my pilates studio, I have my own compact pilates studio to use any time I want, as much as I want. This is well worth the investment!!!
