Anyone that can try this reformer prior to purchasing, would choose something else. I don’t believe the positive reviews. I have had my Elina reformer since COVID and I use it a couple times a week, but I would never buy it again. The springs are not well attached under the carriage. So even if you load up your springs, the carriage still wiggles and moves under you. It feels sloppy and is loud. There are some things i just don’t do because you can’t get the carriage to be stationary. The springs don’t sit tight under the carriage and are not securely fastened. You have to be very careful in how you change your springs or they detach from under the carriage. In addition, the springs aren’t the right tension. They are too springy. I load up extra springs, but it is not the same. It never feels like you get the settings right. I am 5’5” and I can’t ever seem to get the settings right to do things like arm circles without hitting the stopper. My knees are either too close or too far away. Really need my husband and kids to use the reformer, but the reformer doesn’t seem to accommodate people 5’9” and above. I have reached out to the company to help with knowing where to put the settings based on height. Their response was “Jennifer, I already told you several times (this was not true), that the stopper can be placed at everyplace according to the comfort of your customer, depending if he has any illness, depending in the exercise you want to practice… We sell the machines, but we are not pilates teachers.” That says a lot about the quality of their product……and they should know where to put the settings based on height. Do you honestly believe someone is stocking their studio with these reformers or writing a 5 star review? That is laughable. There was no way to try the reformer before purchasing. I got suckered in by the price and the glowing reviews. I wish I would have bought a better reformer with fewer upgrades.
