" I don't have one, but I would LOVE it!! I have been looking into pilates methods - there are different ones and pretty much decided to invest in a Stott Pilates beginner pack - with the pad and DVD. Stott is supposed to be for people with chronic pain or back injuries, so I am hopeful! A machine that would even keep ya off the floor sounds wonderful! "

" I haven't seen the TV commercial. I'm getting evaluated at a pilates studio tomorrow and hopefully will take some private sessions on a machine called a reformer. I feel like I could fight my back pain better if I could be stronger. You may want to check for pilates studios in your area, so you could try and get some instructions before investing. Just a thought. "

" I haven't seen the commercial but if there is a way to use pilates w/o getting down on the floor I'm all for it. Once you get down on the floor you have the problem of getting up! "
