[quote=Anonymous]I have an allegro 2 reformer with a tower and jump board.
I got it before the pandemic.  I had been taking private and group sessions for a couple of years-closest studio to me was 1.25 hrs away (I live in a rural area now).

It is very easy to use and is very solid, I had used the Allegro 2 and the Balanced Body studio reformer in studio.  Balanced Body was having a little bit of a sale on the Allegro 2 and b/c I was wiling to go with the standard grey it was shipping in a matter of days, whereas if I had been set on the studio reformer it was a little higher in price and I did not want the black upholstery, so it would have taken even longer to get the grey or cream upholstery.

During the pandemic my instructor started offering sessions over facetime/ zoom.  So I practice with her 2x a week virtually.  B/c I had been taking pilates for a couple of years before switching to zoom I was familiar with most of the exercises and my instructor is great a cueing, it has worked out really well.

Sometimes I will put myself through beginner or intermediate or do a youtube video for jumpboard-something that is not overly complicated as my exercise for a day when I haven't been able to do something else or I just feel like I need what pilates gives me.

On a side note, on the question or comment on the cost of a private session, you are paying for training and expertise.
A good pilates instructor has gone through a comprehensive program that is 600 hrs, with test outs at each level and completes continuing education courses.  A classical comprehensive training program costs about $4500.00.
I do not begrudge my instructor her hourly rate at all.[/quote]
