Best ever is my Backjoy but I also give another vote for BodyGym and LoBak would be a close second.

Yes, JasoninBoston, it is the Marie Osamond one. It's great for toning and resistance training.

I have bought at least 100 pieces of exercise equipment, and/or items over many decades. I have not, nor will I ever buy that type of purchase on an impulse.

 

There are many "wellness/fitness" things that can harm people, especially if used incorrectly. Actually, I never buy anything on "impulse", probably because I learned at a very young age not to spend money without researching, especially higher priced item of any sort.

 

All of my Wellness/Fitness items/machines are used for an intended result. You asked, I replied.

Your approach seems totally reasonable!!  I tend to get swept into purchasing things based the presentations and purchase on impulse without totally researching things properly!  Smiley Happy

Nothing ... never bought any ... anywhere.  I go the gym.

I didn't realize Susan did a compact reformer...I know they had/have the Power Pilates Gym...a compact reformer....but it is really compact.  Wish someone would do something similar but a little bigger with a built in stand!  I really don't care about the rebounding - prefer to walk for cardio and I get motion sickness when I try it.  


@BHawk, Power Pilates may be the same unit Susan presented on HSN. I really don't recall what it was called, but the unit could be elevated to different heights, and angles (similar to Total Gym), in order to attain varying body positions.  I would have purchased one for myself, but I am at the gym 6 days a week, and owning the Malibu chair already, I felt buying another piece of Pilates equipment for home use may have ultimately been wasteful spending (for me).  That said, compact would be the only kind of reformer I could have in my home. Like JasoninBoston, I am in a downtown (Chicago) apartment ... but mine is far from being the size of O's.

My first QVC purchase ....  Aero Pilates machine, years ago!     Heart


Do you know if that vendor and company is still on the Q?  

 

I tried finding their website earlier today and couldn't.  Then I noticed one of her products (the Pilates Spine Corrector) which I really want to get is offered on a vary popular catalog site (Hammacher Schlemmer).

Re: Favorite impulse QVC wellness or fitness purchase?

I really splurged on this recumbent bike.  

 

It's very sturdy, and there are programs where I can cycle through the northeast Maine, Niagra Falls, etc,

or through the parks out west  etc.

 

Even with sound affects, dogs barking at me.
