Pilates??

What ever happened to Aero Pilates with Marjolian? I always felt inspired after watching her!

Pandemic, I think.

She switched to HSN for a bit, then 2020. She did and does some Facebook lives from time to time. She has videos on Youtube. She has a video library on her website that you can try free for 2 wks, then pay to join.

I wonder also, as things open back up if she will be back on the air, probably on HSN, as I think she switched from QVC years ago. Haven't seen her on QVC for about 2 to 3 years.

If you want to still be inspired there are some videos on YouTube, including her presentations on QVC and HSN. I watch them sometimes when I'm on my machine or want to be inspired and motivated again.

Just found this series on YT:

Starts with beginner level, and then progresses, apparently. I'm going to check it out! I've just started to use my machine again.

Yep.

They moved the Pilates Reformers to HSN a while ago. Then with the pandemic, once their inventory of machines got low from what I understood they couldn't get any more. So I think the shows dwindled because they didn't have much to sell.

May I ask what at home Pilates reformer you ladies own and if you like them? I go to a Pilates Mat class twice a week but would love to have the option to do reformer at home.

I enjoyed watching her and she was definitely a good spokesperson for the product and clearly it works. I don't know how old she is but she has such a lithe, strong body.
I bought one from QVC Tsv years ago and used it all the time. I would definitely consider getting another one. I've been using my husband's total gym for now.
I've never been to a class so I'm not sure how it compares to the real deal.

I have the original Reformer w/ four cords, she debuted on QVC years and years ago. I still use it at least 2 x week. I added the rebounder and have the rack that gets it up off the ground. It has to be one of my best purchases of fitness equipment.

I started out with the 3 cord. I liked it so much that I sold it and got the 4 cord and rebounder and the stand. I use it 4-5 times a week. I had it for 18 years till one of the wheels broke- I guess from age because I'm very small. I decided to buy the 5 cord with the rebounder and stand. I just got it 2 weeks ago and love it! I do notice that when I use it, I stand up straighter. I've had 2 orthapedics and a p. therapist that were shocked at how flexable I am and told me to keep doing it. It's the best purchase for me!

I had a Pilates Refomrer with the Robounding panel and I also purchased a platform for it. It was a decent machine but it took up too much room. I wish I could sell it.

Susan Lucci has endorsed Pilates and she looks amazing at 75 yrs. old!

A real Pilates Reformer machine costs a couple thousand. I have used them in studios and they are way above and beyond the machines sold at QVC and HSN. The range of motion achieved on a professional machine, pls the ability to add boxes and overhead contraptions for further stretching are beyond compare.

I have a Pilates Power Gym and I like it, but I'll take the professional reformer any day if I had the room and could afford it.
