Balanced Body Standard Sitting Box for Pilates Reformer, Pilates Equipment for Home Workouts and Professional Studio Use

I waited a couple of years to buy this because I thought I wouldn't need or use it. This box fits my Balanced Body Allegro II reformer perfectly. I ordered it from Amazon due to free and faster shipping. Balanced Body's website said it may take 2 weeks to receive, and Amazon delivered it in less than 8 days with one day being a holiday. Shipping would have cost $21.80 from Balanced Body and was complimentary from Amazon. It came in a box within a box (the sitting box was in a Balanced Body Box, and that box was in an Amazon box delivered by UPS). Because the item was in a box within in a box, it was well protected and there was no damage, despite the item being of sturdy styrofoam-like material. I was familiar with the sitting box because a pilates studio that I have been to has them, so I knew what to expect. The sitting box is surprisingly light weight yet extremely sturdy. Some of the other sitting boxes in studios can be quite heavy and cumbersome. I know it was easy to put on the reformer correctly, because my husband took it upstairs and promptly put it on the reformer correctly (and he doesn't know anything about them). He said it was intuitive. It fits snugly over the shoulder rests and is very stable. The sitting box is 31 inches deep, 17 inches wide and 10 3/4 inches high and weighs 4 1/2 pounds. It is easy to remove because it is so lightweight and doesn't need anything to attach it to the reformer (it goes over the shoulder rests). It gives me many more exercise possibilities of using the reformer with attached tower than just the carriage/tower alone. It is amazing that such a lightweight sitting box can withstand so much body weight and yet be comfortable! It's a good value as a standard sitting box costs about $375. I can return this within 30 days at no charge, but I will be keeping it for a very long time.

Had to find something lighter than my traditional Pilates box due to osteoarthritis in my wrists. This product makes it easier and less painful for me to set up for my sessions. I did have to use a non-slip pad under it as it does slide around our hardwood floors, and it’s lower than my original Pilates box—I have to use two sitting pads to replicate the normal height. Other than that, I’m very happy with this product.

Pilates reformer body work & floor work, versital applications. Easy to move out of the way when not in use - lightweight.

Good option for at home use. Very light weight. It works great, but I do have concerns about durability for long term use.

Better than expected. It's much easier to move around than a standard wooden box. I was worried it wouldn't fit over the shoulder rests of the AeroPilates 556, but it fits perfectly. I'm glad I ordered and it arrived super fast.
