Greetings, I am the fitness buyer from Amazon.com and I saw your post. This doesn't come with a stand but one can be purchased separately. Here is the link for the one compatible with this machine (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000KKR8PU). This has 3 levels of resistance. We do carry Pilates reformers with 4 and 5 levels of resistance however be prepared to spend $1000 to $2000+ for those.

Which Stand did you end up buying? I am looking for decent one that is compatible with this kit. I would greatly appreciate your input.

Yes, the place where you put your head raises up or down. This does fold up. This is much more comfortable to get on and off than if you have it on the floor. This is two pieces. The Pilates platform is one piece and the stand that it sits on is the other piece. I love it.

I didn't realize you couldn't put more resistance on it than cycle at it's own pace. But, hey it's movement, and I know I'll be using it more than the one which requires you to cycle it. It just would have been nice to have the option, when you felt a little more energetic. Ha But I just got my machine today and I need to post a question, may not be the right place, but does anyone have one that stops moving periodically. Just wondering if this one has a short, or it just does that.

Sorry, their stands are sold separatelyBut if you don't purchase one then you would have to squat down to pick them up, and that counts as a workout ; )

Hi LisaMy husband built my reformer from scratch a few years ago and then retro-fitted the rebounder to fit so you would be best to get in touch of the manufacturer to find out about whether the rebounder will fit on a a made for market Pilates system. Hope it does as the rebounder is a great piece of equipment. Natassja

I use mine with a Brother 770, a single needle, and the stand is literally just that... a stand that sits behind the machine. It adds no other features, and I still have to manually feed the thread through for each color change. It just creates a different way to organize/feed your thread (i.e. it helps with upper thread breakage if you're having issues with that).

Stand. Put between your legs under the pelvic area and squezze. I myself could not use it as I have a bad hip. I can see where it woud help a lot as long as you can use. I gave it to my daughter and works great for her.

Actually I have not found it to be much of a problem, however, just in case, I did purchase a platform for the 1900. Having both the platform and the bar allows me to do the Pilates workout and the other workouts.

No stand, but it's not a problem for us - generally keep it lying on top of our packages of Tassimo T-disks. Works well and is easy to clean.

K Davis is asking how to replace the Pilates toe bar with a squat PLATFORM instead. I too am looking for this answer as an option for those who want a full platform, not just a "bar"...Hope someone else knows since some of us need support for doing squats and THAT requires a solid PLATFORM, not some "TOE bar".. I am considering making a platform out of plywood with padding and simply placing it up against the useless Pilates toe bar?

Hi, it doesn't come with a stand. Make sure the ankles are positioned in a way where the feet are level/flat with the surface.

Length wise you really don't need much room. It's the width. Your going to need a good five feet to the right and left of you. You'll need to extend your arms, legs ; so space to either side is vital. Since this is not movable once set up where you set it up to start has to have adequate space. I'm fond of my reformer - and if you do go with the aero Pilates stamina brand go with the version with METAL SPRING. Not the bands it's well worth the extra money. Last year when I purchased mine it was the only "studio type" reformer on the market. Since then balanced body has released a much better moveable reformer called the IQ. I would HIGHLY recommend that brand. Even with the springs on the body balance reformer you will quickly out grow the intensity of your work out. We've replaced the wheels twice and it's fully put together properly - it's not smooth like a studio reformer. Balanced body is known for studio reformers and they've done an amazing job making a home version for the same price.

no stand, comes with coiled cord that has elliptical 2-prong end.razor has a plastic slit betweeen the prongs that other razors have, so if your stand looks like this (o i o) it could work!!!
