I don't have one but have used one in the past at the workout center at work about 5 years ago.  I liked it.  I will be honest and tell you I did not work out enough for it to be effective but done correctly you do feel it working your abs.  Hopefully someone who used one faithfully will give you more insight into whether they work well or not.

I would not recommend any pilates reformer for home use.  There are several great models out there at reasonable prices but here is what i've found from several years of pilates training.\n\nUnless you have taken many years of private lessons on the reformer and/or are certified in pilates, you can actually do more harm than good trying to train yourself at home without a supervising instructor present.\n\nIt is extremely easy to do the exercises with improper form - even if it feels like you are doing them correctly - then you will keep repeating this improper form unless a trained eye is there to correct you.  And that can cause some problems.  At the very least, it will render the exercise ineffective if nothing else.\n\nIf you are really bent on doing pilates - and I do highly recommend it as an excellent form of exercise as well as an excellent form of physical therapy - then I would suggest you find some group reformer classes taught by a certified professional in a setting with their equipement, not yours.  \n\nThe group reformer classes will cut down dramatically on cost yet still give you the awesome reformer sessions as opposed to the not-so-awesome pilates mat classes.\n\ngood luck to you!

I've read many fitness books and articles, and the ones involving Pilates always recommend over and over again what YOU are saying. So maybe you could try looking up articles and give him facts from fitness experts.

Limewire is usually ok, especially limewire pro (you can download that by searching for it on limewire!).\nYour best bet is to look for some which are out on DVD at the moment and search by their title rather than just by a generic term like "fitness."

I think "total training" and Lydia has videos that can be purchased online, but you need to check.

i bought this and got bored with it pretty quick.  i don't recall spending that much money on it, unless you are trying to buy several DVD's at a time.  I believe it cost me somewhere around 40.  i think it just depends on what you like.  some people like it; others don't.  i wasn't impressed.  haven't touched it since the first time.  found another kind of exercise i like and am losing inches like crazy.  best of luck to you.  try getting it cheaper, like off ebay or something.\n\ni do really like the ball though!

I haven't heard anything about Pilates having the same spiritual connotations as yoga.  I just know that Pilates focuses on your core.

Oh dear.  Did you attend one of those seminars advertised on an infomercial?  I hope it works for you.

I think you would be much better off buying one. Pilates Reformers are finely tuned pieces of equipment ... it would be like trying to build a street racing bicycle. \n\nEven cheap reformers can be very dangerous to use, it's worth it to invest in a top quality piece of equipment AND hire a trained Pilates instructor to work with you on it.\n\nSince Pilates has gotten so popular, the rate of Pilates injuries has gone way up ... it is very important to do the exercises correctly ... especially if you have health problems. Be careful!
