| I've been doing pilates for years. This was the best investment I ever made. I just turned 50 and people can't believe how toned I am. Some people thought I was fifteen years younger. Thank you so much. I was happy to see Ellen and Mari together between the both of them I am seeing the best results. Hope to see more tapes with the both of you. THANKS |

| I love this machine!!!!!. It took me a while to get started after I bought it, but now that I have started, I just cannot stop. I do a full workout every single day! It really works wonders, even my husband wants to start using it and he has never been to a gym, he hates excercises so much. Definately needs more clips. Thank you so much Hellen. |

| Much Better Than Expected | ***** |
| Date Posted: 5/30/2008 | Reviewed By: | Debra W |

| This review site is one that I read before finally making the decision to buy Ellen's machine. All I can say is it's even better than I'd hoped. The first time I worked out with it, I didn't think that the workout was intense enough to get results, but I definitely felt it the next day. The machine is sturdier than I actually expected and I find the workout time flies when you're following the DVD. Ellen is a very pleasant, watchable personality and her pace is such that you can keep up with her, but she's not wasting any time either. This is probably the best fitness equipment investment I've ever made in terms of really feeling that I'm getting my money's worth and I also really liking the workout. I went out and bought the extra clips (why quibble, definitely worth a $5 investment) and I couldn't be happier with my purchase. |

| I have never brought an item from an from an infomercial (I am by nature suspicious of them and their claims) before, and when I saw the one for ellen croft I had to watch it to the end and was late for work!
I did a bit of research on the machine and read the reviews on this site before taking the plunge and purchasing one (plus I've been taking mat pilates lesson for about 6 months at my local gym so I had high expectations) .
Believe me when I say it was the best decision I I made. Words can't express how brilliant I think it is. My only gripe was the lack of clips though it is easily solved by visit to the nearest mountaineering or hardware store.
I generally do about 3 tapes when I do the pilates session at home as I feel I've had an all over work out (esp on my abs). I've noticed the results I'm more toned and started to notice definition at the top and the sides of my stomach. I also have better posture and more toned.
I've seen the results it's up to you if you want to see the results in yourself. :0)

| I received the Supreme Pilate's Machine for my 50th Birthday and after only 4 uses doing the Accelerated Body Sculpting DVD, I can sleep all night on my side with VERY LITTLE pain in my hips, on a scale on 1-10 the pain is now about a 2 !!!!!!!!! When I get out of bed in the morning instead of being hunched over I can now stand up straight, as for the severe pain in my legs I know longer experience that. WOW what a machine!!
Ellen you have answered my prayers. Thanks so much.
As for the clips they are only $1.17 at home depot buy them. No big deal for a life finally FREE FROM PAIN |

| This was by far the best present my husband ever surprised me with. I have always worked out but truly found that this machine mixed things up and brought my fitness to another level.I love it! My only complaint is that Ellen hasn't come out with more DVD's so that those of us who have the machine can mix up routines more often! |

| This is the answer for me...fibromyagia | ***** |
| Date Posted: 6/19/2007 | Reviewed By: | kerry waddell |

| I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia 20ears ago and with every passing year it has gotten worse. Six months ago I thought about having to go on long term disability because my back, legs and forarms were so painful. I am not exagerating when I say that after four times using the Pilates Supreme Apparatus my back stopped hurting. I couldn't believe it. I woke up one morning with no back pain. For years now I'd wake up in back spasms and now they are gone!!! My legs no longer constantly hurt or my feet and my knees. I just can't believe this. Also the pain in my forearms has disappeared and as I'm typing this I'm feeling thrilled because I can type with no pain. Who cares about how many clips there are. The clips are easy to buy at a hardware store if you don't have enough!!! I love it and now can look forward to a happy and productive life. I have energy and stamina and I'm painfree. You Ellen have answered my prayers. Thank you |

| Yes you do have to pause the DVD until you get used to it and Yes it should come with 6 clips instead of 4, HOWEVER, this piece of equipment is amazing. I have only had mine for 2 weeks, used it every day and I have never felt better and my friends have noticed, they have just assumed Ive lost weight, its better posture for sure and maybe some inches, too soon to measure but its brilliant. |

| This is a fantastic system. So good I hauled it all the way to Europe. I don't have a great deal of time in my day to go to the gym and this has been the best home-alternative I've found in YEARS (and I've tried many programs). I've got old "dancer" knees and this is easy on them without compromising my workout. I really sweat too! I love the way my "core" feels after a workout and my husband is extremely pleased with my results. I feel fantastic from the inside-out -- and that's saying something for a 40-something mother of two little ones. I, too, wish their were another couple of clips -- but I manage easily. More DVDs Ellen!!! |

| LOVE this workout | ***** |

| I love this workout, and have been doing it on and off for over a year. I agree with another poster that it would be better with 6 clips rather than 4, but I solved that by getting 2 camping/climbing type clips at a local sporting goods store. I had a problem with one of the arm/foot holds coming apart early on and contacted customer service. I had my replacement, no questions asked, within a week! I also love that I can do different workouts- sometimes I use the accelerated, sometimes the Mari Winsor and sometimes the basic and feel like I'm working my whole body. I still dread doing 100s, but at least am getting results from it! I wish Ellen would come out with more DVDs for those of us who bought the equipment. |

| Didn't feel the work-out was challenging. The mat-work pilates I've done with the Winsor Pilates series gives far better results. The springs and attachments were really hard to change during the workout and I found myself having to pause the dvd in order to change them. The machine should have come with 6 clips rather than 4. |
