Great. Everything was timely and in good shape. Instructions for putting the reformer together are confusing. Especially need a better video on folding and unfolding. The current video is short and super fast.

I love my Nour 2.0 wooden legs!
I love my Nour 2.0 wooden legs!! The only thing that would have made my experience better was an instruction manual or a directional sheet to tell me to go to the instruction library created for consumer's.
Response from PersonalHour Pilates USMay 6, 2025
Thank you, Stephanie — we’re so happy to hear the Nour 2.0 is a great fit for you! That’s helpful feedback about the setup guidance. We’ll definitely explore creating a clearer handoff to the instruction library and app to make that part even smoother.

Highly recommend! (After 6 months of ownership)
I purchased the Nano Elite Plus reformer from Personal Hour about 6 months ago, and I am SO IMPRESSED with this reformer! I was immediately in love with how beautiful and well made the reformer was when it arrived. Now that I have thoroughly explored and enjoyed it for months, I can enthusiastically say with confidence that it is the nicest reformer I have ever worked with. I’ve been doing Pilates for over 20 years, in many studios and physical therapy facilities, and this is the third reformer that I have owned myself. It is lovely to look at, as well as sturdy, and versatile. Although it’s not the lightest reformer they make, it’s still easy enough for me to move myself, which I do pretty much daily. I have to lift it, from the heaviest side, to move it away from my wall (3-4 ft.) to workout, & then sit it back out of the way afterwards. I live in an apartment and I don’t have a separate room for my reformer so I wanted my reformer to be easy on the eyes in my living room, and this beautiful wood reformer with elegant bone colored leather, looks great in my space. There is a huge selection of colors to choose from as well. I’m very happy with my choice of reformer and with choosing Personal Hour for all of my Pilates equipment needs in the future. I plan to purchase more pieces of equipment from Personal Hour in the future, and I am currently exploring the idea of opening a public studio. If so, I will definitely be working with Personal Hour to build it. If you are considering whether to purchase a reformer from Personal Hour or another company, I highly recommend Personal Hour. I was skeptical when began my research because I had not heard of them, and the prices seemed to good to be true when compared to the older more widely known companies, but I am so glad I gave them a chance, and you should too!

Not recommend this company
We purchased 2 Nano Elite, only used once at our studio, because our client fell out of the reformer when the hook of strap get disconnected by itself, our instructor refused to use the reformers due to the safety and liability reason, I have been try to sell them, but no luck, asked for the refund but been told I have pay for the shipping fee. NOT recommend PH reformers, I don’t understand where are those 5 stars review came from!
Plus the Customer Service are awful! They were very friendly before I placed the order, then the attitude was day and night difference.
Stay away from PersonalHour!

I love my reformer
I love my reformer! I’m new to Pilates and decided I needed a reformer.
I received this reformer before they said I would get it. Pretty simple to put together. I would recommend for anyone who is interested in getting a reformer and continuing on their Pilates journey!
Response from PersonalHour Pilates USMay 5, 2025
Thank you, Tesa! It’s great to hear your reformer arrived early and was easy to set up. Wishing you a strong and inspiring start to your Pilates journey.

Janet 2.0 Review
I love my Pilates machine. I purchased the Janet 2.0 foldable reformer. The instructions to assemble where easy to follow. It did take me two hours, but I like to follow directions to a tee. It glides beautifully with no sound. Every part of the machine is built with quality. I purchased it in the color white and it provides a good aesthetic in my room. My daughter has started to love Pilates now too! I would recommend this company to everyone.
Response from PersonalHour Pilates USMay 5, 2025
Tiffany, this was such a joy to read. We're thrilled you're loving your Janet 2.0 — and even happier to hear it's inspired your daughter too! Thank you for trusting us and for the kind recommendation.
