I love the series at the end the planking. I did your other planking abs video twice a week for a month(December) I could totally see the difference and feel it to. The first time I did it I couldn’t hold it very long or lift my leg. By the end of the month I was groovin 😂 Thank you as always ❤️🩰
This is really a great video. I’m a new instructor and have been contemplating getting the metro IQ. I now see that it should work perfectly for me. If you have any thoughts about the machine that you’d like to share, I would appreciate it. If not, no problem! You have beautiful form and great cues. Thank you so much for sharing. ❤
Gwen, thank you so much for your kind comments, and congratulations on getting your cert! It’s a big achievement, and I hope that you had a fun journey. I think you will really like the metro IQ - I am very satisfied with it. I’m not sure if you have experience with Balanced Body reformers, but the action feels similar to other models. IMO, it’s as close to the feel of a studio quality reformer as you’re going to get with a home model, and the resistance is the same as you get with any reformer with BB springs. There are a couple of nuances to work around, all of which are surmountable, but it may be helpful to know upfront. My model is three years old, so some of these may not be the case for the latest version, FYI. The first is the footbar doesn’t tilt down - you remove it altogether. The second is that it does sit on the floor, so certain things like pulling straps require modification, but it’s doable. On my machine at least when the straps aren’t in use, the ropes can get caught a bit as the carriage moves if they’re not positioned in a specific way, which isn’t a big deal but I had to train myself on. It’s really sturdy, it stores well, and it’s a great value, and you can most definitely get a comparable experience to a studio reformer with some modifications. I recommend it!
Thanks for putting in a bunch of lower ab exercises. I’ve never done the rowing but like it, oddly enough it stretched out the parts that get tight from using the rowing machine. I’m up for more of it.
Nice! I’m needing to focus on lower abs for my own rehab reasons, and I’m glad to hear that it’s helpful for you, too. :) I will definitely keep both in mind next time I am recording! ❤️🙏
Love your videos! I ordered the Metro IQ, but I don't think it comes with the same straps that you have. Did you change yours out or did yours come with those?
Thanks Jennifer! I have a slightly older model from about 2 years ago - Balanced Body replaced the rope and attachments on most of their models with the style you have in the last year, which is supposed to be easier to adjust and quieter. Not sure if it can be retrofitted to use hardware attachments, but I’m betting their customer service department could tell you for sure.

This was awesome! Thank you. I’m new to Pilates, bought a second-hand machine and am trying to learn these moves.
Awesome! That's a great find. Let me know if you have any questions or need guidance as you're getting started.
