Elina Pilates vs. Balanced Body

Many Pilates enthusiasts wonder about how the quality of Elina stacks up to one of the market leaders in the US - Balanced Body and the Allegro reformer line.

If you're considering purchasing the Elina as a more affordable alternative to Balanced Body here's what you need to know:

Material Quality

The Elina carriage, shoulder blocks, foot bar, box, and springboard offer enhanced comfort against the Balanced Body. This is due to extra padding and they are also known for their premium upholstery and customizable colors.

Carriage and Foot Bar

Users say the carriage ride is of very similar quality, but the Elina carriage on most models is slightly shorter in length. The Elina foot bar does have four elevated foot bar positions compared to three on the Allegro.

Springs

Balanced Body springs are a bit stronger. For example, Elina's red springs are weaker than the Balanced Body red, so in using the Elina you may have to adjust to a green if needed. 

Component Parts

Pegs and riser components on the Elina models are both made of metal, compared to wood and plastic on the Balanced Body reformer. The Elina's gearing system is a bit different but easy to use.

Accessories

Finally, all Elina reformers come with accessories included like the jump board and box, so usually customers are saving a few thousand compared to the same package from Balanced Body. The jump board from Elina is also slightly larger in size, and the box has rounded edges instead of angled corners.
