Megaformer vs reformer

Many of you have asked what the difference between a Megaformer (which was just patented by the inventor Sebastien Lagree) and a reformer machine. Since my answer of "it just is" may not cut it, here is what SL had to say:

"Perhaps the greatest difference is that you can perform movements on the back of the machine and against the tension from the springs.Another difference is that the Megaformer has many accessories and components that are simply not available on the Reformer.
Together, these differences allow the user to perform thousands of movements and combination!
There are also movements that are very unique in their application such as the reversed spoon that targets the Transverse Abs like no other exercise in the world."

So there you have it. I found that there is no comparison, while I do not know the mechanics of it all I do know what the body feels like after using the Megaformer. And while I hemmed and hawed all through class, I have never felt and seen results like I did on the Megaformer. That is why I kept going back and why I am opening this studio. My body is already falling apart without it so I really had no choice but to bring it back to Boston with me!

Looks like I am going to need some subjects to practice on while SL is in town doing the training. I welcome anyone who would like to try it out and be our guinea pig as we learn to instruct! There is only one way to really experience this and its getting on it!
