Pretty much everyone is getting into Pilates right now. Particularly Reformer Pilates that has seen a surge in popularity thanks to its ability to offer a low-impact workout that suits everyone.
Anyone looking to tone their core and build up strength will most likely be on the hunt for one of these machines to get into shape from home. That being said, they can cost up to over £1,000, which means they are a little out of our budgets.
Luckily, Lidl is about to drop its very own Crivit Reformer Pilates Machine that is said to “level up” home workouts – and it will cost from less than £100, making it a much more affordable option compared to some of the higher end brands.
With this type of workout being highly in demand, the supermarket’s machine will help fitness buffs meet their fitness goals will be able to target their full body without leaving the door. However, at such an affordable price, we highly expect it will be another fast seller.
As of today, January 22, the highly coveted piece of kit is available to click, reserve and collect for anyone signed up to Lidl Plus. Even better, members are able to bag it for just £99.99 instead of its regular £149.99, marking a 33 percent saving for app users.

Reservations on the reformer machine are available until January 25 and will be available to collect from a Lidl store between January 30 and February 2. It is worth mentioning that, most likely due to high demand, the Lidl Plus app has been crashing for some users, which may or may not be related to shoppers trying to place a reservation.
To highlight the demand for a reformer Pilates machine, rival Aldi launched its own version in the UK for the first time last summer and it quickly sold out, with the supermarket implementing a ‘ticket’ system to help ensure everyone was in with the chance of getting one.
As for Lidl’s own Crivit Reformer Pilates Machine, it boasts that multifunctional design that comes complete with three different pulley heights and five different resistance levels, making it a solid choice for beginners and pros alike.

The sturdy machine is quite heavy, weighing 31.5kg, but the folding steel frame ensures that it can easily be stored away when not in use. It also comes with a three-year warranty, offering that peace of mind if any damages are caused within that time frame.
It’s already become a bit of a hit on social media after Lidl took to Instagram to share a reel of influencer Jasmine Clough using it, which was instantly met with an enthusiastic response from shoppers who said they needed to get their hands on it.
The reel was captioned: “January is all about moving more, feeling stronger & supporting my body. Starting the year on a healthy high with at-home Pilates thanks to @lidlgb’s Crivit Reformer Pilates Machine.”
One excited shopper said: “Oh my god I need this.”
A second Instagram user responded: “Home workouts really levelled up.”
Another eager to get their hands on the fitness kit said: “Need!!”
Someone else raved: “Ahhhh my Pilates queen!!! I need this in my life.”
