Balanced Body Allegro 2 Reformer review

The Allegro 2 is the reformer Balanced Body built its home and club range around since 2011, and its own store prices it from $4,050, with the newer Allegro Nextgen from $3,300. The standout part is the Infinity Footbar: it slides the full length of the aluminum frame to 9 horizontal positions and locks in 4 vertical positions, so the same machine handles short and tall users and a wider exercise list. It ships with 5 Signature Springs (3 red, 1 blue, 1 yellow), and the frame measures 94 by 31.25 inches with a height of 9 inches, or 15 inches on optional legs. Balanced Body allows vertical storage with transport wheels, which helps in a spare room. The frame carries a 10 year limited warranty, and a Tower can be added later. The trade-offs are price, partial assembly on arrival, and the care needed to stand it upright. We compared documented features and published prices; we did not test it.
