Aldi have been forced to introduce a ticketed system for their viral £150 reformer Pilates machine after customers caused chaos as they battled to get one in the aisles.
Chaos erupted at Aldi locations across the country over the weekend as shoppers tussled over the bargain workout machine which is £1,750 less than the Original Fold Reformer (£1,899.99) and sold out in minutes.
The discount supermarket chain launched its own version of the machine used in exercise routines boasting a celebrity following including the likes of Jennifer Aniston, Margot Robbie and Hailey Bieber.
Classes can exceed £35 a time and instructors advise people to practice three times a week, making it an expensive hobby popular with the middle classes.
Yet the equipment now offered by German retail firm Aldi has tempted many with the promise of a cheaper way to get involved - while also sparking friction in stores.
