• Handcrafted for precision, balance, and adaptability, each Universal Aluminum Reformer provides the distinct feel and control that define authentic Pilates work. The smooth carriage movement and responsive spring tension create a connection between practitioner and apparatus that is both grounding and empowering. The 3 Gear Bar adjusts the spring angle to refine resistance and carriage travel.

  The carriage is padded with Gratz standard foam, offering a perfect balance of comfort and feedback, firm enough to maintain connection and alignment, yet supportive and comfortable for clients. A padded, textured Footbar Cover enhances comfort and grip, and adjustable leather straps ensure consistent resistance for seamless transitions. 

  While a skilled practitioner can work on any Pilates Reformer length, it’s helpful to choose a size that supports the widest range of clients, especially when working with different body types, heights, and experience levels.
  
  You can always fine-tune workouts by using the tools you already have such as adjusting gears or utilizing the Spacer or TV Box for shorter clients.
  

  For a diverse client base (skill level and height), Gratz provides these general guidelines:

  • 80":  Individuals under 5'8", longer Reformers can be too long for these individuals.
  • 86": Individuals 5'8" and 6'2", this commonly used by shorter individuals without issue. This is the most popular choice for studios with a wide range of client heights and skill levels.
  • 89": Individuals over 6'2".
    
    

  These aren’t strict rules, just helpful guidelines to support comfort and alignment. If you have questions about selecting the right size for your studio or clients, we’re always here to help.
