If you’re an advanced student looking to invest in a reformer with all the bells and whistles, this is a great option. Its higher price tag comes with a full Pilates apparatus featuring a universal reformer you can tailor to your needs.
The frame is made from sturdy Rock Maple wood and 60% post-industrial recycled aluminum. It comes with arm, leg, and roll-down springs, sheepskin hanging loops, a kuna board, belly straps, a padded foot bar, an upholstered box, a weighted pole, rubber pads, and gear blocks. However, because this is a professional-grade machine that’s custom-made when orders are placed, there tends to be a long lead time for shipment.
One customer writes, “I love the feel of Gratz equipment, especially the way you have to work to close the carriage all the way. It’s what I was trained on and now that I’ve lived all over the states I really appreciate it when I can find a studio with Gratz reformers. The design works perfectly with the purpose of the classical sequence.”
