Pilates Archive Reformer in Maple Wood

The Archive Reformer in Maple Wood is a vintage-inspired edition of the original Gratz Reformer, thoughtfully reintroduced to recreate the specifications and feel of early apparatus built from Joseph Pilates’ early Contrology designs. Crafted from solid maple, the frame highlights the natural character of the wood, subtle variations in grain, tone, and texture that make each piece uniquely its own. Built with firmer, denser foam on both the carriage bed and shoulder blocks, the Archive Reformer provides a more solid, less cushioned surface. The shorter, more compact shoulder blocks reflect the dimensions of early Gratz Reformers. The Gear Slots on the Gear Bar are 1 1/8” deeper than those found on the Universal Reformer, creating a greater spring angle and a subtly different resistance pattern that replicates the dynamic feel of vintage Gratz models. The Foot Bar sits lower compared to the Universal Reformer, further contributing to the distinct setup and feel. A defining feature of the Archive Reformer is its polished aluminum Foot Bar, paired with an attachable Direct Contact Foot Bar Cover. The unpadded surface provides a firmer point of contact with minimal cushioning, allowing for a more immediate and responsive connection under the feet.

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 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.
