We partnered with Jay Grimes to re-create all of the subtle functionality critical to the classical Pilates approach, and build the best version of the original Reformers in Pilates studios circa 1970.

​

The JGRIMES Contrology Reformer, in the words of Jay Grimes, is “everything you need and NOT all that other stuff you don’t.” It ships with no modifications… just the way Jay likes it.

​

If you want a different colour or a padded footbar, take a look at the 80C, 86C, or 89C Contrology Apparatus.

​​​

FEATURES:

​

• Choice of 4 models: 80” (203cm) JGRIMES, 80” (203cm) made-to-order, 86” (218cm) made-to-order, 89” (226cm) made-to-order

• Ultra-strong and durable extruded aluminum frame

• One-piece weld-free side rails are more stable for better ride, and cleaner looking (no crevices to trap dirt)

• Thin, dense, resilient foam on carriage for maximum “feel”

• Weld-free cast aluminum shoulder supports with greater structural integrity and smooth radiused corners

• Lower angle footbar position provides increased feedback while exercising

• Deeper Springbar hooks provide proper spring angle

• Made-to-order headrest block maintains position (specially requested by Jay!)

• Contoured padded shoulder blocks for a better fit

• Unpadded area around shoulder blocks creates space for feet to feel the carriage base

• Specially developed Reformer Springs provide the authentic “muddy” feel and unique sound reminiscent of Joe’s original Reformers.

• Pre-stretched and treated natural leather straps with O-rings and strap mounts for small adjustments in strap length

• NOTE: 80" JGRIMES Reformer does not support Jumpboard. If you want to add a Jumpboard, please order 86" or 89" Reformer.​​
