"I love all of my Gratz equipment. It's all about feeling good after an effective Pilates workout with Gratz.
Time has proven that the traditional work of Joe Pilates works with the use of Gratz's line of equipment."

EQUIPMENT

It's been 15 years since they first opened their studio teaching Pilates to clients with varied physical needs and it never ceases to amaze them how bodies change for the better. They say that a major part of this "miracle" is achieved through the use of Gratz equipment. They had started their practice with just a reformer and a cadillac, but when the decision to expand the studio arose, due to high demand, there was no doubt in mind that Gratz equipment was the only choice to complete the full line of Pilates equipment. Now the studio is fully equipped with 5 reformers, cadillac, guillotine, high chairs, ladders barrels, wunda chairs, wall units, small barrels, and spine corrector. Even the small apparatus like the neck stretcher, toe exerciser, breath-a-cizor, push up device, and sand bag can be found in their studio.

They are confident in what their studio can offer enabling them to hold annual Romana's Pilates® Continuing Professional Education and Certification Seminars. Cecilia says that have Gratz equipment gives her the confidence in her work as a Romana's Pilates Level 3 instructor trainer. The flow of movement, one of the basic principles of Pilates, is greatly achieved by the spring mechanism of the the different apparatus. One is able to control the spings with one's intrinsic use of the powerhouse (the core). A silent workout on a Gratz apparatus can only mean control - another important principle of Pilates, which was originally called "The Art and Science of Contrology."
