Contrology® Reformer Springs

Contrology® Reformer Springs

The Contrology® Reformer Springs are the core resistance component of the Contrology Reformer, designed as the closest modern reproduction of Joseph Pilates’ original springs used in his New York studio.

Developed in collaboration with renowned classical instructors, these springs are engineered to deliver the distinctive “muddy” resistance, progressive engagement, and unique sound that define authentic Contrology training.

As the “heart” of the Reformer, they play a critical role in ensuring precision movement, proper muscle activation, and true classical experience.

Option: Pack of 4

Contrology® Springs are the finest version of the original Reformer springs used by Joe in his NYC studio. Fully tested for resistance and durability, our Reformer springs are a critical component in our Contrology Reformers. Developed with Jay Grimes and classical spring expert Karen Frischmann, our Reformer springs capture the authentic "muddy" feel and unique sound of the original Reformer springs.
