At Gratz Pilates, we stand behind the quality and craftsmanship of our apparatus. Gratz apparatus is handmade, making it unique and truly one of a kind.
We offer a comprehensive warranty to the original retail purchaser of our principal apparatus.
Gratz guarantees that our apparatus is free from defects in materials and craftsmanship when used and cared for under normal studio or home conditions.
“Defects in materials or craftsmanship” means:
Structural or manufacturing issues
Failure of welded, bonded, or constructed components due to build error
Workmanship defects that prevent the apparatus from performing as intended
Gratz offers a lifetime warranty on the major structural components of our Reformers, Classic Cadillacs, Instant Cadillacs, Studio Wall Unit Towers, and Guillotines. The lifetime warranty applies to defects in materials or craftsmanship including manufacturing issues present at delivery, structural failures related to build quality, or workmanship defects that prevent the apparatus from functioning as intended.

Gratz offers a 10-year warranty on the major structural components of our Chairs, Barrels, Mats, and Pedi Pole. These pieces are built by hand, using time-tested materials and construction methods designed to support years of daily studio use. The 10-year warranty applies to defects in materials or craftsmanship including manufacturing issues present at delivery, structural failures related to build quality, or workmanship defects that prevent the apparatus from functioning as intended.

Cosmetic changes such as scratches, dents, surface marks, chips, or fading.
Upholstery changes including scuffs, impressions, stretching, softening, or tears that develop through daily use.
Aging of materials such as leather softening or vinyl stiffening, or color variation over time.
Metal wear including surface rust, oxidation, or discoloration from normal environmental exposure.
Spring changes such as loss of tension, metal fatigue, noise, or feel changes due to regular exercise load.
