How often should reformer springs be replaced?

Every three to five years in studio use, longer at home. Measure unloaded free length against the manufacturer spec — a fatigued spring sits long.

Can I replace just one spring or rope?

Replace springs as a set and ropes in pairs. A new component alongside a fatigued one creates an asymmetry that clients feel and teachers may misread.

How do I know which parts fit my machine?

Model and serial number determine fitment. Photograph the serial plate when the machine is delivered — ordering the right part years later depends on it.

Choosing from this range

Springs, ropes, wheels and upholstery are consumables. On a machine designed to be serviced they are a routine replacement; on one that is not, their failure is what ends the machine. Keeping them replaced on schedule is what makes the difference between a reformer that lasts twenty years and one that feels tired at five.

Match replacements to the original specification rather than to rate alone — free length and end fitting both affect how a spring behaves at the carriage home position.

What to check when ordering parts

Your model and serial number, which determine fitment
Spring free length and end fitting, not just the rate
Replace springs and ropes as a set or in pairs, never singly
Wheels as a full set, so the carriage sits level
Order before the service, so a machine is not left part-dismantled
