Why buy from Purist Pilates?

Why not buy from us ?

 

  • Everything is very extensively researched and authentically proportioned.

 

  • The springs, vinyl and wheels are the same as the US brands use.

 

  • All my Classical equipment uses genuine Gratz or Tirado springs – if you need spares in the future and we're out of stock you will be able to buy replacements directly from them. They'll fit because our apparatus is built around these springs.


  • All my Modern equipment uses genuine Balanced Body or Peak springs - if you need spares in the future you'll be able to buy replacements directly from them. I made a conscious decision not to offer Purist springs as A. the minimums are huge and B. i think its better to let you have the choice of proven quality springs. 

 

  • Different companies springs aren't all the same length. If i know what your preference is i can adjust the build accordingly.


  • Uniquely, i can even combine different manufacturers springs on say a reformer: if you wanted for example, four gratz springs of same resistance and a Balanced Body blue spring inbetween for arm work, its not a problem!.

 

 

  • I upholster in Naugahyde Spirit Millenium vinyl – the highest performing vinyl there is. 

 

          [ It’s the same as the leading US classical brands use and you can choose from over 80 colours at no extra cost]

 

  • I only use the highest quality materials. Every piece is hand-built and checked by me in London. 

           [If anything, i over-engineer apparatus for strength and durability - i'm  6’ 2” and pretty heavy!]

 

  • None of my apparatus is mass produced in the Far East or modified to be flat packed into a carton prior to assembly in the UK.

 

  • I work hard at being extremely competitive on cost, without cutting any corners regarding quality, durability or authenticity.

 

  • My overheads are intentionally low – you are investing in extremely well made equipment and nothing else. 

 

 

  • I do keep a small number of part built items in stock on a rolling basis, but i mainly build to order.

 

  • Uniquely, i offer a complete customisation service with regards to the appearance of items – if you want it hand painted to blend with your interior or personalising with a name – no problem. So long as the authenticity and functionalitity isn’t compromised – why not.

 

  • Shipping is from London at cost!!! – no more gigantic shipping / customs clearance bills importing  heavy, bulky items from the US!.
