Contrology or Gratz Reformer
Hi community!
I’m planning to buy a classical reformer for home practice, and I’m currently contemplating between the Contrology and the Gratz line. I tried Contrology reformer once a while back and take classes on gratz every week. I believe they’re both good in terms of practice. Open to thoughts about differences in terms of practice!
I personally think Contrology’s thinner padding makes it look better visually. However, I’ve seen comments from folks about the quality issues of Contrology. Not sure if there are pitfalls I should know about?
Also weighing in on size: I’m 5′6″ so trying to decide between an 80″ vs 86″ frame. Wondering how much the extra length matters for someone my height and if it’s worth the jumpboard?
Would love to hear your advice / experience!! Thanks in advance!!
