Equipment maintenance guide

Safety and Longevity
Proper maintenance and safe use of your Pilates equipment are essential for both your safety and the durability of your equipment. Carefully review this guide to prevent potential injuries. Regular inspections, particularly of the springs, are crucial for maintaining safe operating conditions. Neglecting these instructions could result in serious harm.


Upholstery Care
Clean with non-alcohol wipes and follow proper disinfection protocols to maintain hygiene and extend the equipment's lifespan.


Spring Maintenance
Springs should be replaced at least every two years. However, frequent use and environmental conditions may require earlier replacements.

Regularly inspect springs for signs of wear, gaps, or kinks. Any deformities indicate the need for immediate replacement to prevent accidents.


Inspecting Bolts
Check and tighten all equipment bolts and screws monthly to maintain stability and safety during workouts.


Ropes, Straps, and Reformers
Inspect ropes and straps quarterly and replace them if frayed or worn.

Clean reformer wheels and tracks regularly to ensure smooth operation.


Cadillac and Towers
Regularly check cotter pins and sliders for wear and cleanliness to ensure safe use.

Always attach safety straps properly for bottom-sprung exercises to prevent injury.


Chair Safety Measures
Exercise caution when dismounting from chairs.

Spot users during standing exercises to minimize fall risks.


Attachment Points and Spring Resistance
Ensure springs are securely attached before use.

If you're unsure about proper spring resistance, consult a certified Pilates instructor.
