Pilates History

As a child, German-born Joseph Pilates was weak and frail. He developed his wellness regime to improve his health, physical strength, and stamina. To help overcome his childhood ailments, he began his lifelong health improvement journey. He perfected his exercise technique while in a British interment camp during World War I working with injured war victims. The Pilates exercise system was fine tuned in the 1920s and in 1926 he immigrated to the United States and opened his first fitness studio in New York City. Over the years, Pilates is now embraced worldwide and has developed into an internationally recognized method of exercise, emphasizing flexibility, balance, the core muscle strengthening.
