About Pilates

“In ten sessions you'll feel the difference,
in twenty you'll see the difference,
and in thirty you'll have a new body."
- Joseph Pilates -

History of Pilates

Pilates is a physical fitness system developed in the early 20th century by Joseph Pilates in Germany.
Joseph Pilates was a boxer and gymnast whose theories about how the body moves were first developed in World War One at a prisoner of war camp where he served as a medic and nurse. To rehabilitate wounded soldiers he attached springs to the hospital beds and today, Pilates equipment still uses springs for resistance.
