This most highly effective, efficient, and natural form of exercise was designed by German-born Joseph Hubertus Pilates in the early 1900's. First known as "Contrology" and then later coined Pilates, his system of movement was developed to guide people towards uniform health and wellness.

Teaching and transforming everyone from sick and wounded internees during WWI in Germany to boxers, dancers, artists and the elite later in New York City, Joseph Pilates was generations ahead of his time.Today's generations are in even greater need of his method. Hectic lifestyles, work overload and stress contribute to an overwhelming build-up of toxins, tightness, weight flux, anxiety, and depression.
