Who is Joseph Pilates?
Joseph H. Pilates was born in Germany in 1880. Often sick as a child, his various illnesses inspired a lifelong devotion to physical fitness. In Germany, he studied bodybuilding, boxing, and gymnastics, and he became a skilled skier and diver. At the age of 14, he was fit enough to model for anatomical charts. During World War I, Pilates created a rehabilitation program for bedridden soldiers. It was then that he began developing the exercises he called “Contrology.” After World War I, Pilates immigrated to the United States. In 1929, he and his wife, Clara, opened the first “Contrology” studio in New York City and established a following in the dance and performing arts communities. Pilates continued to teach students until the late 1960′s. Today, the “Contrology” exercises he created are known as “Pilates,” which is practiced around the world by students of all ages and from all walks of life.
