A brief history of Pilates
Joseph H. Pilates was born December 9, 1883 in Mönchengladbach, Germany.
A sickly child Pilates dedicated his time to improving his physical strength through gymnastics, body building and martial arts. In later life he also studied yoga, the movement of animals and collaborated with exercise and dance experts.
He ultimately developed a series of exercises, later to be known as “controlology” and designed his own equipment for the specific purpose of teaching his modality correctly.
In 1925 he met his wife Clara on the boat to the United States of America where they founded their New York City studio. Teaching the Pilates’ “Contrology” method they established a devoted following. Joseph Pilates died in 1967 at the age of 83 in New York.
His teaching survives through a line of Pilates disciples; his authoring of several books including Return to Life through Contrology and Your Health; and over 26 design patents.
