An innovative exercise method that was created almost a century ago
Pilates is a physical training method named after its creator, Joseph Pilates, who developed it almost 100 years ago. Joseph Pilates called his method Contrology, and he described it as the complete coordination of body, mind and spirit. Pilates is an effective, safe method of exercise that is performed on specialist apparatus. Pilates is a detailed system of exercises that help to increase strength, flexibility, coordination, balance, control, and is a highly effective way to prevent and recover from injury.
From Exclusive Studio to Global Phenomenon
Over the past few decades, Pilates has grown from a highly exclusive form of exercises studied only at Joseph Pilates' studio in New York City to a household name studied worldwide by millions. Joseph Pilates was a genius well beyond his time. He didn't just develop a brilliant approach to fitness and wellbeing, he also engineered specialist equipment and apparatus for the exercises to be performed on. Pilates can work wonders when applied by a qualified instructor who understands how to develop and tailor a workout specific to the clients goals, needs and capabilities. When studied and applied correctly, Pilates will make you look, feel and move better.
