ABOUT JOSEPH PILATES

Joseph Hubertus Pilates, Germany (1880-1967) was an unhealthy child, that is why he dedicated all his life to find a method to strengthen the body, so much that he turn into an athlete, swimmer and boxer to such extent that he was chosen in 1912 to teach personal defence to the detectives of Scotland Yard. In England, during World War I, he was put into a concentration camp because he was German, there he worked as a nurse and developed his method to improve the state of health of the soldiers. After the War, he returned to Germany and was so acclaimed that Hitler asked him to train the German Army but he turned down this offer and emigrated to USA. He met his wife Clara onboard the boat and together opened his studio on New York´s 8th Avenue. It rapidly attracted all the famous people, dancers and artists, who were waiting to have a session with “Joe”. All of us, who have been following the original method and have proved its effectiveness, have the responsibility to pass it on and invite others to try his brilliant work.
