What is Pilates?
The Pilates method (pronounced pul-LAH-teez) of body conditioning was developed in the 1920s by the legendary German physical trainer Joseph Hubertus Pilates (December 9, 1880-October 9, 1967).
A submaximal form of training (10 max repetition), Joe’s system was designed to improve the body’s flexibility, strength and endurance. The mind is conditioned and focused through “the art of controlled movement”.
The foundation of Joseph Pilates’ work is his Mat (floor) work, where the weight of the arms and the legs challenges the torso through a set of progressively complex movements. As he continued to develop his system, he designed unique spring resistance equipment, barrels, and “magic circles,” which have hence been integrated into the modern studio environment.
It is through developing the body uniformly as well as honing mental focus that Pilates has gained notoriety. The application of Pilates for elite athletes – as well as in physical therapy – has established its validity and versatility across the world, where it continues to grow.
