ABOUT PILATES
Joseph H. Pilates was born in Germany in the year 1880. It was while rehabilitating disabled people during World War I that Pilates began to create the machines and exercise regime that he is famous for today. Pilates used springs from hospital beds to provide resistance for strengthening the body. His work quickly gained notice and popularity with dance legends Martha Graham, Ted Shawn, Alvin Ailey and Jerome Robbins. Although the fitness industry has just begun to recognize the benefits of Joe's work, professional dancers have always considered Pilates an integral part of their training.
Pilates is a sequence of exercises developed and practiced to simultaneously stretch, strengthen, tone and align the body, while eliminating excess tension and strain on the joints. Workouts are performed on specialized, spring-based resistance equipment which encourages core strength and won't bulk muscles. All sessions focus on the quality, not the quantity of the exercise. It is the mind-body connection that truly makes Pilates unique.
