What is Pilates?
Pilates is a form of exercise developed by a
physical therapist Joseph Pilates. Born in
Germany in 1880 Pilates was a small sickly child,
To improve his health, Pilates developed
exercises that would make him strong and
healthy.
During World War I, Pilates was drafted into the
armed forces. There he began to design
equipment for use with his exercises. These
combinations of exercisers and equipment were
used to rehabilitate injured war victims.
Pilates' goal was for precision in movement.
Each movement initiated by the group of muscles
known as "the core". While performing the series
of movements, a client can expect to experience
relaxation and exertion thus providing a perfect
balance for strengthening the abdominals, "the
core" and spine while improving bone mass. The
results is a centered mind and body... a healthy
new YOU!
