Pilates
Training Joseph Pilates, born in Dusseldorf, Germany in 1880, was a sickly child with asthma, rickets, and rheumatic fever. He developed an exercise method to improve his own condition, calling it The Art of Contrology, because it emphasized using the mind to control the muscles. Interned during WWI, Pilates used his technique to train fellow internees. He and his wife, Clara, immigrated to the US in 1926, and established their first studio in New York City. Pilates has enjoyed a devout following among dancers and performers, and has recently been discovered by athletes, models, and actors. Click on Listing or Photo to See More
