"If your spine is inflexibly stiff at 30, you are old; if it's completely flexible
at 60, you are
young…the only real guide to your true age lies not in years, or how old you THINK you feel, but…by the degree of natural and normal flexibility enjoyed by your spine throughout life."

Joseph H. Pilates


The Legacy
    Joseph H. Pilates developed his method of whole-body fitness in the early 20th century. DJoesph Pilates and the Classic Pilates Methodetermined to overcome his numerous childhood ailments, Pilates studied both eastern and western forms of exercise, eventually bringing them together with prototypes of training equipment he devised while aiding disabled and bedridden soldiers and detainees during WWI.

"Pilates is the most practical and personalized form of exercise available today." 

Joseph Pilates, Teaser    Joseph created a unique system of movement training using resistance-based equipment designed to uniformly develop the body. Today, his low-impact movement techniques represent an approach to exercise prompting a mind-body connection to perform movements with precision and effectiveness. The result is in an agile and structurally sound body. With more than 500 exercises, Pilates is designed to facilitate various body types accommodating the needs of any number of postural patterns, muscular imbalances, health conditions and injuries a client might present. This intelligent exercise offers benefits for everyone, from those in therapeutic recovery, to those seeking alternatives to repetitive workouts; from seniors looking to extend their quality of life, to elite athletes desiring the competitive edge.

     Pilates emphasizes the development of the body’s core strength (the area of the torso between the ribs and hips), targeting the deeper muscles in the body closest to the spine. It also engages more muscles comprehensively to perform each movement, teaching the body to work harmoniously and minimizing the need for numerous repetitions.

 The Elders

     Pilates is the most practical and personalized form of exercise available today, carried forward by The Elders (the First Generation Teachers of the Pilates Method) who studied directly with both Joseph and Clara (Joseph's wife) Pilates. Their knowledge continues to permeate the Pilates community and there are elders who continue their work to this day.

The Journey

     Pilates reshapes the body without stressing the joints and affects how individuals use their bodies to undertake the daily activities of life. Unlike other forms of fitness training and body conditioning which focus on fitness for fitness sake, Pilates offers a personal fitness journey for lifelong health. Becoming involved in a Pilates program will change the way you think about your body, exercise, and ultimately your total well-being.
