What is Pilates
Pilates was developed in the early 20th century by German physical trainer Joseph Pilates who as child, had illnesses. He tried to overcome the effects of his sickness, by researching different exercise methods. He became fond of the idea of being balanced in body, mind and spirit, so used it to design his own exercise method. Pilates called his exercise "Contrology" because of the way it helped to control and unify the body, mind and spirit. After Pilates passed away Contrology was renamed to Pilates.
