Joseph Pilates at age 57

“I must be right. Never an aspirin. Never sick a day in my life! The whole country, the whole world should do my exercises. They’d be happier.”

– Joseph Pilates

The Piates Method was originally developed in the early 1900’s by the German born athlete and physical therapy pioneer, Joseph H. Pilates.

Incorporating eastern and western philosophies of physical and mental conditioning, Pilates created this innovative approach to wellness that uniformly develops all the muscles in the body. Pilates not only strengthens the muscles that support your spine, it teaches proper movement, so that it becomes a natural part of your everyday life.

Instructors guide practitioners through a series of exercises that use the entire body so you achieve the maximum benefit without the mindless repetition. As your skill and strength increase, more challenging exercises are added and the tempo of the work speeds up.

Pilates offers you a body balancing system that leave you feeling toned, energized and refreshed!
