BE strong REFORMER PILATES
From War Camp to Global Fitness Trend
Pilates, developed by Joseph Pilates during World War II, began in a British internment camp where he used bed springs to help fellow prisoners strengthen their muscles. After the war, he opened a studio in New York, attracting attention from ballet director George Balanchine. Today, Pilates has evolved into various styles – California, New York, and British – each offering unique approaches to strength, flexibility, and rehabilitation. With its roots in resilience and innovation, Pilates remains a
powerful method for improving physical and
mental well-being.
Every moment of our life can be
the beginning of great things.
~ Joseph Pilates
