Pilates developed from the hard work and mind of Joseph Pilates. Joseph Pilates was born in Germany in 1880 and he was a sickly child who suffered from the rickets and asthma among other things. He was never very athletic and as a result of his early limitations, he became determined to help others overcome their disabilities. He worked with veterans during and after World War I, helping them to recuperate from injuries. At this point, he began experimenting with springs as a method of resistance to exercise the patient’s muscles. After arriving in America, he and his wife Clara opened the first Pilates studio in New York City in 1926. Joseph Pilates died in 1967, but his techniques continued on with his students who taught others.
