WHAT IS PILATES?
Reformer Pilates is a dynamic, full-body method that uses resistance and precision to build strength, balance, and control from the inside out. The reformer supports your body while challenging your core, posture, and control—so you get powerful results without high impact. Every movement is intentional, improving strength, flexibility, and alignment at the same time. Whether you’re recovering from injury, cross-training, or simply want to feel stronger and more connected to your body, Reformer Pilates helps you move better, with confidence and control. Pilates meets you where you are. It is not about pushing through pain—it’s about moving well for life.
JOSEPH PILATES
WHERE DID PILATES COME FROM?
Joseph Pilates (1883–1967) was a German physical trainer and the creator of the Pilates method, originally called “Contrology.” Inspired by his study of anatomy, yoga, and martial arts, he developed his system of exercises to build strength, flexibility, and balance through mindful, precise movement. He first applied his method to rehabilitate injured soldiers during World War I and later refined it after moving to New York, where Pilates gained popularity among dancers, athletes, and performers. Today, his work forms the foundation of the modern Pilates practice worldwide.
