Pilates

The Pilates Method requires concentration and coordinated breathing – strengthening both  the body and the mind. This Method is taught one-on-one or in small  groups so our certified trainers can tailor the exercises to each  individual’s fitness needs, even in cases of previous injury. Pilates  focuses on quality of movement and the individual so it is a system for every age and gender.

Your strength, flexibility, balance and  concentration are developed through simple effective exercises designed  to lengthen your musculature while increasing muscle definition and  endurance.

 Pilates  Pavilion is fully equipped with  Reformers, Wunda Chairs, Tower Units,  Barrels and a Cadillac.  All of our equipment is manufactured by  Balanced Body, the worldwide leader in professional Pilates studio  equipment.

History of Pilates

Joseph Pilates

Born in Germany in 1880,  Joseph H. Pilates had a lifelong interest in body conditioning. As a  frail child dedicated to becoming stronger, he later grew to become an  accomplished skier, diver, gymnast, and boxer. While interned in England  during World War I for his German citizenship, Joseph became a nurse.  During this time, he designed exercise apparatus for immobilized  patients by attaching springs to hospital beds. This system formed the  foundation for his style of body conditioning and specialized exercise  apparatus, which he brought to New York City when he opened the first  Pilates Studio™ in 1926. 

Joe continued to train clients at his  studio until his death in 1967, at the age of 87. In the 1970s,  Hollywood celebrities discovered Pilates via Ron Fletcher's studio in  Beverly Hills. 

Where the stars go, the media follows. In the  late 1980s, the media began to cover Pilates extensively. The public  took note, and the Pilates business boomed. "I'm fifty years ahead of my  time," Joe once claimed. He was right. No longer the workout for the  elite, Pilates has entered the fitness mainstream. Today, over 10  million Americans practice Pilates, and the numbers continue to grow.  Pilates (pi-lah-teez), exercises encompass over 500 controlled, precise  movements performed on a floor mat or special apparatus, designed to  lengthen, strengthen, and stretch muscle without adding bulk. The  Pilates Method requires concentration and coordinated breathing –  strengthening both the body and the mind.
