Joseph Pilates (Puh – La – Teez)
​
Joseph H. Pilates developed this unique and effective series of exercises and movements over 90 years ago in order to battle rickets, asthma and a frail body. Joseph served as a nurse in World War II, and began attaching springs and pulleys to his patients’ hospital beds to aid in rehabilitation. During his lifetime, he worked with an unlimited scope of clients over many years utilizing these specialized apparatus. These were later streamlined and modified to create what we now use for the pilates method today. The Reformer, Cadillac, and Wunda Chair are among the several types of innovative equipment Joseph developed.

" I took Pilates to strengthen and tone my body and was amazed when I could see results almost instantly. When I found out I was pregnant, I was happy to continue with Pilates to further strengthen my muscles. My individual instructor, Jennifer Swarbrink – owner of Pilates Room – worked with me bi-weekly to build strength and regain flexibility which I needed to maintain a healthy pregnancy. I was able to continue Pilates until the day before my scheduled C-section! Throughout my pregnancy I was able to move freely, get off the bed and chairs independently and had no back ache or leg cramps. I attribute my speedy recovery to Pilates and mostly Jennifer, who is a great instructor and knows when you can be pushed and when to correct your positions to get the most out of each training session. My weekly workouts (post-pregnancy) have helped me get my body back!”

"I’ve been attending classes and private sessions at The Pilates Room for the past couple of years. I find all of the teachers incredibly professional and experienced. Every class or session I attend the teacher is fully engaged in the process and 100% committed to my development. The small class sizes ensure that teachers are always able to provide individual feedback while maintaining pace for the rest of the class. The intimate setting of the studio is the perfect answer for anyone who is turned off by the typical (impersonal) gym environment. The best thing about the studio is the incredible devotion and encouragement of The Pilates Room staff – they make every experience a great one."
