A note from creator Charles Blount
As an exercise physiologist and long time personal trainer, the practice of Pilates has long been in my peripheral vision. Like many trainers, the method intrigued me.
Created by Joseph Pilates over ninety years ago to aid in rehabilitation of patients, Pilates builds muscle, and improves posture, flexibility, and balance through a series of stretching and strengthening exercises. Joseph Pilates was one of the first Westerners to write about mind-body exercise. In contrast to traditional training, Pilates does not isolate each muscle in training but rather works the entire body as a whole.
When I first began training in Los Angeles over a decade ago, Pilates seemed to be more of a boutique form of fitness reserved for the wealthy but the practice soon began to spring up everywhere. In a 2005 survey done by Club Industry, the Pilates practice in clubs had grown five hundred percent in the last decade.For the last several years, magazines have been filled with celebrities with enviable bodies extorting the virtues of the practice which only peaked the public's interest more. This meant for the average personal trainer such as myself finding a way to harness this explosion of interest was difficult.Traditional Pilates equipment is not only expensive but space consuming making home use or group classes beyond simple mat exercises impractical for those limited by space and funds.
