Joseph Pilates was born near Düsseldorf, Germany, in 1883. He was a sickly child, suffering from asthma, rickets, and rheumatic fever. His drive and determination to overcome these ailments led him to study the flow of movement from stray cats, dogs, and children. He did all kinds of trainings in order under the influence of his father, gymnastics, yoga, martial arts, skiing, diving, boxing, and bodybuilding. ​ In 1912, Joseph Pilates traveled to England. When World War I broke out, he and other German nationals were interned in a camp on the Isle of Man. While there, he taught and practiced his physical fitness program- It was in the camp, he began devising apparatus to aid in the rehabilitation of the disabled and sick. During the War, food was rationed, so good nutrition was incredibly sparse for the time. Consequently, many people were severely malnourished, and the risk of infection and disease was heightened. The influenza pandemic of 1918-1920, dubbed Spanish flu, claimed three times as many lives as the War itself. Most internment camps were harshly affected by the Spanish flu outbreak, and many of the internees died. However, it is widely reported that Pilates taught his Contrology exercises to over 8,000 internees during his incarceration. Quite remarkably, not a single one of them died from influenza. ​ After the War, Joseph Pilates returned to Germany, where the German government invited him to train the new German Army. Recognizing the implications of this, he decided to leave for America. (By certain accounts, he was invited to the United States by the manager of Max Schmelling, a World Title holding boxer). On the way over to the United States, Joseph met Clara, who soon became his wife. ​ In 1926 Joseph and Clara Pilates set up the first Pilates studio in New York City. A varied and diverse population frequented the Studio, including the elite of New York society, circus performers, gymnasts, and dancers- It was mainly the dance community and luminaries such as George Balanchine, Ted Shawn, Martha Graham, and many other lesser-known dancers who indeed recognized the value of this work and Joseph Pilates' inherent and deep understanding of the workings of the human body. ​ In 1945, Pilates published his most notable book, Return to Life Through Contrology. In this book, Pilates presented his principles for creating a healthy mind and body and documented the 34 Contrology exercises that embody the classical method of Pilates as it is known today. This, alongside other notable work, like Pilates by Rael Isacowitz and Pilates Anatomy by Rael Isacowitz and Karen Clippinger. Pilates continued to work in his New York studio teaching and developing his Contrology exercises until he died in 1967 at 83. After that, his wife Clara kept the legacy of Joseph Pilates alive by continuing with his teaching until she died in 1977, aged 95.
