German born, Joseph PIlates emigrated to the United States in 1926. He set up shop in New York City, teaching his method of physical fitness, that he coined "Contrology"
Based on the principles of Breath, Concentration, Centering, Control, Precision and Flow as well as elongation, uniformity, balance and strengthening. He quickly became the guru of rehabilitation to dancers, and a fitness authority to celebrities and the general public alike.
Spheeris Pilates is proud to continue Joseph's work in primarily what is known as the original classical repertoire. Joe's method has proven to be effective, safe and viable throughout over 90 years of practise by certified and trained professionals all over the world.
