Pilates, as it is known today, is a rapidly growing exercise program practiced by more than 25 million people in most major countries around the world. It was developed by German born physical trainer Joseph Hubertus Pilates (1880-1967). In 1926 he arrived in New York with his wife Clara, and the New York City ballet community embraced his exercise regime for its obvious strength and flexibility benefits.

Pilates can help both the old and young alike, men and women, professional athletes and injured people. Joseph Pilates used to say that his exercise routine was years ahead of the rest and little did he know how prophetic that statement was. Nor, we think, did he realize how widespread it would become.
It is the hope of TriPilates that you will *TRY* Pilates and that it will also help you.
