Who developed the physical fitness system known as 'Pilates'?

I still don't know exactly what pilates involves.

toothless beachrat, thanks for the info, it is useful to me.

I've been in the fitness industry since 1988 doing repairs. In 2014 I took a job as a manager of a Pilates & spin bike company, which is where I really got to know all about Pilates. It is an excellent way to stay fit for those who aren't interested in lifting weights. I recommend it for people who have interest in staying fit.

LauraGail, perhaps Google it.

LauraGail, a LOT of muscle control.

i thoght it was a trick question because his last name was PILATES

It's in the NAME

I go twice a week to Pilates class at my gym. It is wonderful for strengthening your core and your spine. It help with having good posture.

If it is effektive would depend on what ailment a Person has. I found Yoga to be very helpfull! I would recommend Everyone to at least try it.

Pilates- (Joseph) Pilates. I mean, it's kinda of obvious
