Joseph Pilates developed his famous exercises using his personal experience in fitness. Joseph Pilates studied many kinds of different self-improving physical systems. He drew his system from Eastern practices such as yoga and Zen Buddhism, and was inspired by a well known ideal of a man who had exi-sted in ancient Greek. The man achieved great progress in development of his own body, mind and spirit. On his way to developing a new method he had to work hard to create so called Pilates Method which is very popular among people all over the world. Joseph Pilates studied anatomy, biology and developed his method combining different kinds of sport: body building, wrestling, skiing and diving.

After war, Joseph Pilates suddenly returned to Germany where his reputation as a physical trainer or healer was very high and his system became very popular all over the country. In Germany, he worked for Hamburg Military Police as a trainer. He was so fine in teaching self-defense and physical training. In 1925, he was asked to train soldiers of German army. But he refused to that, he could realize the difference between positive and negative significance of sports activities. Instead of this he packed his bags and took a boat to New York City. On the boat to America, Joseph met Clara, a medical nurse on the boat, who became his wife and partner. He went on his work to establish his studio in New York and Clara worked with him. They worked out their famous method of exercises, helped to invent equipment, and of course, worked hard to train a lot of students.
