I am responsible for popularizing Pilates worldwide. This is not hyperbole. How did I do it?
In June 1991 I opened the Institute for the Pilates Method, the worlds first Pilates Certification organization. Within a decade, thousands of Pilates teachers trained by my institute had jobs teaching this unique exercise Method.
But - even though I'm 83 years old - I'm not satisfied.
I still own and operate the same Pilates institute - today called PhysicalMind; I still invent and market patented Pilates products that we think Joe Pilates would have created if he were here today; and I educate people via my BodyConversion podcast and my Substack on how to demystify the hyped-up fitness and diet landscape.
