Where did Pilates all begin?
Joseph Hubertus Pilates was born in Germany in 1883. As a child, Joe suffered many ailments including asthma so he turned to exercise and athletics to help. He studied various exercise routines and was transfixed with the idea of the classical Greek ideal of man with a balanced mind, body and spirit. Hence Pilates was born.
In 1912 Joe went to the U.K working as a defense instructor at Scotland Yard but at the outbreak of World War I he was interned as an “enemy alien”. Rather than wallow he refined his ideas by training other internees by rigging springs to hospital beds to enable patients to exercise against resistance. These contraptions were the innovation behind later equipment designs.
In 1926 Joe headed to America meeting his wife Clara along the way. When they arrived they opened a studio near the New York ballet. This lead to many dancers and other athletes becoming his clients. Some of those clients then went on to open their own studios throughout the U.S.
Then Hollywood came calling and where the stars go the media follows. The pilates business boomed and entered the fitness mainstream. These days

Our Byron Bay Pilates Co. PLT-200 Reformer is a high quality and affordable studio level exercise equipment, designed to facilitate body strength and tone in keeping with the principles of Pilates.
Core Strengthening, Toning and Cardio
The design of the PLT-200 Pilates Reformer creates resistance by using a pulley and spring system to promote core engagement and strength together with your heart and lungs for endurance. It provides gentle movements for your joints but allows you will reach and maintain your target heart rate as effectively as a run. It may also produce visible results sooner — arm, leg and abdominal muscles can look more firm and defined within a dozen or so regular sessions.
All Levels of Fitness and Body Types
Exercising with the Pilates Reformer is possible for anyone and everyone. The exercises you can perform on the Reformer can be done by people with all levels of fitness and body types to improve core strength, flexibility, increase muscle tone, stabilise your spine, improve posture, improve balance and coordination whilst enhancing your state of mind and vitality.
Rehabilitation of Injuries of the Spine and Joints
The Byron Bay Pilates Co. Reformer’s attachments increase the range of modifications that can be made to exercises, and allows additional stretches beyond what can be done on a mat. This capability, combined with the support afforded by the resistance of the machine, allows people with limited range of movement or injuries to safely do modified exercises to increase strength and prevent further injury.
