What Are the Benefits of a Pilates Reformer?
Joseph Pilates developed his signature method of exercise in Germany in the early 20th century. He was living in England during the outbreak of World War I, and was placed in an internment camp because of his German citizenship. It was here that Pilates created the groundwork for his first exercise machine. Pilates rigged the hospital bed springs to create a resistance a machine, which provided physical therapy exercises for his fellow internees. The Pilates reformer, which works on a spring and pulley system, was inspired by this makeshift creation.
