Who started Pilates? Joseph Hubertus Pilates began this method of conditioning over seventy years ago. It was originally called 'Contology'. In its earliest development, Pilates was used to rehabilitate injured soldiers and to strengthen ballerinas. While this method has expanded in its audience, the original exercises and body movements remain true to his original principles of body sculpting and physical training.
