In 1912 Joseph Pilates was living in England and working as a boxer, circus performer, and self-defense instructor. When WWI broke out he was interned with other German nationals living in England. During this time he served as an orderly on the Isle of Man where he began modifying hospital beds so that those who were recovering from illness or injury could exercise.
Joseph Pilates designed all of the classical equipment that we still use today.
