His father, Heinrich Friedrich Pilates, who was born in Greece, was a metal worker and enthusiastic gymnast, and his German-born mother was a housewife. Pilates was a sickly child.

She resumed her tutelage until his death in 1968. She remained in Joe’s studio and later became the director of the original Pilates studio. Martha Graham dancer, Ron Fletcher sought Joseph Pilates’ help in rehabilitating chronic knee.His legacy has continued to live on for many years thanks to the ‘Pilates Elders’; the first generation and original students of Joseph Pilates.
