Joseph Pilates was German-born in 1880. During his childhood he suffered a number of debilitating diseases including asthma, rickets, and rheumatic fever. These conditions led to his quest for health. Then, he began rehabilitating wounded soldiers in the first World War. Joseph Pilates devised an exercise program he would later call "The Art of Contrology." In 1960 he opened up his own Pilates studio in New York.
