Pilates History
Learn more about Joseph Pilates
Pilates was developed by Joseph Pilates (1880-1967). Born in Germany Joseph was a sickly child who suffered from rheumatic fever, asthma and rickets. Over the next 50 years he worked at regaining his health by developing an exercise system he called ‘Contrology’, or the study of control. The movements were geared toward emphasizing your body’s core – the abdomen, obliques, lower back, inner and outer thigh, butt, and so on.
For this reason, Pilates develops much of what exercisers need – strength, flexibility, muscular endurance, coordination, balance, and good posture – with a much lower chance of injury than with other forms of exercise. The discipline emphasizes correct form instead of many repetitions exhausting the muscles and losing form. With so many exercise variations and progressions, you will have a hard time getting bored with Pilates.

What our clients are saying

Amanda's extensive Pilates background combined with her passion for helping others has provided an optimal learning environment to complete my certification.

”Eight years ago, my doctor recommended Pilates to help with my scoliosis. When I became a client at Zoeli I felt a significant difference in my body. So much that I enrolled in the teacher training program . The training at Zoeli goes beyond the surface level of the exercise but gives you an understanding of the biomechanics of movement and its purpose. I now have the knowledge of Classical Pilates and how it transforms your body and mind.”
”During my home search I asked about Pilates studios and Zoeli Pilates was recommended. I learned that Zoeli is a USPA training center, the owner, Amanda Marley, is a Supervising Instructor for the USPA and 3rd generation teacher, and David Freeman, a Principal Director of the USPA and 2nd generation teacher, bases himself out of the Zoeli studio. All of this had great appeal - an opportunity to learn from experience like this doesn't come around every day. I spoke with each of them and with an apprentice of the program and their encouragement and enthusiasm were contagious, both for the training program and for Classical Pilates as a whole. After further thought and research into my other options I couldn't shake what felt right - to join the USPA and dive into the world of Classical Pilates. It was the best decision I've made, both personally and professionally.”
