Pilates, a program that soothes the muscles of the whole body and improves torso control, can be traced back to the concentration camps of the 1914 war.

When war broke out in Europe in 1914, Joseph Pilates, who was living in England at the time, was placed in a concentration camp because he was of German descent.
