Thank you for posting this clip. It is truly amazing to see The Pilates in motion. Am not sure what year this clip is from, but Joseph Pilates published a couple of books aroud the mid 1940′s…. Maybe this clip was from this period? Perhaps later… Isn’t he amazing! He was soooo ahead of his time in terms of fitness, rehab, and designing exercise equipment. Brilliant.
According to his obituary Joe Pilates died of emphysema from a lifetime of smoking cigars (he did inhale some smoke when there was a fire in his building, but come on!). And those are springs, nor stretch cords.
The story seems to vary from person to person but the most common one i have heard was that he died of smoke inhalation from a fire in the building where his studio was. How true this is I cannot say.
