Send us a text


Unless you’re a Pilates geek, you may not know the history of Joe
Pilates, especially the time period when he was  interned on
the Isle of Man during WW1.  In this episode, Jonathan
Grubb, a Pilates instructor, practitioner and Pilates historian
has lived on this Isle almost his entire life. Situated between
Northern Ireland and Great Britain, Jonathan originally began his
research into the life of Joe Pilates after discovering his own
great grandfather was interned at the same camp and same time as
Joe. Perhaps you recall Jonathan’s visit to the show last year
when he spoke about some of his Pilates discoveries and
introduced us to his history driven Facebook page. Now, Jonathan
shares new details he’s uncovered about Joe and his method.
