Today’s episode is filled with historical information surrounding
the years Joe Pilates was interned on the Isle of Man. Our guest,
Jonathan Grubb who lives on the Isle of Man, discovered the
teachings of Joseph Pilates in 2013 and soon after, learned that
his great-grandfather was interned on the Isle of Man at the very
same time as Joseph Pilates and in the same sub camp inside Camp
Knockaloe. Though there is no proof,  it’s believed that his
great grandfather was actually one of those internees that Joe
instructed.

This is a fascinating interview with someone who has spent the
last seven years researching not only the connection between his
great-grandfather and Joe Pilates, but on how other fitness
pioneers of the early 1900’s influenced Joe and his exercise
method.
