With all its pulleys, springs, belts and bands, one might mistake the Pilates machine for a medieval torture device. Jeff Smith – owner of Pilates in Germantown on Greene Street – assures me it's nothing of the sort.
The machine was invented by Joseph Pilates, a German-born gymnast, boxer and bodybuilder, who developed a system of mind-body exercises designed to strengthen muscles as well as promote joint health and flexibility.
"[Pilates] opened a studio for injury rehabilitation. He invented this equipment called a Reformer and he worked with dancers and athletes that had joint problems, ligament problems, muscle problems to try to get them back in shape," Smith recently explained.
At 65 years old, Smith isn't intimidated by the Reformer, not in the least. The Germantown native easily demonstrates several basic exercises on the machine, which functions on the principle of resistance, which is provided by coiled springs of various tensions located beneath the Reformer's carriage.
