Physical fitness can neither be acquired by wishful thinking nor by outright purchase.

The Pilates Method of Body Conditioning is gaining the mastery of your mind over the complete control of your body.

Physical fitness is the first requisite of happiness. In order to achieve happiness, it is imperative to gain mastery of your body. If at the age of 30 you are stiff and out of shape, you are old. If at 60 you are supple and strong then you are young.

Man should bear in mind and ponder over the Greek admonition - Not Too Much, Not Too Little.

Good posture can be successfully acquired only when the entire mechanism of the body is under perfect control.

Contrology (Pilates) is complete coordination of body, mind, and spirit. Through Contrology you first purposefully acquire complete control of your own body and then through proper repetition of its exercises you gradually and progressively acquire that natural rhythm and coordination associated with all your subconscious activities.

With body, mind, and spirit functioning perfectly as a coordinated whole, what else could reasonably be expected other than an active, alert, disciplined person?
