Pilates Metodu veya Pilates yirminci yüzyılın başlarında Joseph Hubert Pilates (1880-1967) tarafından geliştirilmiş fiziksel fitness sistemi.

Joseph Pilates Pilates metodu üzerine en az iki kitap yazdı: Return to Life through Contrology ve Your Health: A Corrective System of Exercising That Revolutionizes the Entire Field of Physical Education.

Pilates metodunun zihnin kaslar üzerindeki kullanımını desteklediği için Contrology (Kontrol bilimi) olarak adlandı. Pilates, bedenin dengeli tutulmasına yardımcı olan ve omurgayı desteklemekte önemli işlevi olan temel kaslar üzerine yoğunlaşılan bir egzersiz programıdır. Nefes egzersizi teknikleri de yer almaktadır.

The original Pilates repertoire was 34 exercises done on the floor on a padded mat (matwork)[9], but Joseph Pilates later invented several pieces of apparatus, each with its own repertoire of exercises. Most of the repertoire done on the various pieces of Pilates apparatus is resistance training since it makes use of springs to provide additional resistance. Using springs results in “progressive resistance”, meaning the resistance increases as the spring is stretched.

The most common piece of apparatus is the Reformer, but other apparatus you will find in a modern Pilates studio includes the Cadillac (also called the Trapeze Table), the Wunda Chair, and the Ladder Barrel. Lesser used apparatus includes the Spine Corrector (Step Barrel), the Guillotine Tower, the Arm Chair, the Ped-a-Pul (Pedi-Pole), and the Foot Corrector.

There are also many props used in Pilates including the Magic Circle, invented by Joseph Pilates, small weighted balls, foam rollers, large exercise balls, rotating disks, and resistance bands. However, some in the Pilates community, particularly the Pilates Method Alliance, maintains that exercises done on any piece of apparatus not designed by Joseph Pilates, such as large or small exercise balls, should not be called Pilates. [10]

Whether using the additional resistance of springs on Pilates apparatus, or the constant resistance of gravity in mat work, the Pilates repertoire builds strength, develops proper alignment and posture, and increases flexibility.
