The Pilates Effect: Heroes Behind the Revolution by Sarah Holmes, Kevin Bowen, Stacey Redfield

langanle's review against another edition

4.0

This is a wonderfully short look into the origins and lives of those directly involved in the birth of Pilates. The book is written as short biographies of many of the influencers who helped to create and then shape the Pilates lifestyle from its creator Joseph Pilates through the 1990s shift to Pilates being a generic term for the exercise routine rather than being owned by a specific person.

Overall this was a great look at the inner workings of the Pilates industry.
