WHAT IS PILATES? (a powerful concept in fitness)
PILATES low impact body maintenance program been around since WWI. Joseph H. PILATES's unique physical conditioning method has turned into a world wide sensation with his fully comprehensive exercise system and innovative equipment.
In November 2001, Iso Fit became the first Gyrotonic® center in Asia to have the Gyrotonic® Jumping Board available for client training with its unique sliding platform design which works in conjunction with parallel bars enables the exerciser to strengthen and tone the core trunk muscle and extremity and develops a sense of balance and co-ordination.
Juliu continues to run workshops around the world and his work is being recognized as truly unique and innovative.
Soon after defecting to the US in the late 1960's, Juliu gave up dancing in order to pursue the study of yoga. He soon realized that he could successfully combine the benefits of all these disciplines - swimming, gymnastics, yoga and dance - into one exercise system in which all the major muscle groups work interdependently and in an integrated manner. Together with this concept he created his first exercise machine, a truly innovative and unique piece of work-the Pulley Tower Combination Unit.
Juliu dreamed of a machine that would help a dancer achieve a better turn or pirouette. This dream and Juliu's creative energy lead him to the development of Gyrotonic Expansion System®, as we know it today. Now people of all ages and all walks of life have benefited from his system.
Over the years he has added several other machines to his range, all equally innovative and effective in maximizing the benefits of the exercises performed on them.
The GYROTONER®, the only one in Asia, is a remarkable piece of equipment that looks like a Harley Davidson. A brand new addition to the range of Gyrotonic® equipment available to clients at Iso Fit.

The GXS or Gyrotonic® method
var1=28;During the First World War, as he was a German citizen, Joseph was interned in England and during that period he worked as a nurse. While tending immobilized patients, he designed exercise apparatus using springs attached to hospital beds. These machines and the exercises that he developed for them were to become the nucleus of his body conditioning method. After the war he moved to New York and opened his first "Contrology" studio there in 1926.
