You’ve read our review, now meet the man who knew Joe! Benjamin Degenhardt, CEO at 360° Pilates, interviewed with John Howard Steel, author of Caged Lion: Joseph Pilates and His Legacy, hosted by Balanced Body, Inc.
John Steel is one of few people who knew Joseph Pilates in and out of his studio. Serving as attorney and confidant to Joe and Clara, John has a unique perspective on who they were as teachers and people. His book recounts the years he spent with the couple and Joe’s difficult path to legitimizing his Contrology exercise method. Something that seems hard-to-believe given the popularity of Pilates today.
