Joseph Hubertus Pilates, the founder of ‘Contrology’, is not as well known as his method, which is now named after him. Eva Rincke has written a biography about “Joe” that is well worth reading:

“Der Mann, dessen Name Programm wurde”

Joseph Pilates age 57 • New York 1941 • New York Public Library Archive; Jocob’s Pillow Archive • author: orphaned work

And in the Living Museum Online (LeMO) of the House of German History, you can find this detailed summary of his life:
