The Body Control Pilates ® Association was set up in 1996 with the goal of bringing the benefits of Pilates to all. Its founders, Lynne Robinson and Gordon Thomson, have been at the forefront of the boom in awareness of, and participation in, the Pilates Method. Body control Pilates ® continues to enjoy an excellent reputation with regard to the effectiveness and the quality of its teaching.
