Famous Quotes by Joseph Pilates

"Physical fitness is the first requisite of happiness.

"If, at the age of 30, you are stiff and out of shape, you are old. If, at 60, you are supple and strong then you are young." - Joseph Pilates

"In ten sessions you will feel the difference; in 20 you will see the difference; and in 30 you will have a whole body." - Joseph Pilates
