His crowning achievement, the Wunda chair transformed conventional Pilates into a fat-burning cardio workout designed to sculpt long, lean muscles. Celebrity Pilates trainer, Carroll Krieff, took Joseph Pilates' vision into the next generation with her affordable, portable, in-home total body Malibu Pilates® chair
