Women exercising at Pam Lewis’s Physical Culture Studio in Melbourne, Australia, 1956.

Pam Lewis’s Physical Culture School was one of Australia’s first gyms to cater resistance training to busy women. Understanding of the restrictions of those with motherhood duties, Pam Lewis even encouraged members with children to take them along to sessions and join in! Despite the seemingly limited space, the small-scale gym seemed to have a nice range of equipment, like dumbbells, barbells, pulley setups and gymnastic rings.

Notably, Pam Lewis’s partner was Mark Lewis, a former Australian Heavyweight Olympic Lifting Champion. Photos taken by photographer Gordon De Lisle, for Pix Magazine, now archived by Mitchell Library, State Library of New South Wales.

Inside the Original Pilates Studio:
A demonstration with the Pilates Headdress

In 1953 Joseph Pilates used his camera to capture a rare moment inside his studio- his student, Anna Woolley Shaffer using the Headdress around the studio and on the reformer.

In an interview, Ms. Shaffer stated that she was waiting for her session to begin and decided to pick up the Headdress and play around with it. Joe thought it was really great and he said he wanted to film it. He then took out his 8mm camera and to film this beautiful documentation of the studio and the creative ways the Headdress could be used.

We can see her dancing, balancing, and most incredibly, using the Headdress while doing splits in two directions on the reformer.

During the interview she says that it was her idea to have Clara come in at the end of the film, which is a really nice touch.

He later sent her a copy of the film, which is what we are watching here today.

Did you know? The only reason why we call the apparatus the “Headdress” is because the name appeared in a caption under a photo in Life Magazine of Joe Pilates teaching with it at Jacob’s Pillow. We don’t actually know if that’s what Joe called it!
