ISLE OF MAN
People may be unaware that Pilates' origins are closely linked to Knockaloe and the Isle of Man. Knockaloe holds a prominent place in the Island’s history, and was home to the world’s largest civilian internment camp during WWI, bringing together extraordinary men with diverse skills, creativity, and resilience through their detention.
Among these men was Joseph Pilates, who began developing his physical training system rooted in physical and mental wellness, which eventually became known as Pilates and is now practised by millions worldwide.
THE ATTEMPT
This attempt to break the current world record of 3,486 participants will be led by top instructors from around the world, offering an enjoyable, inclusive, wellness-focused experience for beginners and experts of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities to come together in unity and movement.
