Joe Pilates and the Wunda Chair: On the roof of 939 8th Ave, NYC I’ve always wondered if this archival pilates film footage really took place on the actual rooftop of 939 8th Ave, where the original pilates studio was located. It turns out- it was! Through my research I noticed that there was a building in the background of the film with the word, “Brighton” on it. Through additional study I found evidence that this building was in fact near enough to the 939 8th ave that it was visible from the rooftop! Incredible! At the end of this clip, I included a photo from 1940 of the Brighton building, as well as the apartment building that’s also visible in the footage. I also included a street view of this same area today, and we can see that the Brighton building no longer stands but the apartment building does. Of course, 939 8th Ave also still stands (for now). Reels and reels of vintage film like this were given to Mary Bowen in a box of old film footage at the opening of her studio, Your Own Gym, in 1981 in Northampton, MA. This clip comes from that footage. Its so wonderful to be able to share our collective history and to refer to the past through images like this. Although this footage has been widely seen and shared, looking at it again and digging deeper in these ways is always a pleasure and can be so educational for our community as a whole. 📅 Shared at 6:49am EST 9/18/25 #pilateshistory #sharepilateshistory #pilatesarchives #josephpilates #9398thave #joepilates #contrologyhistory #archivalpilates #pilatesarchives #archivalpilateswundachair #originalpilateswundachair 24/09/2025
