Joseph Q.
Instructor
Joseph has been teaching Pilates for 20 years. He was the core strength and flexibility trainer for Cal Football for 7 seasons, leading to work with the NFL, NBA, and Olympics athletes. Joseph owned Real People Pilates in Berkeley, CA for 13 years. He then sold his studio to develop Pilates Metrics, a software platform to track, chart, and share Pilates outcomes related to musculoskeletal and neuromuscular issues. He received two software utility patents from the USPTO. Joseph's venture was recognized and supported by Pfizer Healthcare and Google. Joseph sold the platform to PEAR Health Labs in Solana Beach and is now VP of Product Development as he works on health and wellness projects for United Healthcare and the US Department of Defense. A teacher at heart, Joseph still carves out hours to be in the studio, working with the people, not computers. He learned to teach Pilates from Carol Appel in San Francisco, who studied under Romana Kryzanowkski in New York City, who was the protege of Joseph Pilates I, himself. Joseph lives with his wife and 3 children in San Clemente.
