In the mid-1990s, Marjolein Brugman spun personal adversity (she was hit by a car while running) into QVC gold after developing the first home Pilates machine based on the reformer exercises that brought her back into alignment.

“People think being healthy is very difficult—and I think it’s simple,” Brugman, 64, says. “So we broke the new website into eat/move/feel. They’re the three areas you have to make health decisions. What do you eat? How do you stay happy? And what do you do to keep your heart and your body healthy?”
