Google is Meta’s #1 enemy. Who will win between the two?
If you gym consistently and think you're strong go do a pilates class and I guarantee you will be humbled. That is one of the hardest workouts you can possibly do. I was working out muscles I never even thought could be worked out and the very next day I could barely move. What do you think, is Pilates harder than weightlifting?

If you do pilates consistently and think you're strong go try to squat 500lbs and I guarantee you'll be humbled It's almost like you're good at what you train
What is Pilates for ? Is it to gain muscle ?
To meet new wives
It’s like yoga if you remove the spiritual part from it and leave only workout part
Any new exercise which you haven’t done before and where your previous experience doesn’t carry over at large would appear difficult at first. I tend to evaluate exercise based on ROI of time to achieve my goal not how hard or easy or cool it is.
Pilates will f you up and you won’t even think the workout was hard while you’re doing it. Then your abs hurt for days. It’s my least favorite workout.
Yes it is, but so worth it. With Pilates you’re actually building your core strength, flexibility and you’re more toned(based on my experience). Definitely feel it throughout your body and muscles. I only join classes when I want to use the machine they have but at home I incorporate dumbbells, bands, and ankle weights.
What benefits does pilates have over a program with loaded active mobility and core training specific to your actual goals e.g. compression and middle splits if you want to be a handbalancer
Generally you use a single machine, so it's a bit simpler and takes up a bit less space. It's 1:1 training so you're more likely to have an educated trainer vs. mobility work and core training (which more people are likely to tackle solo). As you said it really depends on the goals.
No its not ive done both before. Try kyokushin or muay thai and report back your opinion.
It’s not hard, you just not used to it. I regularly ran 6 miles in 40 minutes and consider I am pretty fit. But I still need to catch my breath after climbing 10 flights of stairs
Any workout you haven't done is most likely hard. New workouts hit specific muscle groups you have never touched before. I think for gym goers, since lifting only targets specific muscles, it is actually fairly difficult to be very well-rounded and have athletic flexibility. If you are looking to get fit and have no experience, gym or otherwise. I honestly would recommend some kind of class like this. It's more fun, and you can push yourself more than you would on your own.
