There are a few types of this popular workout. Pilates originally used special machines that are still available in a Pilates studio or some gyms. It is a one to one technique (one trainer, one client) which makes it quite expensive.
The other alternative is mat Pilates or stand up Pilates without the machines. These classes can be found in studios or gyms. There
are also videos. Needless to say, this is a lot cheaper and probably it gives you most of the benefits of the original form. This is not an aerobic workout. If you want to lose weight, you need to do it in addition to something else more targeted for losing weight.
