Pilates is great for core work, flexibility, and
general mobility. The moves are TOUGH. 

It should be supplemental to your main work if you
really want to "get in shape" though--it doesn't burn
enough calories to change your calorie balance much.

Walking, Heavyhands, Running (if you're in good enough
shape), Circuit Weight Training, Shovelglove,
Intervals/Sprinting (Tabata, HIIT), will reverse your
calorie balance much faster. The point is--use Pilates
in context with your overall program, not as the
backbone.

JMO from clients who have worked with me--they noticed
a lot faster changes once they added some
cardiovascular/weight training work with their
Pilates.
