Pilates Qualifies As Strength Training
Strength training equals exercises that increase muscle strength or endurance using bodyweight or external resistance.
Pilates meets this definition because its exercises can challenge muscles through load, reps, or speed changes.

Three Ways Muscles Change
Muscles adapt when we change load, repetitions, or speed/power of movements.
Pilates increases strength by adjusting those variables like spring tension, reps, single-leg variations, or tempo.

Pilates Has Finite Resistance Limits
Pilates has practical limits on how much resistance it can provide, set by equipment and body position.
You can push those limits via reps and tempo, but some strength goals need external weights or different methods.
