Pilates methodology was developed by Joseph Pilates in the early 1900s. He created this exercise system to focus on the body's alignment, incorporate breathing in the movement, and emphasize the core to be the powerhouse of how your body moves.

It mainly consists of floor exercises done on the mat, but you can also do the session on the Pilates Reformer, which is a very popular Pilates equipment.

Calisthenics training is a system of exercise that mainly utilize the body as the resistance. It has a lot of influence from gymnastics strength training. Though this method was already practised for 100s of years, it has become very popular in the last 10 years.

Also known as Bodyweight Strength Training, it has a very effective method of building muscles, getting really strong, and building some impressive display of skills, especially once you go more advance with the training.

Both Calisthenics and Pilates methodology shares a lot in common as they both utilize the body as main resistance for the workout.

The main difference is that Pilates is a milder version of Calisthenics focused more on the refinement of the movement. Whereas Calisthenics is focused more on high volume to build the body's capacity to handle a more intense workout as you progress.
