What is Pilates? it is done on a machine like the one on the picture:

Here is a little history :
Born in 1880 in Germany, Joseph Pilates was a sickly child and was left with a weak chest. He overcame his fragility and became an accomplished athlete practicing ski, diving, yoga, boxing and gymnastics. Drawing from his experience, he devised exercise aids by attaching bed springs in various positions over a bed so that injured hospital patients could exercise safely. That was the original machine that has evolved into today's Reformer (also known as Cadillac). In 1923 he emigrates to New York and opens an exercise studio where professional dancers go to train or to recover from injuries. He invents exercises and designs machines with the aim to correct bad posture and develop harmonious bodies, they became better known as the Pilates method.
