Gymnastics is MUCH harder than Pilates. Pilates was developed by Joseph Pilates while he was in a war camp, it was meant to be able to be done in a 5x5 space. It is a great form of exercise, but doesn't compare to whats required to be a successful gymnast.

They're two completely different things, you can't say one is better than the other. It just depends on what you want to do. If you want to flip and such, then you do gymnastics. If you want to stretch and tone your body, then you do pilates.

Basically, pilates is conditioning for a sport, gymnastics is a sport.
