Why do all female celebrities seem to love pilates?

[YeoChin Fairies]

From Hollywood stars to Korean idols and actresses everyone seems into pilates in the past few years?? Does it change your body super fast or something?

Trend.

It's good excerise to lose weight & to get firm abs. It's relaxing too.

Low impact, which will not give them any injuries as long as they listen to their (hopefully competent trainers), focuses on core strenght, which is benefitial for idols, great for toning and maintaining weight (not so great for losing it though), while also meeting in the middle for weight training (using your own weight) and cardio (you have to move a lot). It's a pretty balanced form of exercise.

A "normal" person should ideally be doing more than just pilates, but celebs, including idols already go through an exercise regime with all the practicing and moving around they do. I assume actors have a regime of their own, with personal trainers and stuff, so a few hours a week in the machine only helps them maintain their physique.

A lot of people find the repetitiveness calming as well.

Pilates shares a lot of similarities to yoga. Much of it is about longevity and maintaining mobility and core strength. For someone who is a dancer, engages in very active roles that impact the body, it is a good way to engage in what's called "active recovery". Loaded stretching, where you stretched with a weight or resistance, has shown to be very beneficial overall.

relaxing + good work out

It's pretty well rounded excercise.. average person can do it better than most other typical exercise ,also for more athletic person can add resistance to make it beneficial for them too. I mean like good for fit ppl in that way,but I feel like other beginner exercise fit ppl will add resistance too,is not really appealing to beginner,especially those who want to exercise but aren't immediately jumping into the typical thought of,heavy excercise. It's low impact but effective

 I go twice a week and obviously difficulty can be adjusted by adding and taking away resistance but it is really good for people of all ages and abilities, and i feel like i get fit super quickly.

I don't find this true at all. It depends on what you do in pilates and how often you do it.
