Burlates - The Naughty Pilates

11:25 AM | by Steve Johnson | 5 Comments

Burlates"Burlates" is perhaps the newest spin on the old sexy-workout video theme. It's marketed as a burlesque version of Pilates, geared towards out-of-shape women with Attention Deficit Disorder.

Photos of the video seem to depict a somewhat "G-rated" production, more comical than anything. The producer of Burlates, Christine Gladney, is however a serious Pilates instructor, having worked with Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and Steven Tyler of Aerosmith.

She's also created a Punk Rock version of Pilates; the video not yet available.

Not having ever delved into world of Pilates, I can't comment about its usefulness, it might have worked as a novelty video for guys, if not for its moderation.

Burlates costs $19.99 on its website.

funniest workout video you'll ever see! it's like a movie, with an awsome sountrack and so many different scenes. the girl who did the video is a real Pilates instructor who has trained some famous people. Very creative and unique.

This workout DVD is so much fun! Despite images the title might conjure up, there is nothing lewd about the content. These ladies are fun girls that you could imagine getting a drink with or going out with to see a band... a refreshing departure from the unrealistic spokesmodel athletes executing each exercise to pristine perfection, clad in sporty sports attire. Anyone who appreciates good music, gritty aesthetics & bad humor will love this DVD for both the fitness & the fun! I know what my girlfriends are getting for Christmas this year! ;)

This is just awful. Laughable, but not in a good way. Cringe-worthy. Ugly broads doing some retro-burlesques stuff. Boring. 1995 called. They want thier revival back.

Don't waste your money!!

fun stuff. tho its only good if you have some pilate experience as there is no counting along and the instructor wears black on a black floor. but visuals like stretching for a martini or shooting with yer cowgirl gun are too fun to induce any boredom.
