All the Pilates you need to get started
If you have been interested in trying Pilate but haven't been able to decide on one DVD, consider this box set. Each of the 3 DVDs is completely different and all are good. One is for people who have little flexibility. It will get you up to the point of being able to take advantage of what Pilates has to offer. The weight loss DVD is really for anyone and so is the sculpt & tone. Both of these have a lot of workouts to choose from both different lengths and degrees of difficulty. There is something on each DVD that you can do and benefit from no matter what your fitness level, flexibility or experience with Pilates.

Someone suggested this to me, after seeing my myriad of "beginning yoga" and "Intro to Pilates" DVD collections. Instead of buying and storing other DVDs, try this one first (even if you try it only as a warm up routine) and you'll save...
Great Collection of DVDs
This 3 DVD set covers pilates from many levels.
The first DVD is Pilates For Inflexible People, and if you are a beginner or need more help starting with pilates, this is broken down to make the moves easier then adds some more.
The Pilates For Weight Loss has three levels of pilates. The beginning level also is modified to help those that need it and then increases through the levels.
The last, Pilates Sculpt and Tone is good when you start getting the hang of pilates down and provides a good workout.
I have been using the Inflexible People one to get started and mixing it in with the weight loss beginning section for the most part, though I have tried the sculpt and tone for fun. Looking forward to progressing more and getting into shape so that the higher levels of the weight loss (there are 3 levels) and the sculpt and tone are the ones I can do more, though I can see myself going back to the easier material from time-to-time for...
