Does pilates count as strength training?

I am new to all of this and have been reading some of the success stories. I already have exercises set up for cardio but as for strength training... that is a different story. I cannot afford to go to a gym to lose weights... and for that matter.. I dont really like weights. I do have some pilates videos and enjoy that much more.... so would I be able to count that as strength training?

not really, you can still bosyweight exercises that can do the same as strength training but eventually you'll need to dp wts and the sooner the better
