If you say so. To me that sentence makes no sense.
It's not a construction that I would use often, but it definitely makes sense to me. Kind of a synonym for "these days."
Apparently not though, because apparently:
Yeah, that's how I would interpret the phrase "I do pilates these days." It's like you're catching up with an old friend and telling them a new piece of information since you were last in touch.
If an old friend said to me "I do pilates anymore" I'd say "excuse me?" I'd assume I hadn't heard them correctly.
It would be as if someone said "I get". It's an incomplete sentence. Or, if someone said "You should speed down here." Do they mean increase or lower your speed? That combination isn't used in normal English. With an emphasis on speed it would probably mean "you should go quickly down here", like maybe down this street. But with the emphasis on down it's confusing.
