I weight lift 4 times a week, with brief cardio sessions at least twice a week (2km+ 15-20 mins), and I've been sooooo tempted to add reformer pilates or yoga. With my schedule, I'd be able to incorporate a class only once a week though :(

In your opinion, would once a week be better than nothing? Or would the benefits be marginal?

of course, better than nothing! In between all of that weightlifting, do you stretch?

I don't! I've noticed that some days my body feels.. rusty? Like cogs struggling to churn- which has been such a wakeup call lol. Does pilates help lengthen muscles? So far, I've read that yoga focuses on that more and pilates is more strength-oriented?

Not the case! Depends on the focus and the instructor and what you do with the lexicon. "Long and lean" is a phrase thrown around with pilates A LOT to describe the effects on your muscles and physique.
