Thanks to You, The Challenge is On!

If you’d asked me earlier this year if we’d ever offer another Pilates Challenge, I'd have told you it was highly doubtful.

If you’re not familiar with it, the Pilates Challenge is a super-focused, 6-week program of Pilates, stretching and cardio training that we last offered almost two years ago.

I poured so much of myself into that program, making sure everyone had an amazing and even life-changing experience, that I actually hit a wall and had to cancel the last Challenge before it even started.

But that burn-out experience taught me a lot!

And, ever since, I’ve been learning more and better ways to add maximum value within the studio while maintaining my own unique form of balance that includes self-care. 

There have been so many moments this year when I've had ideas, or seen something that made me exclaim, “This would be perfect and so amazing for the Challenge!”

All of us at Pilates Tonic are wildly proud of, and inspired by you every day and, as instructors, we love it when we can find and create even better ways to help you reach your goals.

We have all learned so much since the last Challenge and can't wait to share all the new exercise and mind-body optimization techniques and ideas with you.

It's clear that the time is right to create a brand new Challenge to get 2015 off to a brilliant start.

I’m over-the-moon excited to announce that we are preparing the most amazing and value-packed Tonic Challenge to date.

We're still working out the details, but I wanted to give you a heads up and a general rundown of the Tonic Challenge and answer any questions you may have, especially if you are new to the Challenge.

In a nutshell, the Tonic Challenge is a 6-week program where you commit to 3-4 classes/sessions per week and 10,000 steps per day.

This program provides a container to help you get on the path to creating great new habits and attaining your goals.

It's a program designed not only to feed you physically, but to nourish you mentally.

During the six-week Tonic Challenge, we'll help you set and track realistic goals and, together, we'll create a community of support to help you attain them and break through to a new version of you.

I’ve been amazed by the power of the group setting and its ability to foster a compelling sense of personal accountability during past Challenges. It really does make a critical difference.

If this is sounding good to you so far, mark your calendars for January 12th – February 22nd and let's plan to work together to take your movement practice to the next level.

Keep an eye out for more details in a future email coming soon to an inbox near you!

See you in the studio!
