Welcome to October on Align, my loves.

After the amazing response to September, we’re officially keeping two challenge paths inside the app, a Pilates Challenge and a Strength Challenge, so you can choose the way you want to train based on your goals, your energy and what feels best for your body.

THE PILATES CHALLENGE

Choose this path if you want Pilates to be the foundation of your routine. You’ll have more Mat classes each week, balanced with Sculpt and Strength, with a focus on lighter resistance, controlled movement, time under tension and that long, strong, connected feeling we love.

THE STRENGTH CHALLENGE

Choose this path if you’re ready to lift a little heavier and want more progressive strength work built into your week. You’ll still get plenty of Pilates, Sculpt and Mat work, but with more opportunities to increase resistance, challenge yourself and build strength over time.

OR... DO A LITTLE OF BOTH.

You do not have to choose one or the other. Follow one calendar completely, move between the two depending on the week, or simply choose the workouts that feel best for you.

That’s actually closest to how I personally train. Some weeks I want to lift heavier and push myself, and other weeks I’m craving more Pilates and mindfulness. It can change with your cycle, your energy and everything else going on in life.

We’ve programmed five workouts each week to give you options, not pressure. You do not need to complete every single class. If you miss one, just move on to the next workout and keep going. Consistency over time matters so much more than having a “perfect” week.

I’m so excited for this next chapter of Align and to give you even more ways to make the method work for your body, your goals and your life.

And we have some very exciting things coming throughout October... more on that soon.

Love,
Bailey xx
