Welcome to Week 3! We will start putting all the hard work you did in the first two weeks into practice. This is a challenging class, but trust yourself and modify where necessary. Keep up the great work!

Class 237: New Year Quickie (2025)
Let’s kick off 2025 with a bang! My favorite part of this full-body class is the bridging series. What’s yours?
Class 236: Christmas Quickie (2024)
It’s time for our annual Christmas Quickie. This quickie packs a punch in a short amount of time, which is in short supply this time of year.
Class 235: Pilates and Strength 6
This Pilates and Strength class challenges the body with multiple standing weights series. For each weighted exercise, we start with two moves before combining the two for a full-body move. The mat work in the middle balances everything out and helps us better connect with the body, so you should feel solid when you complete the weighted section again at the end of the workout. This one made me sweat and increased my heart rate while filming, so enjoy!
Class 234: Balance and Control
Grab a set of light to medium hand weights, and let’s work on your balance and control. This class starts with a standing lunge and curtsy series before taking it down to the mat. As usual, the hand weights serve to both challenge and support, giving you a full-body workout in under 30 minutes.
Class 233: Unilateral Mat
Unilateral work (working one side of the body at a time) is super important. It allows us to better understand our bodies, correct imbalances, and ultimately increase our strength. Give this one a try, and let me know what you think.
Class 332: Thanksgiving Quickie (2024)
Welcome to our annual Thanksgiving Quickie. This class is slightly different, but I think you will enjoy the challenge as we alternate between static holds and dynamic movement. Enjoy!
Class 231: Pilates & Strength 5
Welcome to another Pilates and Strength class. The strength section focuses on the upper body, while the middle section focuses on the abdominals and hips. Enjoy!
Class 230: Quick Ab Burner
This is another quick class designed to work your abdominals using the small ball. Settle in, and remember that the discomfort is only temporary. Once it is over, you will be so glad you stuck with it.
Class 229: Restorative Mat
This class is going to feel so good in your body. Focus on moving with intention, range of motion, and length; you will leave your mat feeling restored and ready to tackle the rest of your day.
Class 228: Quick Leg Burner
Using the circle or “booty band,” this is a very quick lower burn class. Since this is such a short class, push your range of motion and power through the temporary discomfort—that’s where the change happens. Enjoy!
Class 227: Abs & Glutes
While this class mainly focuses on the abdominals and the glutes, you will likely walk away from your mat feeling like your entire body got work. Remember, to truly get the most out of your Pilates exercise, you likely have to engage more than just the muscle groups that are actively working. You will undoubtedly feel your abdominals in the plank work, but you better believe your shoulders and upper back are also working hard.
Class 226: Pilates & Strength 4
Welcome back to another Pilates and Strength class. You need one medium dumbbell (you could also use two lighter dumbbells, with one in each hand). This one definitely got my heart rate up, so enjoy!
Class 225: Reformer on the Mat
Welcome to a new “Reformer on the Mat” class. This class uses hand weights to mimic the resistance we get on the reformer. If the weights become too much, don’t be afraid to put them to the side and keep moving. This class’s abdominal and upper body work makes it a burner, but my favorite is the rowing series. Unsurprisingly, some of my favorite moves from the reformer are also some of my favorites in this class.
Class 224: Quickie 21
Welcome to my new home studio outside of Philadelphia. This full-body quickie gets the body moving and comfortable with the new space. I will play with the filming setup and see what works best. Please feel free to share feedback.
Class 223: PSM Play 2
Welcome back to playtime with the TRX. Movement should be fun, and this class is not only a great time but also a super burner. Let me know what series was your favorite. I love the single-leg feet in strap work myself, and it is absolutely killer.
Class 222: Pilates & Strength 3
Ready for another Pilates & Strength Class? The weight series in this class uses only one dumbbell, but it packs a punch. On the mat, expect lots of good rotation and flexion work to help increase your strength and mobility.
Class 2021: Back-to-School Quickie (2024)
It’s that time of year when school starts back up, and the time we have to devote to our workouts starts to dwindle. Or maybe you are about to get a lot more time back once your kids go back to school. Either way, the good news is that as a member, you have tons of classes under 30 minutes to keep you moving. This year’s back-to-school quickie is dedicated to all the moms, dads, teachers, and administrators.
