You’ve probably heard us talk about the upcoming 21 Day Empower Your Body Challenge, or maybe you’ve seen it in our newsletter or on our blog.  Today we just want to clear up exactly what it is, who it is for, and answer some of the common questions we are hearing!

The Empower Your Body 21 Day Challenge is a program designed to challenge you to add more movement and health to your life!  The online portion of the challenge  will be delivered to you by email over each of the 21 days.  Every day you will receive an email with a healthy action step, Pilates and movement tips, healthy eating ideas and more.

Who is the Empower Your Body Challenge for?

This program can be used by Rivercity Pilates clients who want to create( or get back into the habit) of regular sessions at the studio or it can be used by anyone who wants to workout at home or at another studio.  We’ll be offering lots of great video instruction, even if you can’t make it into the studio.  We’ll be giving away prizes for things like the most sessions taken at the studio, most at home workouts, meeting your goals, and some fun prizes for things like completing your daily action step and participating in the private Facebook page discussions.

When is the Challenge?

The Empower Your Body 21 Day Challenge will run from September 8th to September 28th.

What Empower Your Body Challenge Package should I sign up for?

We have created 3 different options for joining the Challenge, depending on how you would like to participate.

If you are planning on getting 3 or more classes(or using more than 4 class credits) per week during the challenge, we would suggest signing up for the Unlimited Classes Package($199)– this will be your best deal.  With this package you will get our daily email, be eligible for all prizes, get an Empower Your Body Challenge T-Shirt, be part of our private Facebook page and be able to attend as many classes as you want at Rivercity Pilates during the challenge.

Our Ultimate Package is designed to create ultimate results!   You’ll get three weekly individualized, private sessions as well as unlimited classes.  You’ll also receive our daily email, be eligible for prizes, get an Empower Your Body T-Shirt and be part of our private Facebook page.

One of our most common options is simply to purchase the Challenge Registration($39) and then purchase classes and sessions along the way or use your current packages.   With this option you will still get the Empower Your Body Challenge T-Shirt, be eligible for all the prizes, get our daily emails, and be part of our private Facebook page.  This option is ideal for clients who are trying to increase their sessions, but probably won’t use more than 4 class credits per week.  If you think you’ll be using more than 4 class credits per week than we would suggest the unlimited class option.

Working out at home only?  Then the registration only option is definitely for you!

 Do I have to do a class every day?

Definitely not.  The goal of the challenge is to increase your Pilates and yoga sessions to increase the effectiveness of your movement practice.  Part of the challenge will include sitting down and evaluating where you currently are in your fitness program and then choosing goals that are appropriate for your body.  The idea is to gradually increase your workouts, but keep them manageable so you can continue on after the 21 Day Challenge is over.   We will be encouraging you to do something everyday though. By something, we are talking about the little things.   Your daily action steps will be small tasks like practicing your breathing, stretching your hamstrings, or maybe just doing your Hundreds!

When do I need to sign up by?

Registration will end on September 1, unless it fills before that.  Space in classes is limited and we only have a certain amount of appointment availability for private sessions.  If we meet our maximum we will close registration to ensure that everyone is able to get their sessions in during the Challenge.
