BODYBAR Pilates to Celebrate National Pilates Day with Far‑Out PLANKstock Festivities

In honor of National Pilates Day, BODYBAR Pilates today announced the annual return of its PLANKstock festival – a 70s‑inspired celebration – on Saturday, May 2.

Participating studios nationwide will unite for one day of movement, community, and feel-good energy. They will each host their own, unique PLANKstock celebrations, transforming studios into mini music‑festival experiences. Members can expect a variety of complimentary mat Pilates classes, complete with glitter, glow sticks, and fun lighting. Members are encouraged to dress up in their funkiest 70s‑inspired gear too.

Some studios will host pop-up events, including DIY tie-dye stations, make-your-own flower crowns and plank contests, with activities that may involve local vendors and community businesses.

“PLANKstock is one of our favorite events of the year,” said Kamille McCollum, chief brand officer, president, and co-founder of BODYBAR Pilates. “It’s such a fun way to bring our community together and celebrate the energy that makes BODYBAR special. We love creating an experience that feels welcoming, a little unexpected, and shows just how strong and empowered you can feel through Pilates.”

Whether attendees are Pilates pros or trying the workout for the first time, PLANKstock is described as a welcoming and energizing event; each class ends with a plank challenge.
