TL;DR
Club Pilates is hosting Decades Week from September 21 through September 26, where participating studios will celebrate different decades each day. The event aims to bring people together across generations and promote inclusivity, with activities such as themed music, raffles, and in-studio pop-ups.
From September 21 through September 26, participating Club Pilates studios across the country will invite members, instructors, and Pilates enthusiasts to celebrate the decade that speaks to them most. Building on the legacy of 80s Week, Decades Week welcomes everybody to join in, however they want to show up.
"We are thrilled to introduce Decades Week to our studios," says Club Pilates President, Tianna Strateman. "“By expanding to Decades Week, we aren't just adding a nostalgic twist to our classes; we are reinforcing our core belief that Club Pilates is truly for everyBODY. It is inspiring to see our local studios take this vibrant, inclusive energy and extend it outward to unite their communities. No matter which decade moves you most, our mission remains the same: Do Pilates Do Life!"
Each day of the week brings a new decade to life, giving members a fresh reason to show up, dress up, and move together:
Monday, September 21 – 1960s: Peace, Love & Pilates
Tuesday, September 22 – 1970s: Disco & Strength
Wednesday, September 23 – 1980s: Big Energy, Bigger Strength
Thursday, September 24 – 1990s: Throwback Flow
Friday, September 25 – 2000s: Y2K Pilates
Saturday, September 26 – Decades Wrap Party: Celebrate Every Era
Members can look forward to celebrating all week long with themed music, raffles, in-studio pop-ups, and more! From peace signs and platform sneakers to Y2K velour and butterfly clips, members are encouraged to dig through their closets, embrace a little nostalgia, and bring their favorite decade to life in class. The celebration will culminate in a Decades Wrap Party, bringing every era together for one final, unforgettable celebration.
Decades Week is more than a costume contest; it celebrates how far Pilates has come since Joseph Pilates founded it in the 1910s and how it continues to bring people together across generations. By expanding beyond a single decade, Club Pilates is creating more ways for members of every age, background, and style to see themselves in the celebration, while staying true to the community-driven spirit that has always defined the brand's Spirit Week tradition.
That spirit of inclusivity comes to life in studios every day, including for one Club Pilates Teasley Commons family spanning three generations. Ray Stephens is 94 and uses a wheelchair, but that hasn't stopped him from gaining real mobility, energy, and confidence through private sessions encouraged by his daughter, Ann Poston. Ann then pushed her own daughter, Abby, to try Pilates, and now all three are regulars, with Ann and Abby taking classes together as mother and daughter.
Whether you’re channeling flower power, disco fever, big 80s energy, 90s nostalgia, or Y2K glam, Decades Week invites participants to move, celebrate, and express themselves across eras.
