October Events Recap and Get Outside!

November strikes again! But before we begin prepping for the holidays, we wanted to look back on this crazy-busy past month and all of our “Get Outside” moments. This October was extra eventful for Pilates Platinum trainers, owner Heather Dorak, and Pilates Platinum members & friends. Filled with charity events, recipe sharing, fall hiking, community events and free workout classes, and the annual Making Strides Against Breast Cancer 5k Walk—October was one for the books!

We don’t always get to cover everything going on in the Pilates Platinum world here on the blog, so instead we’ve put together a recap to share the month’s highlights for anyone who might have missed out on some of the fun!

As always, we encourage you to spend time Outside each month and share your Get Outside moments online with @PilatesPlatinum by hashtagging #PilatesPlatinum and #GetOutside.

Scroll below to catch a glimpse of what went on in October,

& hopefully this November will bring just as much fun!

Pilates Platinum’s Holiday Special is live! 10 Classes for $150.00. Unlimited quantities may be bought, now through November 15^th. Head over to www.pilatesplatinum.com and take advantage of this deal (for yourself or as a gift!) before it ends mid-month.

Officially, Breast Cancer Awareness Month might have ended, but that doesn’t mean that fighting for the cause has also ended! Pilates Platinum teamed up with @fabfitfun this month because this cause is near and dear to our hearts. Breast Cancer affects 1in 8 women. Here’s a video recap on the Pilates Platinum Instagram page feature a clip from fabfitfun’s pop-up breast exam shop held at the @melrosetradingpost on Sunday. Fabfitfun is doing an amazing job reminding us all that every month is breast cancer awareness month!

Speaking of Breast Cancer Awareness, we had such an amazing turnout at the annual Making Strides Against Breast Cancer 5k walk in Santa Monica this month! Check out some of the photos (and professional stretching moves!) below and on the Pilates Platinum Instagram page. We hope you will join us, and Making Strides, again next year for this important cause.

Another important cause: early October, Pilates Platinum teamed up with Athleta and Run for Her to host a Strengthen, Lengthen & Tone class at The Park at The Grove. The Run for Her event, and the killer workout, were both a success and helped raise awareness in fighting Ovarian Cancer. Thanks to Pilates Platinum Instructors Brian Evans (@btoned) and Celine Wallace (@celine_wallace) for your hard work in making us work hard instead of shop at The Grove (@thegrovela)!

On a lighter note, BurnThis fitness ambassador Heather Dorak shared her Top 10 Favorite Healthy Snacks in her Cupboard on the BurnThis blog. Check it out here to learn why nuts, spices, coffee and raw honey are foods you should keep in stock!

Did you take advantage of Marie Claire Magazine’s #PeakWeek with BurnThis? We sure did! Pilates Platinum, along with other top studios in LA and NY, offered free community classes during this event and had a blast making our sweat social. Special thanks to everyone who took a Pilates Platinum class and joined in on the #MCPeakWeek fun! Follow @BurnThisDotCom and @PilatesPlatinum to be in-the-know about future events like this.

We can’t leave out all the fun our instructors had over Halloween! Check out west side instructor Lindsay (@lindzwhit) sporting an appropriate outfit for both teaching class and celebrating the holiday. Instructor Ricky (@RickyRebel) dressed up too, but his look was for his 2-set concert on the main stage at the @WehoCarnival West Hollywood Halloween Carnival! And did you spot our Non-GMO Candy post? Take a look at the pilatesplatinum.blogspot post for an easy-to-follow list of PP Approved sweets.

And to round up the October recap, we’re proud to have made the cut on another list of LA’s best studios! We’ve shared how much we love The Tig before, and this past month, @_thetig shared how much they love Pilates Platinum! Check out The Tig's Healthy Living Guide to LA where you’ll spot your favorite SPX Pilates studio (hint…it’s us!) on the list.
