Over the course of four weeks, you will work through a schedule of powerful Pilates workouts coupled with restorative stretch sessions. We lean into added resistance and intentional use of equipment to create real strength and a body that feels powerful.
The Workouts
The Power Up Challenge includes a 4 week calendar of 5 x weekly powerful Pilates classes and 2 x weekly restorative stretch sessions. We lean into added resistance and intentional use of equipment to maximise your strength gains, without losing focus on Pilates alignment and control.
The brand NEW class categories included in the Power Up Challenge are:
Power Pilates – a full body Pilates-inspired, strength-focussed workout that will challenge every muscle group. This class incorporates an optional light set of dumbbells (1-2.5kg) and ankle weights to boost the results. Power Pilates will improve your total body strength, stability and power.
The Power Up Challenge has been designed to help you move stronger, feel more powerful and build long lasting results.

How do I prepare for the Balanced Body Challenge?
Sign up to a Pilates By Bel membership here to start prepping for the challenge, which launches 5th January 2026.
Start by creating a routine. Set aside time each day to move your body (ideally in the morning!). This is your own time to reset, connect to your body, and feel amazing.
Create an energising and inviting space to move. Whether this is in your bedroom, the lounge room, your gym or outside, find a space you feel most comfortable. Roll out your mat and start moving.
