PLANKSGIVING 2026
Two Studios. One Mission.
November 1–30
$10 donated by SPYNE Pilates for every sign-up
Welcome!
Every November, our SPYNE community comes together for a month of planks and gratitude, and I’m so glad you’re here. Whether you’ve been planking for years or this is your first time holding one longer than a few seconds, there’s a place for you in this challenge.
Each day brings a new plank. Some days it’s a classic forearm hold, other days a side plank, a reformer variation, or something a little unexpected. It takes just a few minutes a day, and by the end of the month you’ll feel stronger, steadier, and more connected to the people around you.
