Living in your Pilates Era: The rise of event based dating
By Sanchia Saunders
Just like the matcha hype, which I’m very much here for btw, the surge that we have experienced, not just here in London, but globally when it comes to the growing rise in popularity of reformer Pilates - has honestly blown my mind.
Don’t get me wrong, I am one of the girlies who have purchased their
grippy socks from Amazon,
booked in for a number of reformer classes and even considered a total career change to become an instructor myself.
So this is why it makes so much sense that Evntful held their very own event at ‘Reformer Pilates London’!
Yes you heard that right, Reformer Pilates has landed onto Evntfuls rosta - so keep your eyes peeled for when the next event is rolled out!
The Event:
On the 1st of June, on a beautifully sunny Sunday in London, 3pm sharp,
Evntful hosted their first ever reformer Pilates class
at
RE:FORM
and let’s just say we’re already having discussions on how we can make this a regular occurrence.
With the vibes in the studio high enough to replicate the surge of adrenaline that coffee often provides - we were able to contribute to the rise in
activity based dating
which is an ongoing mission for us here at Evntful.
As from
Squid Game speed dating and super clubs
on the rise to the
NHS
even stating that, “one of the best things we can do for our mental health and wellbeing is to be active - as it's a natural mood booster - it highlights why the work that we carry out here is so important not just for singles, but for mental wellbeing too.
Why did we partner with RE:FORM?
If Re:forms ethos is anything to go by, then it’s basically self explanatory as to why we partnered with them.
This is because, according to their owner and founder
Alison Bank:
“Reformer Pilates has truly transformed my life, and I’m passionate about the incredible benefits it offers for your body-improving alignment, building strength, enhancing shape, boosting balance, and aiding in injury prevention and rehab.
Unlike high-impact exercise, which I also enjoy, Pilates is gentle on your body, yet incredibly effective. It calms the mind, offering a much-needed escape from the constant mental buzz.”
So with its calming effects and ability to transport you far away from the mental buzz that often consumes our minds, the event was the perfect escape.
With a 2022 survey finding that
82% of people have experienced overstimulation which can then lead to your body activating its sympathetic nervous system, also known as your “fight or flight” response, it reinforces the importance of taking time for yourself and blocking out the noise.
Even though I may be biased, the event proved to be a hit, and also a great opportunity for people to reconnect with themselves and find alignment not just physically but mentally too.
What’s next on the cards?
By now I’m sure you would have seen that we have rolled out a number of amazing events thus far.
From
Rocket Padel
to
The Supper Club,
we think of it all even down to our goodie bags and sponsors.
For this event we were kindly sponsored by
Juno bamboo water
which kept everyone hydrated throughout the class, as well as
Drink Stop Ldn
who looked after us post workout too, with
some yummy goodies.
So when you think about what is not to love?
You’ve got food, drinks, good vibes and amazing events on the cards so if this hasn't got your spidey sense tingling then what will??
However if this sounds like a bit of you, what are you waiting for?
