Studios nationwide to host groovy classes, events and offer exclusive promotions

FORT WORTH, Texas (April 29, 2026) – In honor of National Pilates Day, BODYBAR Pilates, a leading modern Pilates franchise, today announced the annual return of its PLANKstock festival – a 70s‑inspired celebration – on Saturday, May 2.

Participating studios nationwide will unite for one day of movement, community, and feel-good energy. They will each host their own, unique PLANKstock celebrations, transforming studios into mini music‑festival experiences. Members can expect a variety of complimentary mat Pilates classes, complete with glitter, glow sticks, and fun lighting. Members are encouraged to dress up in their funkiest 70s‑inspired gear too.

Studios will also offer giveaways, raffles, referral perks, and exclusive PLANKstock‑only promotions throughout the event. Many will host pop-up events, including but not limited to DIY tie-dye stations, make-your-own flower crowns and plank contests, also partnering with local food and beverage vendors and community businesses.

“PLANKstock is one of our favorite events of the year,” said Kamille McCollum, chief brand officer, president, and co-founder of BODYBAR Pilates. “It’s such a fun way to bring our community together and celebrate the energy that makes BODYBAR special. We love creating an experience that feels welcoming, a little unexpected, and shows just how strong and empowered you can feel through Pilates.”

Whether attendees are Pilates pros or trying the workout for the first time, PLANKstock is designed to be welcoming, energizing, and fun. Each class ends with a signature plank challenge, bringing the community together for one final moment of collective strength.
