I get asked constantly “but when are you going to add proper strength training?” Like Pilates doesn’t count. Like it’s the warm-up before the real workout starts.
Ten years in, and it’s genuinely been my strength work, my headspace, my breath work, all rolled into one session. Not the soft option. Not something I did to “balance out” the real training.And here’s the bit I don’t say enough: postpartum, pregnancy, during mental health struggles, endometriosis AND so much more! I have never felt stronger in my body than I do right now. Not despite what I do. Because of it.

I say all this because I know a lot of you have been asking for weights programs on the app , for something a bit more intense, and I hear you. But I didn’t want to build some generic “strength meets Pilates” thing just because it’s trendy right now. I wanted to build something that actually comes from what’s worked for me, for a decade.

So that’s THE REBUILD. Launching September 14th, inside the app.

Not a different philosophy, just an extension of the one that’s already kept me strong.
If you’ve ever felt like your training “doesn’t count” unless it looks a certain way, this one’s for you. The perfect post Summer reset & rebuild!

Countdown begins 🙌

the product that’s actually replaced my entire vitamin routine 🫙and I’m talking 8-10 on average a day (no more pill box iykyk)

one sachet a day. that’s it. that’s the whole thing & had more dosages of vitamins than what I was actually taking👀

I took it with me on holiday and honestly didn’t think twice about it, no juggling five different bottles, no “did I pack the right ones,” just one thing. and my energy levels stayed exactly the same the whole trip, which is when I actually noticed it was working.

give it 7-10 days and you’ll feel the difference too💪

Can we talk about the September feeling for just a sec?
Every single year it hits the same, summer winds down, routines have gone a bit sideways, and suddenly September feels like this loud, insistent “okay, back to it” moment. Almost more than January does.

I used to fight that feeling.

So instead of waiting for motivation to magically reappear, I built something for exactly this moment. THE REBUILD; 14 days, starting September 14th, inside the Pilates by Riya app.

This challenge is not about maxing out or doing anything drastic. It’s honestly just about showing up, picking the weights back up, relearning the habit and coming out the other side stronger for the next few months, not scrambling to “start again” come January - please don’t be those people that say ‘I’m just going to wait till January’

If you’ve dipped a bit this summer (don’t feel guilty about it), this is your sign to not overthink it and just come back in September.

PBR members are you ready? And if you’re not a member yet maybe this is the sign👀

Cotswold Wildlife Park might be one of the best family day out we’ve had all summer 🦁🐾 Big thank you to the mama friends who put us onto it because we would not have found this gem otherwise. Watching Ishaan’s face up close with the animals was everything, genuinely gave me safari-in-Africa feelings again. And Pluto got to come too, which basically sealed the deal for us duhhh! 🐾
