Summoning Summer Vibes
Soulful Summer Days….
Summer offers us the perfect opportunity for more exploration, more adventure, and of course more time for resting and relaxing as the sweltering temperatures summon us to take a break….Iced Mint Tea anyone?!?
At Progressive Pilates, we believe your well-being is paramount, no matter the season and where your travels take you. Whether you’re hanging in the city this summer or venturing out to the Hamptons or beyond, stay committed to your practices with our customized Summer offerings. Read below for our Summer Specials including a remarkable savings with our senior instructor Cristina Rubio as well as options to work with us virtually.
We couldn’t let June pass without celebrating PRIDE and offering all of our loving support to our LGBTQ+ community. We see you and we celebrate with you. We are so grateful to have every one of you in our community. Thank you for trusting us with your bodies and beyond! And we’d love to introduce you to our Brooklyn neighbor and colleague, DJ Rock, @thetransfitnessbitch, read below for her exciting offerings in the fitness community.
And finally, we want to highlight our incredible instructor Lucy Kerr this month. Her film “Family Portrait” will be premiering in NYC at the end of June and will run through July. Join us as we celebrate Lucy and this monumental achievement! Many of us will be there for opening night with a q&a and reception following for Lucy on Friday, June 28th!
Happy Pride!
We extend our most heartfelt wishes to everyone in our community that celebrates this special month and we honor all who have fought for freedom and equality for our LGBTQ+ community. We hope everyone has had a beautiful, joyful, and fulfilling Pride Month. May this month, and every month, be filled with safety, equality, community, and LOVE.
Empowering Change Through Movement
This month, as we celebrate Pride, we want to highlight the incredible work of DJ Rock, a certified Pilates instructor and trans fitness influencer who's making waves in the fitness community.
Many of us know the transformative power of movement. Yet, for members of the LGBTQ+ community, especially for the trans community, traditional fitness spaces can feel intimidating and even unsafe. Motivated by her own experience, DJ Rock has dedicated herself to creating a more inclusive fitness landscape. Since 2020, she's been leading group fitness and Pilates classes, both virtually and in-person. But her impact goes far beyond traditional instruction. DJ Rock champions accessibility, offering free community classes, sliding-scale programs, and donation-based pop-up sessions. Her mission is clear: to empower individuals often excluded from fitness due to cost or fear.
"I want to see more people in the fitness industry thinking about ways to make wellness accessible," DJ Rock told SELF. In a world where inclusivity is paramount, DJ Rock serves as a powerful role model.
Let's celebrate DJ Rock and others like her who are breaking down barriers and making fitness a space for everyone to thrive!
To learn more about DJ Rock's work and how you can support her mission, visit her website or follow her on Instagram @TheTransFitnessBitch.
