Last night, Tuesday 13 January, ELLE and Sweaty Betty hosted a nationwide Introduction to… Pilates class in almost every single store simultaneously across the country.

Everyone who came was put through their paces in a Pilates class that was part introduction, part challenge. At each store the instructor put their own spin on the class – some used Pilates rings, others weights.

Our Editor-in-Chief Lorraine Candy and Sweaty Betty’s founder Tamara Hill-Norton both joined in at the King’s Road class. Post Pilates everyone was given a Vita Coco coconut water and 20% shopping voucher – a welcome reward for a session well done.

Oh, and all attendees received a goody bag worth over £40 with products from some of ELLE’s favourite health and beauty brands – Benefit, Elemis, Nuun, Bounce Balls, Beauty’in and Naturya.

The ELLE Edit is available to buy now in Sweaty Betty stores nationwide, and online.
