Pilates on the Beach! #EvenBetter

Pilates on the Beach! #EvenBetter

Hey guys!

I hope you had a fantastic weekend! Me? Well, it’s been kinda insane.I feel like I say this every time I write to you guys. I’m getting ready for the first POP Pilates Instructor Training this Saturday and Sunday in LA, among other things. It’s literally 5:13am right now and I am still awake. And it’s not just today…it’s been many days in a row. I know, I know. I need to sleep. It’s unhealthy for me to be up so late working all the time, but I feel like I’m just getting busier and busier! It’s very odd because usually when you get super busy, you hate it and you just naturally shut down.

I guess the problem with having a job you love is that you just can’t stop. Well, I guess that paired with my crazy personality has resulted in some kind of a sleepless worker bee mutant. Also, note that if I wanted to sleep, I could. I don’t have trouble sleeping at all. I just kinda choose not to? (Ah, I feel like it’s college finals season…)

I always tell you – eat well, train hard, and sleep well. I am human and am not perfect and I promise I am working on #3. I just feel like right now, I have to sacrifice it with everything going on. I feel fine really, I still have tons of energy (I don’t know from where), but I do have this little fear that one day I’m just going to lose it.

Haha. Okay well, don’t worry about me. I’m fine for now…just wanted to share that bit with you.

Anyway, it is recap time! Last week I was so happy to have some of you guys attend a class with me on Hermosa Beach at the #EvenBetter Beach Bash with Ocean Spray!

And lookie there! It’s Maria Menounos! It’s my 2nd time making her do Pilates. First time was on EXTRA last year!

I loved the set up at the event. The white and red were classy and very fall. Also the huge cranberry was kind of amazing. I thought all of you guys did a fantastic job. See, when you practice POP Pilates at home then come out to a real class with me…you’re solid. I can tell 🙂

Here’s me telling Maria to open up her chest more and stretch to the sky! I love this move so much. It’s the plank walk opener. Great total body warm up!

I can’t wait to start planning the Blogilates National Tour where I can meet you guys in your city and do a crazy meetup for just POPsters. I wanna make it festival style with cool food trucks, great music, maybe a nail station, a BODYPOP booth…all sorts of fun stuff. There are many states I haven’t been to and I would just love to see where you guys live and be immersed in your culture. It would be so cool.

I’m thinking of possibly pairing up with college campuses and holding the event at your school…so if you think your school would be interested, please comment below and let me know! I’m going to start planning very soon for 2015, so any help would be so appreciated! My last one was at Simmons College in Boston and it was such a great experience planning with the lovely girls there.

Ah! Also…I am announcing details on the #8weekhotbody challenge later today. So stay tuned for a video explaining everything you need to know. It’s gonna be amazing.

Love forever,

Cassey

  2. Jamie says:

  3. Great! Pilates was great! it helps allot to maintain not only just physical appearance.

    Come to UCSB! We are so obsessed with blogilates and you have a huge fan base here! We can do pop pilates on the beach and it will be wonderful!!!!

  14. Chelsea says:

    I second what Paige and Sarah say. I totally agree with the provo area of Utah. It would be huuuuge! UVU and BYU are both huge schools that are 5 miles from each other. I would say hold it at UVU rather than BYU though. UVU would be more supportive of something like this. My best friend runs the student wellness center there. It’s brand new and beautiful and would be an amazing place for a meet up! I’m not a student but I attended both universities and graduated from UVU in exercise science and I’m basically obsessed with blogilates and would love to meet up!! You rock Cassey! Please get some sleep.. I dream of a day when you blog about the 8 hours of sleep you had the night before! 🙂

  15. Anne says:

    Please oh please come to Indiana University in Bloomington, IN!! Also, so excited for the 8 week challenge, hope it’s compatible with college meal plans. 🙂

  16. Jeena says:

    I would love for you to come to Cal State Fullerton! People here are always open to new ways to excercise. I’d make all my friends go.

  17. Alexa says:

    AHH! Come to UC Davis!! You can get all the Nor Cal folks and we have a nice huge quad that’s just begging for pilates 🙂

  18. Julia says:

    Cassey!!! Brazil please!!! São Paulo city and Rio de Janeiro would go crazy! >_<
    Soon here will be summer (even though its already hot), so I'am looking super forward to the 8 week challenge!!
    Thanks Cassey!
    PS: Go sleep guuurl!!! (:

  19. Michelle says:

    Please come to Denver, CO! I’ve already graduated from college but it works be crazy amazing if you made Colorado a go-to on your tour! I don’t know if you’ve ever been here before, but it’s awfully beautiful! I’ve been loving your workouts. My boyfriend is going to buy me Blogilates items for my birthday next month! Then I can take my workout to the next level! Thank you Cassey! You’re truly acc inspiration!

    Love Popster Michelle!

  20. Kristal says:

  34. KJ says:

  37. Nicole Rae says:

    UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH FLORIDA IN TAMPA!!!

  38. Lana says:

    Come to Philadelphia!! Oldest city in the country and filled with longtime Popsters!! Closest 24hr fitness is NYC (over 2 hours away) so we are already missing out on that and we are missing that Popster love presence (as you’ve never held a meet up nearby)!! Its the “City of Brotherly Love”…lets make it the “City of Popster Love”!! 🙂 Thanks so much for everything Cassie…all of your hard work and efforts most definitely do not go unnoticed!

  39. Kate says:

    COME TO THE EASTMAN SCHOOL OF MUSIC in Rochester, NY! At a music conservatory, we don’t actually have sports affiliated with our school, and Pilates is so fantastic for music (and more specifically, for opera singers like me)!!

    xoxo Kate

  40. Paige says:

    While I would LOVE for you to come out to Hawaii so I could go to a class and meet you…!!..I agree with Sarah about going to Utah. Either the University of Utah in SLC or Brigham Young University in Provo would be huge. I recommend Provo because it is almost completely a college town and the Salt Lake students could easily drive. Also, there is the Utah Valley University in Orem, which is basically Provo’s sister town. So you’d have all of those students too.

    BYU and the city of Provo always put on great events and there are always huge turnouts. There is a huge sense of community in the culture where everyone knows everyone and the Whole30 is a huge thing out there right now so everyone is on a health kick!

    I know tons of people who would DIE to go to an event like that in Provo so if you’d need any help recruiting or giving you contact info I’d be happy to help! Just shoot me an email 😉

  41. Jayne says:

    OH MY GOD please do an international tour!!! Connecticut has gotten no love!!! I don’t care what school you go to! just please come!!! taking one of your classes is on my bucket list!!

  42. Kimberly says:

    Come to Tarrant County College Southeast! !!! I will take everyone I know!! So excited about the journal cus I am getting it and you haven’t even told us about it!

  43. Celia Vitale says:

    Cassey! College campuses are a great idea! So that people just like you can find out they love Pilates like you did. If you can make it,come to University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The Tar Heels would LOVE IT!!!!!

    1. Jenni T. says:

      I totally second this :)! We have so many great spots for Cassey to teach at!

  44. Please come to Seattle! I would love to meet you!

    1. Veronica says:

      I SECOND THIS! 🙂

  45. Jocelyn says:

    Please look into coming to University of Central Florida in Orlando! We have the second largest student body in the country so it would be a definite huge turn out and we would be ecstatic to have you!

  46. Ruth says:

    Cassey, please, please, please,
    Come to Florida, at Florida Atlantic University, I really cannot afford traveling and since you started the Boston meet up, I’ve been praying for a Florida meet up, so please, please FLORIDA ATLANTIC UNIVERSITY, BOCA RATON, FL have to be in your list this year. I am really looking forward to meet you in real life and I’m sure a lot of other posters in Florida too. Let this be your Christmas present to us!!!!
    Sincerely,
    Your fan/poster since 2009
    Ruth 🙂

  49. Heather says:

    Dear Cassey,

    What a grand event it is, I truly hope I could attend and see you but I am on the other side of the earth, so it is impossible. Please come to Malaysia if you could.

    I am so excited for the 8 week plan, please upload soon. I seriously can’t wait for it. Thank you.

    Thank you so much for everything 🙂
    Love,

  55. Claudia says:

    It would be fantastic if you came out to Claremont! It’s pretty close to LA, and there are five colleges within one square mile, so you could come to any school and invite students from the whole consortium! I go to Scripps, but Pomona is the largest.

  56. Gemma says:

    Looking forward to the 8 week challenge details! And idk where you get all that energy either, but I wish you could sell some in your shop! Luv ya!

  57. Sarah says:

    PLEASE come to the University of Utah in Salt Lake City! I know you have been to Utah a few times before but I just found you recently and would LOVE to come to a meetup. 😀 Good luck with all the awesome things you have going. Super excited to see the challenge today too.

  58. Awesome event! Thanks for sharing the recap.

  59. Amelia says:

    Oh my goodness if you came to St. Joseph’s College of Maine in Standish, Maine I would probably die of excitement! i’ve told a lot of my friends about your blog and doing pilates and they all seem intrigued but have never tried it! I’m sure if they heard it from you they would be excited about doing it! Most people in Maine don’t know what pilates is (it’s a pretty rural state!) but I think it would be a great experience for my school!

    Training hard!
    Your POPster,
    Amelia
