Wellness with a Twist: A New Kind of Bach Party
When you think of a bachelorette party, your mind probably jumps to sequins, bottomless brunches, or Ibiza. But what if you started the celebration with a killer sweat session instead?
This past weekend, I hosted a mini bachelorette party for my best friend at Strong Pilates London, a Lagree-style studio that brings the heat with reformer machines and high-intensity, low-impact movement. It was the perfect way to kick off a girls’ day—with core-quaking planks, laughter, and loud playlists.
Why Lagree Works for Group Vibes
If you’ve never done Lagree before, imagine a slower, more intense version of Pilates that leaves you sore in muscles you didn’t know existed. And when you’re side-by-side on megaformers with your best friends? The energy is unmatched.
We booked a private group session and requested a fun, upbeat playlist (Beyoncé, obviously). The instructor tailored it to be accessible for all levels, and honestly, we were all sweating and shaking in sync—bride included.
Want proof Lagree is bachelorette-worthy? According to Women’s Health UK, the method is one of the most effective low-impact workouts to tone, tighten, and torch calories—aka bridal goals.
Post-Class: Mimosas & Matching Sets
After the session, we headed to Farm Girl Café for post-workout mimosas and matcha pancakes. The vibe was wellness-chic and gave us a moment to chill before glamming up for the night.
We gifted the bride a mini “Sweat & Sparkle” kit with grip socks, electrolyte packets, and a silk robe for the evening. It was a thoughtful touch that tied wellness into the celebration—and made for great Instagram stories.
Why This Works
Combining fitness with friendship made the day more meaningful. It felt personal, intentional, and way more us than just doing shots by noon. You can still party hard—but there’s something powerful about starting the celebration in a way that makes you feel good inside and out.
