Claim your spot

Sound familiar?

You tell yourself you'll go after school pick-up.
Then the weather turns, traffic backs up, and home sounds easier.

You know class would help.
You always feel better after.

But the first step back out in the cold? It feels like a lot.

So you stay in. Scroll for a bit. Snack on whatever's there.

Tell yourself you'll reset next week.

Then next week arrives — and it looks exactly the same.

The solution

This isn't a willpower problem.
It's a winter problem.

That's why we created the 28 Day Winter Wellness Challenge - designed specifically for Queenstown people who are done struggling through the dark, cold months and ready to actually feel strong, energised and confident.

28 Day FAQ

What exactly is the 28 Day Winter Wellness Challenge?

It's a structured 28-day programme at Align Studios designed to keep you moving, nourished, and mentally thriving through the darkest stretch of winter. You get unlimited classes, a winter nutrition guide, a mindfulness guide, a scorecard to track your sessions, weekly prizes through our Bingo card, and a limited-edition sweatshirt if you complete it. It runs June 8 to July 5.

How much does it cost?

$50 entry fee plus your membership. If you're already a member, you just pay the $50 challenge fee. If you're new, we'll get you set up on a 1-month membership alongside your entry. Cancel any time after your month is up.

What classes count?

All of them! Reformer Pilates, Mat Pilates, Yoga Flow, Barre, Breathwork, Restorative Stretch, Fitness Circuit. Wellness talks, and special events. If it's on the Align Studios timetable during the challenge period, it counts.

How do the weekly prizes work?

Through your Bingo card. Every challenge task you complete earns 1 ticket in the weekly draw - things like attending specific class types, completing in-class challenges, writing a Google review, or bringing a friend. Complete 5 in a row and earn 3 bonus tickets. Complete the full card and earn 5 bonus tickets. Winners are drawn every week.

What is the sweatshirt and how do I earn it?

It's a limited-edition Align Studios Winter Wellness sweatshirt - and you can't buy it anywhere. The only way to get one is to complete the challenge: 16 sessions, 4 bonus missions, scorecard submitted by July 5. We hand them out from July 5.

I've never done Pilates before. Is this for me?

Absolutely. All class types and levels are included and our teachers will look after you. The challenge is about consistency and showing up - not about being the best in the room.

What if I get sick or go on holiday?

Sick? Rest, recover, come back strong - the 28-day window gives you some flex. Travelling? We have home workouts you can take anywhere in the world. But here's the rule: you have to post it and tag us. A workout in a hotel room in Bali that nobody sees didn't happen. No post, no credit. Simple. 📸

I'm already pretty fit. Is this going to be challenging enough?

The challenge is what you make it. The Bingo card has tasks that will push you - and the consistency requirement is what trips up even the fittest people. Winter is the test. Showing up when it's dark and cold is the challenge.

What's included in the guides I receive?

You get two digital guides when you sign up: Eat With the Season - Winter Edition (12 pages covering NZ winter seasonal foods, 9 recipes, warming teas, and a daily nourishment template) and Ground Down - Winter Mindfulness Guide (8 pages with 6 home practices including breathwork, yoga nidra, and a winter solstice ritual for June 21). Both are yours to keep.

How do I sign up?

Fill in the form below and our team will be in touch to get you set up. Spots are limited - once they're gone, they're gone.
