It doesn't matter where you're at on your fitness journey today... You are welcome to join this challenge. All you have to do is show up and do your best... and you can lean on me (Kerry) & our uplifting community if you need some extra support along the way.
So, if you're ready to make it a December to remember...
What is The 12 Days of Fitmas Challenge?
This fun-filled and uplifting challenge is the best way to stay consistent with your workouts and keep your body moving heading into the holiday season.
Your challenge, should you choose to accept it... is to complete 12 Pilates and Barre-inspired classes in just 21 days... all from the comfort of your own home!
Each class is designed to increase your energy, strengthen your muscles, and create more fluidity and flexibility in your joints. We'll work the upper body, core, & lower body during each session, for a well-rounded class every time. No muscle will be left behind :).
9 of the classes will be taught live online over Zoom (3 classes/week), and 3 of the classes will be pre-recorded Barre workouts that you can complete on your own time (you'll receive these at the end of each week). Live classes will always be recorded, so if you cannot attend at live class times, you can simply practice when it suits you best.
We will have our last live class of the challenge on Friday, December 19th, and I always give our community the option to wear their fun, festive gear/accessories (like the sparkly onesie and Santa hat in the photos below) for our final class together! We've had over 100 people take on the challenge over the past 5 years, and it is always an absolute blast.
Plus, because it's an expensive time of year, I always like to offer this challenge for a special reduced rate. This year, you can join the challenge for just $49! Only $4/class 🤯.
Head into the holiday break and 2026 feeling totally invigorated, strong, and confident in your body and mind. Commit to your health & fitness today and join the 12 Days of Fitmas Challenge!

FAQs
Where is the program located?
Everything you need to successfully complete the program will be provided to you digitally. You can complete the program from anywhere with decent WiFi! This program is designed to fit into your life without adding any extra stress.
If I'm out of shape can I still participate?
Absolutely! This challenge is designed with all levels of fitness in mind, and will help you get moving consistently again in a way that feels great. I will also provide different options and modifications for more challenging exercises so you can take each class at your own pace. The goal is to move your body to the best of YOUR ability. We'll take it one day at a time and slowly create healthy movement patterns that will keep you feeling good long-term.
When does the program begin?
The program will begin on Monday, December 1st, with our first live class on Tuesday, December 2nd and will run until Sunday, December 21st. You can join at any time before then to secure your spot. Before we start, I encourage you to take some time to set personal goals for the challenge, and of course, add the workout schedule to your calendar.
How often will I exercise each week?
The goal is to move your body for 45 minutes, 4 times a week. If you are just getting back into exercising, this should feel awesome! However, if you've been exercising consistently for a while, you may want to explore our workout library and add in 1-2 extra workouts/week.
Live classes will be held online via Zoom on Tuesdays & Thursdays at 8:00am PST | 11:00am EST, and Fridays at 7:45am PST // 10:45am EST. If you cannot attend live, you can complete the workout replays that will be sent out after each class.
Do I need special equipment for the program?
Small props will be incorporated into each class to enhance the workouts and assist in challenging your stability, strength, and coordination. Props are always optional, and you can still complete each class without them. However, if you want the extra challenge, I suggest grabbing the items listed below before the challenge begins!
I would also suggest having either a wall or a chair close to your practice space that you can use if necessary, as some exercises will focus on balance, and you may require extra support.
Props we will use: Light weights/dumbbells (2-3 lbs), a yoga block, a loop resistance band (medium-heavy, or x-heavy), a long resistance band, and the Pilates squish ball (around 9 inches). You can often find these at Canadian Tire, Winners, or on Amazon.
What if I still have questions?
Send me (Kerry) an email anytime (thekerryhemingway @ gmail .com), and I will answer any outstanding questions you have to the best of my ability. If anything is holding you back from getting started, I am sure we can find a solution together!
