01 / A NOTE FROM SAM

Train hard.
Get on with
December.

December gets busy. Your training doesn’t have to disappear with it.

I’ve put together six focused strength Pilates workouts to keep you working hard before Christmas. Expect the layers, the control and the deep burn you know I love.

Three sessions a week. Show up, get stuck in, and get on with your day. Complete all six and there’s a secret seventh class waiting for you.

You bring the commitment. I’ll bring the spice.

03 / YOUR 6-WORKOUT LINE-UP

Your six.
Make them count.

Loaded strength, controlled resistance and bodyweight fire. Different ways to work. The same high standard.

Loop & Lift: light-blue workout set, lying on the mat with one leg lifted and a mini loop.

Loop & Lift

Deep, targeted resistance for legs, glutes, core and upper body. Pulses, single-leg work and a mini loop that makes every rep count.

Mini loop + Pilates ball
Total Sculpt: light-blue workout set, hands on the mat with one leg extended high.

Total Sculpt

Dynamic lunges, standing balance and mat work for a full-body sculpt. Expect deep pulses and controlled combinations that keep building.

Bodyweight; Bala Bangles optional
Loaded Lift: black workout set, holding dumbbells at the chest in a deep squat.

Loaded Lift

Heavier weights meet deep, controlled core work. A proper full-body strength challenge, with the ball adding another layer of intensity.

Dumbbells + Pilates ball
Fire & Flow: yellow top and black shorts, in four-point kneeling with one leg extended behind.

Fire & Flow

No kit. Plenty of heat. Flowing combinations, sustained holds and signature SDP layers test your strength, balance and control.

Equipment free
Pilates Power: bright-blue workout set, in a side plank with a dumbbell raised overhead.

Pilates Power

Strong, athletic Pilates with added resistance. Core, glutes, inner thighs, shoulders and arms all have work to do.

Dumbbells; Bala Bangles optional
Full Body Burn: bright-blue workout set, performing a bicycle-style core movement on the mat.

Full Body Burn

Controlled intensity from head to toe. Challenge your legs, glutes, core and upper body with extra work for balance and stability.

Pilates ball; Bala Bangles optional

All six are full-body sessions. Choose three for Week 1, then complete the remaining three in Week 2.

04 / YOUR FINISH-LINE EXTRA

THE PRACTICAL DETAILS

Good
questions.

Need a hand choosing your next step?

Ask the SDP team
When does Wrap Up Strong run?

Monday 7 December to Sunday 20 December 2026. Complete three different challenge workouts in Week 1 (7–13 December), then the remaining three in Week 2 (14–20 December).

Do I need to work out every day?

No. This is three workouts a week, not a daily December streak. Choose the days and order that work for you. The target is all six different classes across the two weeks.

How long are the classes?

Plan for around 30 minutes. The current uploads run from approximately 23 to 35 minutes. Each workout card shows its own runtime, so you can plan your session.

Is this a beginner challenge?

No — this is challenging, strength-led Pilates, not a beginner introduction. It is designed for people comfortable with Pilates fundamentals and ready for more intensity. New to Pilates or returning after a long break? Ask the SDP team to help you choose the right starting point.

What equipment do I need?

For the full line-up: a mat, dumbbells, a mini loop and a Pilates ball. Bala Bangles are optional in the classes that use them. Fire & Flow is equipment-free; Total Sculpt uses bodyweight with optional Bala Bangles. The kit for every class is listed above.

What is the gift, and how do I unlock it?

Complete all six challenge workouts during the two weeks to unlock a secret seventh class — a digital SDP workout, not a physical gift. Follow the completion and reward instructions inside the challenge collection. The seventh class is your bonus; it is not an extra requirement to complete the challenge.

Where do I access the challenge?

Inside the Wrap Up Strong collection on the SDP website or app when the challenge opens. Join SDP, sign in to your account, and follow the challenge from there. Access depends on an active membership.

Already an SDP member?

You do not need another membership. Use your existing SDP account to access Wrap Up Strong when it opens. The challenge is part of your membership.

How do membership and the trial work?

Choose a monthly or annual SDP membership on the Join Now page. Eligible new members can try SDP for seven days; the selected subscription then renews automatically unless cancelled. A seven-day trial does not cover the whole two-week challenge. Keep your membership active to access the workouts. UK prices are shown in the joining section; your checkout confirms the currency, any eligible offer and full billing terms.

7–20 DECEMBER 2026

Finish the year strong.

Six workouts. Two weeks. Your secret seventh class waiting at the finish.

Let’s make those sessions count.
