FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 14
4:30 PM – UPLIFT with the BPDF Team (Kickoff Class!)
The weekend begins with sweat, sparkle, and a whole lotta joy. Our BPDF crew is taking you higher with UPLIFT — weights, cardio, and pure unicorn energy that will have you grinning from the first squat to the final power pose. This is your official Unicorn Weekend kickoff — let’s fly!
6:00 PM – Sexy SHiNE with the BPDF Team
Hot beats. Explicit lyrics. Unapologetic vibes. This is Sexy SHiNE turned all the way up. Think sass, strut, and songs that will make you blush (in the best way). Bring the sequins, the attitude, and your inner siren — she’s ready to play.
Evening – Friday Evening – Bubba’s Sulky Lounge Excursion 🍹
After we’ve set Unicorn Weekend in motion, the party rolls straight into Portland nightlife with a trip to Bubba’s Sulky Lounge — Maine’s most gloriously retro disco haven. It’s 80’s night so think light-up dance floor, wild décor, and tunes that beg you to let loose. The perfect spot to unleash your unicorn sparkle with your crew. (Limited transportation provided; cash bar.)
SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 15
7:45 AM – Rise & Shine Walk at Fort Williams with Amy
Morning magic in motion: salty breeze, sweeping lighthouse views, and enough unicorn sparkle to power your whole day. Lace up—Fort Williams Park, 1000 Shore Rd is calling.
8:45 AM – Deduct It, Darling! with Erin
Who says tax talk can’t sparkle? Erin turns financial planning into fabulous with quick-hit tips that keep your business smart and your sparkle strong. Deductions, tricks, and a little money magic to make you feel like the boss you are.
9:15 AM – Makeup Tutorial with Mallory
Stage-ready glam without the fuss. Mallory shows you how to nail go-to looks that survive sweat, lights, and body rolls — and you’ll love every second. Bring your own makeup bag and leave with new tricks to make it pop.
9:45 AM – Vid for Socials with Meara
Lights, camera, YOU. Record a routine ahead of time, bring it with you, and Meara will work her editing magic. You’ll leave with real-time changes, scroll-stopping posts, and a video that feels authentic, fun, and so very you.
11:00 AM – UPLIFT with Carson
Carson’s UPLIFT brings sweat, sparkle, and strength training together in a way only unicorns can handle. Weights become wands, cardio feels like celebration, and every rep is powered by community energy. This isn’t just a workout — it’s a glow-up for your soul.
12:00 PM – SHiNE with Mallory
Turn it all the way up! 🔥 Mallory’s SHiNE class is hip hop swagger meets diva power, sprinkled with Dancing-with-the-Stars body rolls and a voice that can belt it out while she slays the floor. All wrapped in a package of awesome, this is the playlist and energy your regular weekend has been begging for.
12:45 – 4:00 PM – Unicorn Recharge
Take the time you need — nap, lunch, ocean walk, or studio hangs. This is your chance to breathe, reset, and come back sparkling.
4:00 PM – Special SHiNE Class with Kendall Nielson
The founder of SHiNE herself is bringing the fire — with unicorn flair. Kendall will lead the room while our front-row divas and instructor-participants back her up with pure sparkle power. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime vibe, and the energy will be off the charts.
Evening – Flashmob Downtown + Dinner & Dance Party!
We hit the town with sparkle power and take over the streets in true unicorn fashion — and then it’s on to a dinner + dance party at a venue worthy of the magic. We’ll laugh, feast, and film the official SHiNE Song of the Week together. Something unforgettable is definitely in motion.

The floor is theirs! Our visiting instructors — plus Kendall — will take the mic (and the stage) to lead their own routines. Expect mashups, unexpected collabs, and front-row divas giving you life. It’s part showcase, part party, all sparkle.
12:00 PM – Restorative Yoga with Jess
Stretch, breathe, and soak in every last bit of unicorn magic. Jess will lead you through a calming, soul-filling practice to balance out the weekend highs.
