Hailey Bieber Says Pilates Is “Out”
The beauty mogul shared a very hot take on the popular workout
Reported by Harper's Bazaar.
There are trendsetters, and then there is Hailey Bieber — a woman whose manicure choices crash salon request queues and whose willingness to wear capri pants single-handedly rehabilitated the most divisive hem in fashion history. So when she speaks on what's over, people listen.
In a recent Time cover interview — she fronted the Time 100 Most Influential Companies issue for her Rhode Beauty brand — Bieber offered some pointed takes on wellness culture. Matcha lattes got a pass. Pilates did not. "I think it's a little over," she told the interviewer, according to Harper's Bazaar, before catching herself and asking if that was wild to say. Her verdict: she still loves the workout, but believes it has "become a little bit of a fad" — and that genuinely skilled, form-focused teachers are increasingly hard to find.
From "Pilates Princess" to Post-Pilates Era
The timing is notable. Pilates spent the last several years ascending from niche rehabilitation exercise to full-blown cultural identity, buoyed by a broader fitness shift away from punishing cardio and toward low-impact strength work. Celebrities like Kendall Jenner and Dua Lipa kept it visible, but the "Pilates princess" archetype — a specific aesthetic universe of ribbed sets, reformer selfies, and a certain kind of aspirational sweat — owes a significant debt to Bieber herself. She's a known regular at L.A.'s Forma Pilates, often alongside Jenner.
Whether she's actually walking away from the reformer or simply editorializing, Bieber's broader fitness rotation remains intact: personal training with Kristy Godson and sessions at the celebrity-favored Alo Wellness Club in Los Angeles. She's been especially vocal about her routine since welcoming son Jack Blues in August 2024, regularly sharing workouts on Instagram with the kind of effortless, off-duty chic that makes even a gym fit look considered.
Whatever comes next on her workout roster, one thing is certain: Bieber will make it look good — and the rest of us will be copying it by spring.
