New To Ally

I’M NEW! WHAT CAN I EXPECT?

Here at ALLY, we offer you the new standard of what boutique fitness has to offer. Swing by and join the squad in an adrenaline-pumping and inspiring 50-minute rhythm cycling class. We ride and move to the beat of the music, incorporating upper body choreography and movement for that extra excitement and pump.

Getting sweaty and working out is an important facet of creating a balanced lifestyle. We recommend friends that are new to group fitness classes to experience the benefits of incorporating a little sweat-out session in your day, and our Essentials 50 ride class most definitely is the best option to kickstart your journey! 

I HAVE NEVER DONE AN INDOOR CYCLING CLASS, WILL I BE OK?

There’s a ride for everyone! Our Essentials 50 class is our flagship ride, designed for individuals across all fitness levels. Our essential ride class is your perfect first stepping stone, emphasizing the ride foundation with simpler routines. You’ll still benefit the mind and body as much as our signature and advanced classes. Our rockstar instructors and friendly front desk team will bring you through the ALLY experience, setting a solid foundation for you before you explore and grow further with your squad.

I HAVE NEVER DONE A REFORMER CLASS, WILL I BE OK?

First-timers to our ALLY Reformer classes are encouraged to attend our Essentials 50 class which is inclusive of a 5-minute introduction to the Reformer. 

Our reformer classes are designed to accommodate participants of different fitness levels and abilities. However, it’s always a good idea to inform the instructor beforehand if you’re new to Reformer Pilates so that they can provide extra guidance and support throughout the class. Enjoy your first ALLY Reformer experience!

WHAT DO I WEAR AND WHAT DO I BRING ALONG FOR CLASS?

ALLY Ride:

We recommend that you come in your workout gear, and a handy water bottle, and we got the rest covered! Wear something that will not restrict your movements and something that you will feel comfortable sweating in, and bring a handy water bottle and socks.

We welcome children and teens as well. Please note that if this is your first time doing private sessions with us, we will first need to match you with an instructor before purchasing your private package. Sessions will be held in a dedicated private studio, equipped with a variety of specialized Pilates and Gyrotonic equipment. The private studio may be shared with one to two other clients at any one time. 

Fill in the form here to book a Private Solo Pilates session.

Gyrotonic

The Gyrotonic Method is an original and unique movement method that addresses the entire person by opening energy pathways, stimulating the nervous system, increasing range of motion, and improving strength and movement efficiency. With Gyrotonic exercises, each movement flows into the next, allowing the joints to move through a natural range of motion without jarring or compression. These carefully crafted sequences create balance, efficiency, strength and flexibility.

Similar to Pilates, Gyrotonic can be used to enhance both physical and mental performances, as well as for anyone and everyone, and can be used for rehabilitation to recover more quickly.

Fill in the form here to book a Private Gyrotonic session.

Duet (Two-on-one)

If you have a friend or partner that you would like to take on this journey with, ALLY Reformer also offers Private Duet Pilates sessions. Your sessions will be personalised according to both of your goals and needs, whilst still enjoying each other’s company when working out together. 

Please note that if this is your first time doing private sessions with us, we will first need to match you with an instructor before you can purchase your private package. Sessions will be held in a dedicated private studio, equipped with a variety of specialized Pilates and Gyrotonic equipment. The private studio may be shared with one to two other clients at any one time.
