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 our team in an adrenaline-pumping and inspiring 50-minute Ride class, or a high-toning Pilates class. With ample spaces to hang around outside of class and an in-studio bar for your refueling needs, there’s something for everyone.

Getting sweaty and working out is an important facet of creating a balanced lifestyle. We recommend friends who are new to group fitness classes to experience the benefits of incorporating a little sweat-out session in your day, and our Essentials classes 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.

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

First-timers to our ALLY Reformer and Chair Pilates classes are encouraged to attend our Essentials 55 class which is inclusive of a 5-minute introduction to the Pilates Reformer or Pilates Chair

Our reformer classes are designed to accommodate participants of different fitness levels and abilities. We encourage first-timers to Pilates to attend Reformer Pilates classes first before attempting your first Chair Pilates class. It’s always a good idea to inform the instructor beforehand if you’re new to Pilates so that they can provide extra guidance and support throughout the class. 

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

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.

ALLY Pilates:
Choose comfortable, fitted workout attire that allows for ease of movement, along with your water bottle and hair tie (if needed).

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.
