It’s Now or Never

by | Aug 23, 2022

Alkalign is a small business. We are not funded by VCs. We are no longer buoyed by government relief. We must operate “in the black” to keep our lights on and our doors open. As our accountants advised us, now is the time to 💩 or get off the 🚽.  A viable business is one that is able to pay the bills (including all the expenses associated with a brick and mortar business) and pay our staff. Both of these are getting harder and harder as our community leans out of in-person group fitness. Now is the time to decide if Alkalign is a business you will support going forward. 

We believe Alkalign offers tremendous value to our community.

Alkalign cares about your safety. I know this sounds boring, but being injured sucks. Ask anyone who has endured an injury. Do you like being in pain? Do you like not being able to do the things you enjoy in life? So many workouts out there prioritize what looks cool or allegedly burns the most calories. Alkalign prioritizes exercises and instruction that teach you how to move better and how to apply what you learn in your workouts to real life situations. A tremendous amount of intention and effort goes into what we teach, how we teach, how we help you align your body and why it matters, because YOU matter. 

Alkalign cares about your mental health. Human connection is essential for mental health. We learned this first-hand during Covid. Isolation, closing of schools and being separated from friends and family didn’t do us any favors. Coming together in a supportive environment with familiar faces who know you and care about your well-being is not something to take for granted. In the digital world, we are more distant from each other than ever. Alkalign provides a unique opportunity to invest in something that is as good for your mental health as it is your physical. No shame. No “no pain no gain” messaging. Alkalign is a place that will consistently lift you up and never let you down.

Alkalign offers personalization. We believe that everybody and every body is unique. People have different needs at different stages of life. Whether you are injured, pregnant, modifying for osteoporosis or trying to figure out how to not piss off your cranky knee, we are here to help. Alkalign incorporates corrective and physical therapy exercises into our workouts, and our instructors are highly trained in modifications. We help you optimize the exercises so they work for your body. It’s the personalized attention of a 1:1 trainer offered at the lower cost of a group class. When was the last time your Peloton, Beachbody or Tracy Anderson instructor helped you customize a workout for your specific needs? 

Alkalign = Authentic Connection & Community. In the digital age, it’s easy to get swept up in the convenience of the mass-produced, one-to-many experience. It’s easy to forget that the instructor on the other end of the screen knows nothing about you. You may even think you prefer this anonymity. Research shows time and time again that community and connection are vital for both physical and mental health. We are also more likely to show up for ourselves when we know there is someone on the other end that is excited to see you. This is human nature, and true human connection cannot be replaced with faux connection. Caloric burn may be equal, but when it comes to the value of human connection, there is no comparison. 

Attending Alkalign classes is a win-win. You are the beneficiary of the aforementioned differentiators and you are supporting health and vibrancy in your own community.

We’ve weathered the Covid storm. We’ve made it through another “summer slump” in the fitness business. Now is the time to decide if a physical Alkalign studio is everlasting.

It Doesn't Have to Hurt to Work

A NEW, 2-week FREE program we are offering to any and all who want to get off the hamster wheel and try something that 1) works and 2) you will enjoy in the process. No more beating yourself up and spiraling the shame drain thinking you have to do more and be more. We embrace a philosophy that it doesn’t have to hurt to work. The extremes aren’t sustainable. Be kind to yourself. Be kind to your body. Slow, steady and sane wins the race of life. And we are here to help you along the way.

Hi! I’m Erin and my passion in life is helping others feel better by helping them get out of their own head. So much of our relationship to food and fitness is a reflection of deeply rooted beliefs that were imprinted on us at a very early age. These beliefs drive all sorts of behaviors, many of which are not good for our physical or mental health. I know this first-hand. As a former calorie-counting cardio queen I played right into all the toxic messages about what it meant to be “healthy”. That all changed when I hit rock bottom. Since leaving my corporate career in 2009 I have been fully committed to shifting the narrative and helping people experience better physical health by unpacking unhealthy beliefs. My biggest inspiration are my two young daughters, who I hope to raise in a household that openly illuminates and addresses the misinformation instead of adopting it.
