Busting 3 Myths About Alkalign

by | Jan 15, 2020

At Alkalign, we focus on movement patterns, not muscle groups, when exercising to develop a functionally strong body. At its core, exercise is all about movement. Alkalign is a workout that always builds you up and never breaks you down. You only get one body; start taking care of it like it’s the only one you get.

In 2020, we are setting our sights on busting health and wellness myths. Here are 3 myths about Alkalign that we need to clear up. #alkalignmythbusters #alkalign2020

MYTH 1: ALKALIGN IS BARRE
Yes, we have a barre. We use it as a prop in the room but we are so much more than a barre studio. Alkalign is built on the 7 functional movements needed in your everyday life – squat, lunge, push, pull, rotate, hinge, gait/walk. Sure, if you love barre, you’ll love us, but we go beyond the barre to create a balanced workout that never gets boring and always leaves you feeling the “good sore”.

MYTH 2: ALKALIGN IS ONLY FOR ________ (WOMEN, ‘FIT’ PEOPLE, FILL IN THE BLANK)
Have an injury? Get Alkalign! Are you a cross-fitter or performance athlete? We will show you how to move better to make you stronger. Feeling aches and pains? We can help. We recognize that we are all on different paths. No matter your gender, age or fitness level, there is a place for you at Alkalign.

MYTH 3: I NEED TO DO OTHER EXERCISES IN ADDITION TO ALKALIGN
Yes, it’s true…what you do in our studio helps you do all the other things in life, but we are a one-stop shop for all your fitness needs. We will build your strength from the inside out in a way that is both smart and sustainable. We have a format for everything you need: strength (full body for every body), cardio (no risk, high-intensity for that endorphin high), and mobility (rolling/recovery). We also have a holistic health coaching program called Nourish that educates you on food, sleep, stress and other aspects of your overall health.

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.
