ALKALIGN IS MORE THAN A WORKOUT

Each Alkalign class is built upon the 7 core functional movements you make in your everyday life: squat, lunge, push, pull, rotate, hinge, gait/walk. Efficiently building strength and increasing mobility are the keys to sustaining your body for a lifetime; our classes, led by highly trained instructors, offer effective full-body workouts that will complement and support everything you do in life.

Alkalign is so much more than just another workout.

We want to you move and perform better, reducing wear and tear on your body, but we also want you to live better. We care about the whole you — mind, body, and spirit. We are here to empower you to break free from fitness myths and unreasonable expectations so you can fall in love with movement and your body.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Alkalign is training for life. Our functional fitness classes train your body and brain to work together for everyday tasks—squatting to pick up heavy boxes, rotating to grab something from the back seat—or any movement you need in daily life. Our proprietary blend of exercises ensures your entire body is strong, balanced, and mobile so you can live well and without pain.

    We offer more than workouts. Our holistic approach also offers Nourish, a health coaching program that complements classes and maximizes your results.

  • Functional fitness focuses on the seven functional movements of the human body: squat, lunge, hinge, rotate, push, pull, and walk. Our classes train your muscles to work together in proper alignment and prepare them for daily tasks at home, work, or sports. By using multiple muscle groups simultaneously, functional fitness strengthens your muscles, improves mobility & balance, and reduces risk of injury. The way we plan and sequence our classes results in the most effective, efficient, and fun way to train your body and brain.

  • We combined “alkaline” (representing water, stability, balance, and the ideal pH state of your body) with our passion for alignment to form Alkalign.

  • It’s less about “what” the difference is and more about “why” we offer two types of memberships.

If you're not ready to be on camera yet, that's okay too—we're a welcoming, judgment-free environment. Only the instructor can see you, while the rest of the class looks at the spotlit visual demo.

    Livestream classes are 30-45 minutes in duration and are interactive. A live instructor encourages you, offers feedback, and provides verbal adjustments. Great for accountability.

  • Classes range in duration, but are usually either 30 or 45 minutes.

About Our Build Program

  • Build helps you build strength with workouts that feel good. We focus on alignment and form, targeting one muscle group at a time with heavy weights, bands, and props. Like all Alkalign classes, Build is customized for you with real feedback and modifications.

    We offer 3 classes per week (live or recorded), each 30-45 minutes, designed to progressively challenge your muscles to get stronger. Classes should be taken sequentially for balanced muscle development—we do the planning for you!

    Build uses progressive overload, gradually increasing your workload to stimulate muscle growth. Your muscles adapt and become stronger when challenged progressively and safely. We prioritize form and alignment for maximum reward with minimum risk.

  • Lifting heavier weights increases muscle growth. As we age, we lose muscle mass, so challenging your muscles helps maintain and gain lean muscle. Benefits include:

    • Boosted metabolism

    • Maintained bone density

    • Increased lean muscle and prevention of age-related muscle loss

    • Real-world strength (for groceries, luggage, kids, pets, etc.)

    • Improved athletic performance and injury prevention

    • Increased functional range of motion

  • Anyone interested in lifting heavier or building strength. If you've been curious but intimidated, Build is for you. If you're not interested, no worries—Align, Cardio, and Mashup classes include plenty of weight-bearing exercises for bone density and functional strength.

    Build is especially important for women in perimenopause and menopause. Strength training is one of the most effective ways to counteract hormonal changes, preserve muscle mass and bone density, boost metabolism, and improve mood.

  • No. It's impossible to bulk up from lifting weights unless you're consistently in a calorie surplus designed to increase muscle mass. For nutrition guidance to optimize workouts, check out our Nourish for Build program or contact us for 1:1 coaching.

  • Muscle building happens during recovery between sessions. Weight lifting breaks down muscles during the workout—you need adequate recovery time, quality nutrition, and recovery enhancers like massage balls to repair and get stronger.

    You can supplement our 3x/week Build with Align, Cardio, or other activities 1-2 times per week, but don't overdo it. Back-to-back intense workouts can impede progress and risk injury. We strongly suggest trying Recharge to maximize recovery.

  • Studies show lifting just 2-3 times per week delivers all the benefits without added stress on joints. This schedule provides ample recovery time, which is essential for building strength.

Health & Wellness Coaching

  • Yes! Nourish, our holistic health coaching program, helps you discover how what you eat impacts how you feel. You'll also become more aware of the 5 Pillars of Health: Nutrition, Sleep, Hydration, Movement, and Connection. Join our next group session or contact us for 1:1 coaching.
