Alo Moves is an online library of wellness classes created by the trendy athleisure brand. Beyond just HIIT, Pilates, yoga and strength training, Alo Moves also offers nutrition, breathwork and meditation classes. With so many online workout platforms, how does Alo Moves stack up? Athletech News put the platform to the test.
Pros
One of the big benefits of Alo Moves is its sheer range of over 2,500 classes. Alo Moves’ yoga classes include hatha, kids yoga, kundalini, prenatal and restorative classes. Although created by Alo Yoga, the platform is so much more than just yoga. Its fitness classes include extensive offerings across barre, dance, gym, HIIT, Pilates, running, sculpt and strength. The platform is not just about fitness; it even offers mindfulness classes including reiki, sound therapy, cycle syncing, personal growth and sleep guidance. The platform also shares recipes, from Nori Salad Wraps to a Green Lemonade Detox Juice.
The platform is easy to navigate, whether the user is browsing or looking for a specific class. Alo Moves also offers the option to take each class with or without music, which can make or break a game for some users. It’s also easy to navigate based on difficulty level, duration, instructor or specific intention. For example, users can filter based on skills such as arm balances, backbends or inversions. Alo Moves also offers series like 5-Day Sculpt Strength or a 4-week run series to build endurance. The platform is aesthetically pleasing, with beautiful backgrounds and settings to transport users from their living rooms.
Alo Moves is reasonably priced for its offerings, at $12.99 per month or $129.99 annually. It comes with a 14-day free trial so users can try out the platform before committing.
Cons
The platform does not offer live classes, which might be a dealbreaker for those who need additional motivation. Although a good problem to have, the sheer variety of classes may also bring about decision paralysis for indecisive users who want more streamlined options.
Although the platform offers plenty that is not yoga, if you have no interest in yoga or yoga-adjacent activities like Pilates or barre, Alo Moves may not be your best option. It also does not offer fully personalized plans, but you can use the playlist feature to customize routines.
Overall, Alo Moves is a versatile workout platform with a wide breadth of options, a perfect holiday gift for a fitness enthusiast.
