Invigorating Mind & Body

Aliento is designed to assist women of all ages to create a leaner, stronger, more flexible and balanced body. If your objective is to increase fitness, tone, lose weight, improve core strength or reduce aches and pains, then Aliento can assist.

Relaxing, therapeutic and vitalising fitness for women of all ages

Aliento was created in March 2010 as an alternative to traditional gyms for women of all ages.  Whilst going to the gym is the preferred fitness solution for some people, it’s certainly not for everyone.

Aliento has been specifically designed to create an effective, enjoyable and therapeutic alternative where;

  • the exercise programmes are so versatile that they meet the needs of all women, regardless of age and physical condition
  • the routines are less high impact, joint stressing and percussive than those frequently found in traditional gym environments
  • exercise is supervised at all times to ensure maximum effectiveness and less risk of injury
  • the environment is informal, relaxed and social

After having back surgery a few years ago I have struggled to find a form of exercise that is low impact, allows me to strengthen my core, increases my heart rate and satisfies me mentally and physically. After only 20 sessions my back is stronger than it has been in years, I have lost 38cm and my body shape has become more defined and toned. You are able to work at your own pace, increasing or decreasing your activity as you need to and the staff and other members are incredibly friendly and helpful. The benefits to my health have been amazing and I am now able to do things that previously my back would not have been able to cope with. I feel like a new person!

Amazing! Having attended Aliento for nearly six weeks I find I am planning my days so I can get there because it makes my day! The girls who assist clients make it so comfortable–they are always helpful and SO friendly–and Alison is so professional and knowledgeable. It amazes me that they all know everyone’s names and are so ready to suggest new ways to use the equipment to best suit my needs. 23 cm GONE in 5 and a half weeks–I am thrilled to bits. Thank you Aliento team for making me feel so relaxed about “going to a gym”–because you are all so helpful and enthusiastic about looking after everyone. Best thing I have done in a very long while.

I was diagnosed with bulging discs and arthritis in my L4/L5 and S1. I was advised by my Osteo to visit Aliento to help strengthen my core muscles which will relieve the back pain. I started 5 weeks ago and couldn’t even get up off the beds (I rolled off), I was in that much pain….5 weeks on and now I can jump off the beds and have noticed a huge difference in flexibility and strength….and NO PAIN at all…and to top it off, I have lost 25.5cm all round. The staff there are wonderful and are so friendly. Going there each day is like catching up with old friends for an hour. I wish I knew about this gym years ago.

I had been looking for a method to tone and improve fitness without attending a gym. Aliento has been the perfect find. I managed to tone 23cms in 20 sessions. The staff are super helpful. The routines on the equipment are changed and challenged regularly. The WBV is the best invention. Very flexible sessions times as I work full time. I attend twice a week and highly recommend it to anyone.

Having an injury to my back that was causing me great pain most days, I had been nervous to go to a gym in case I aggravated it. However after reading about Aliento and what they could offer I had to give it a go. After just a few sessions I realised I was no longer in pain and was feeling great! In such a short amount of time I have increased my flexibility greatly, lost cms from all over my body and have a generally better sense of wellbeing. The equipment at Aliento is fantastic and very easy to use and Alison and her staff are fantastic and very supportive, making it much more enjoyable to attend my gym sessions! I am so glad I found out about Aliento as it has made my body feel better then it has in years!!

I told myself I would try anything to regain my movement after injuring my back. My myotherapist recommended “Aliento” to me and of course I had to try it. I was very cautious at first as I still had pain and restrictive movement. Alison and her team are so understanding and knowledgeable as not to aggravate any injuries and their support is wonderful. I am very excited with the results I have achieved with their personal attention . My movement has greatly improved and as a bonus have lost 1.2kg and 24 cms in 17 sessions. Thank you Alison and all your fabulous team. I still have that smile.

After only 9 sessions I had lost 31cms!! I was absolutely amazed. I started going to Aliento to tone up for my wedding, and was so pleased at the result in such a short space of time. I also found that I no longer need to go to the chiropracter every month or so. The staff are very helpful & make suggestions to try different techniques to vary the exercises. Being relatively young & able bodied, I like to push myselft a bit more than someone who is recovering from injury or has restricted movement, but this makes it great because my Mum comes with me & can use all the same machines to do exercises that suit her. It has helped her mobility & posure enormously.

32.5cms lost in 8 sessions!! Feeling and looking great. I struggled to exercise without being in pain – especially after two caesarian births and a hysterectomy. Allison and the team at Aliento have been there to help and encourage me every session and all with no pain just results and no pushy sales tactics either. My session is done in an hour and I go twice a week. Get on it ladies – well worth it.

After joining Aliento 6 weeks ago I am now finally enjoying going to the gym. I have noticed a great improvement in my posture and my body shape is changing for the better. The atmosphere is fun and friendly and Allison and the staff are truly amazing and each time I go I feel like I have my own personal trainer. Thanks Aliento

I joined Aliento on a recommendation of a friend and after 15 sessions I have lost 31cm. I have had problems with my knee which restricted my options for exercise but have found since exercising at Aliento the pain has almost gone. Alison and her staff are so friendly and are always help and encourage so you get the most out of your workout.I highly recommend Aliento to all.

I had been out of work for over 12 months due to 3 budging discs in my back unable to exercise. I was in a bad mindset and gaining weight not happy with my personal state, heard about Aliento before my injury but only after not being able to exercise in any way did i revisit Aliento. I met Alison and her staff and was given a completely tailored holistic approach to my health encompassing both physical and emotional support. I was given a trial period with no pressure to join, I loved it and since starting have done 15 sessions and have lost kilograms and centimetres. I’m now more flexible and have more confidence. My pain level has greatly decreased improving my quality of life. Have many great facilities such as the Vibrosaun! Very supportive environment with both gym atmosphere and spa like in other areas! Definitely give it a try!

Getting back into shape has never been easier

Achieving tone requires an increase in fat-free (lean muscle) mass and a decrease in fat tissue. By boosting the body’s ability to grow and maintain lean muscle more efficiently, Whole Body Vibration Training has the edge on conventional training methods.

Pain Relief

A perfect alternative to the high impact, percussive and joint stressing routines that are frequently found in traditional gym environments.

Exercise doesn’t need to be difficult to be effective. Targeted programmes that nurture, connect and balance the body are more sustainable and result in a leaner, stronger, healthier body. Aliento’s programmes work from the inside out – invigorating the mind and body so that all women, regardless of age, weight or physical condition, can be in the best shape they’ve ever been – both mentally and physically.
