Aligned for Life Pilates

Such a getaway from the city to workout with quality teachers who are incredibly knowledgeable about Pilates. Couldn’t recommend them more highly. A studio truly focused on movement for life no matter what walk of life you’re from.

This studio provides a welcome retreat from the city rush, a peaceful place to focus on Pilates practice with the highest quality instruction from the staff, and above all a truly caring community of clients, instructors and trainees.I've attended mat and studio sessions as a client since 2018, and recently completed studying the Diploma of Professional Pilates Instruction with National Pilates Training, which is facilitated through this very studio.My journey through Pilates has seen my overall health has transform. Having lived with chronic fatigue all my adult life, I can thank the Pilates method for finding more balance in managing my condition, improving my resilience in everyday physical demands. My understanding of my body mechanics and how to manage pain, tension and migraines through improving my alignment, strength and functional movement have all contributed to my ability to live a fuller life.Having joined the staff at Aligned for Life CBD, I am proud to be part of a team of lovely people who I admire, each highly trained, attentive to detail and driven to help their clients discover a new level of holistic wellbeing.My studio sessions taught by both Ben and Mel are my favourite days of my week, and the mat classes with Kishore and Mel are excellent fun, often at a faster pace, and perfect for breaking up a day sitting at work!Highly recommended for people at any level of fitness, Aligned for Life will set you up for life-long connection and love for your own body.

Great studio in the heart of the CBD. Being new to the world of Pilates, all the instructors were amazing and very welcoming. i would recommend to anyone looking to start.

I love coming into this studio! I have been attending AFL for 12 months, and this studio for 9 months. Eleena is a dream instructor, always challenging me and taking me that bit further in my journey to be the strongest and healthiest version of myself. Always a clean studio and all staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. I always feel great leaving here after my weekly sessions!

I have been attending as a client since moving from Perth to Melbourne in 2016. I sought out this studio immediately when I arrived in Melbourne to help further my training as a Pilates teacher and my understanding of Pilates as a client of AFL. Working in the industry, I was already aware of the quality of the Pilates teachers at Aligned for Life before moving from WA to VIC (and I wanted to have the best)!I always enjoy my Studio Pilates sessions with Ben! My weekly sessions are absolutely essential for keeping me physically strong and mentally focused and healthy. In my many years of practicing Pilates I have used the method to manage and recover from a number of injuries including a back injury (disc bulge), knee injury (patellofemoral syndrome), muscle/joint injuries (shoulder, both ankles, hip joint), and an upper limb fracture. Ben does an amazing job of assisting with the management of my injuries/conditions whilst keeping me challenged in my sessions!Thanks Ben!

Great studio and staff, knowledgeable instructors, groups are small so instruction is very personalized. Mat class is great! Small group and fun.

I always look forward to my sessions at Aligned for Life CBD, and feel great afterwards. The studio is spacious and welcoming. And the instructors are knowledgable, skilful and committed - providing support, while also challenging me to to get the most from my practice on any given day.With a history of injury, I was initially drawn to Aligned for Life because of its association with Pilates training, and the high standard of instruction that comes with a focus on continuous learning. I highly recommend Ben and the team.

I absolutely LOVE my Pilates classes with Ben at Aligned For Life. I feel stronger and taller than I've ever felt. Ben has a wealth of knowledge and communicates really clearly to help you achieve your goals. Highly recommend coming to the studio to try for yourself!

I’ve been absolutely enjoying my weekly sessions here with Michelle. She is super sweet and encouraging, and I can see myself getting stronger and more in touch with my body week by week thanks to her super effective program for me. I absolutely love the vibe of the studio. When I first started doing Pilates at the studio, Ben and Thea made me feel super welcome. Every instructor I’ve met here is super friendly. Highly recommend the studio.

Aligned for Life (AFL) (CBD) is a fully equipped Pilates studio in the heart of Little Bourke Street. I enjoy my classes with Michelle and Mel, and learn a lot from observing Ben when he teaches. This friendly studio caters to a wide diversity of people and age groups, and has intentionally small studio class sizes (so everyone receives lots of personalised attention). I find it a fun and safe space to practice the Pilates Method.
