Aligned for Life Pilates

I started with the studio 5 years ago after the recommendation from my health advisers people living with MS, like myself, benefit greatly from on going movement. As the studio offers use of both reformer beds and numerous pieces of high quality equipment, my weekly program is tailored to use these in my own capacity, assisting with my core strength muscle retention and flexibility In addition, the fabulous supportive instructors encourage me when I'm finding an exercise difficult and know when to push me that bit harder without leaving me depleted of energy, all with a laugh and a sense of humour. At the end of each session I'm lifted physically and mentally. I can highly recommend anyone thinking of starting their Pilates journey, do it here, you won't be disappointed.

I have been attending the Aligned for Life Pilates studio in Moonee Ponds since 2016. I intially went to the studio due to a shoulder issue that needed attention. The staff are all very professional and knowledgable. The exercises are all structured to individually meet your needs . The instructors take good care of you so that you make steady progress. I no longer have the issue with my shoulder but I keep attending because I have gained so much strength (especially core) and flexibilty and love the atmosphere. I strongly recommend the studio to all.

I began attending Aligned for Life Pilates based on a strong recommendation from a friend. She was right. I cant speak highly enough of Kath Banks my instructor - she is professional, kind, generous with her time and knows an amazing amount about physiology - and of course pilates! Its really made a difference to my body alignment.

I have been a client now for over 2 years and each week I’m still learning more about how my body moves and needs to adapt for better quality of life. Kellie my instructor has worked with me and provided amazing programs. Highly recommend them for focused movement.

I am recovering after stroke. I am attending Aligned for Life Pilates at Moonee Ponds for more than two and half years for individual sessions with Kath. I can't describe enough how happy I am with this girl. She puts so much energy and heart into each session. Extending sesions to be longer for no extra cost. Her happy, personal aproach and professionalism is above anything. I am getting better and better. Now I believe in brain plasticity , even to not everyone does .Barbara

I've been going to the Moonee Ponds Studio for close to 20 years. That in itself is testament to how fabulous they are - caring, accommodating and individualised attention. Had chronic back problems before then .... AFL has taught me how to protect my back while strengthening my core. I'll be going there for another 20 years :)

I am seeing Kath from Aligned for life for some years now. And yesI am improving all the time.Not only she has vested interest in my rehab and recovery , but in me as a person as well.Studios atmosphere is great, friendlyand very supportive.Staf professionalism plays big factor.

I have been doing Pilates with Aligned for Life for nearly 12 years now, at the insistence of my osteopath. I had recurring back problems that left me incapacitated for days on end and unable to work even though I was full of energy. It was awful. So I was instructed to strengthen my core specifically with Pilates. Thanks to this directive and the expert Pilates training I've received I have not had any such problems for nearly 12 years. It took about 3 months of osteopathy and Pilates to get me back to 'normal'. Since then I've had NO recurrence! It's truly phenomenal. I attend Aligned for Life either 1x or 2x a week. My teacher is Kath but I've also had Danielle, Kelly and Lonya. They are all super professional. I am a teacher so I know when someone knows how to teach and they do. I love that they are hands on (with our permission) and give clear instructions with demonstrations, if need be. Every 10 weeks they provide a new personalised program. You get a lot of attention because each teacher will only work with 4 clients at once. So they set you up, teach you an exercise and move to the next client. By the time they return to you for your next exercise, you are ready; the timing is good. The facility in Moonee Ponds is super pleasant and spacious. They have EVERY manner of Pilates machine and tool. The staff are very well trained; they know physiology, anatomy and are serious practitioners who put your safety and bodily needs first. I can truly say that Pilates with Kath and her peers has changed my life. I breathe better, move better, have better posture, think about what I'm doing much more and believe that, thanks to Aligned for Life, I am honestly stronger and more flexible than I could have dreamed possible. Plus it's enjoyable and gratifying. I hope to stay with them until I'm ancient. I recommend Aligned for Life unreservedly and in the strongest possible terms.

This studio has been one of my best and most transformative finds, ever! After suffering from debilitating back pain for years, the experienced and caring team of instructors knew exactly how to address my issues. My improved core strength, stability, strength and flexibility continues to have a significantly positive effect on my daily life. I can highly recommend Kath & the team to anyone.

Kellie is amazing! I feel a lot stronger and looking forward to more sessions to be back to normal with my strength and health.
