At Alimba, each week you will have access to brand new, unique classes, as you train and get strong with us.
Every week is programmed to ensure you are hitting all your muscle groups, without overuse. This means effective workouts - with less down time and less risk of injury.
Read on to learn about each of our class styles:
Lift classes use physics and biomechanics principles to curate effective and efficient workouts to build strength and muscle, without compromising your joints.
Although we do recommend some equipment as you progress (we love dumbbells), there are plenty of bodyweight options as you are starting out (or if you are on holidays) so never fear! Lift Classes are around 30 minutes (or 45 for Full Body).
Form classes focus on strengthening the core and back, with some extra muscle groups sprinkled in. Little or no equipment is required.
Form classes are generally all on the mat/low to the ground, making them approachable (but definitely not easy!).
Form classes are around 30 minutes.
Align consists of fun combos of lower weight, higher rep movements to keep you motivated and feeling that burn!
This class is still strength oriented, and we really tap into the Type 1 endurance fibres during this class. Think a Pilates/Barre inspired workout, with our signature Alimba twist.
These classes are 20-30 minutes (including warm up, cool down & breathwork of course!).
Our Move cardio classes are an optional bonus in the schedule. If you are feeling good, chuck them in! The focus is on getting the heart rate up with plenty of low impact options for those that want to take the jump out. We mix in boxing-style movements, dance cardio and traditional HIIT movements to get your heart pumping.
They are usually 10-20 minutes in duration (including warm up and cool down) so can squeeze into any schedule.
Our classes are designed to be taken by you whenever and wherever it suits your lifestyle best.
However, we do recommend the following schedules (depending on how many days a week you want to work out), to maximise your muscle recovery in between sessions.
Check out the below, and have a play around with what works for you.

We like to make our workouts as effective as possible - so some equipment is naturally required. However, there are plenty of alternatives that you can use, that you will often already have at home.
As always, when using equipment make sure it is safe and appropriate for use.
Below is a list of our most used equipment and some suggested swaps.
We pride Alimba on being a great workout program for people of all different fitness levels. One of the ways this is achieved is by having plenty of options and modifications for a lot of our key movements. For example, if there is a particular glute move that you don't like, you can chose another glute movement that suits your body better. This helps every class feel like a personal training session - to your exact specifications!
