Aligned Movement

Fantastic experience: A enjoyable first visit to Aligned Movement Saturday morning “Reformer” class. Good quality & clean reformers & instructor Nicola held a clear & challenging class. Great vibes too!

Fantastic experience: I've been going to AM (twice a week every week!) since August last year and the difference it has made to my balance, mobility and general strength is amazing. Alyssa and her team go out of their way to make sure everyone in class is comfortable and they're so incredibly supportive. Highly recommend :)

Fantastic experience: Aligned Movement in Kerikeri is truly a gem. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and supported. There’s a genuine warmth in the community that makes every class something to look forward to. The instructors are knowledgeable, encouraging, and create a space where everyone feels seen – no matter your fitness level. So grateful to have found this beautiful space!

Fantastic experience: I was attracted by the 2 week intro options for new starters. The Aligned Movement class schedule is packed with variety to keep you motivated and I love that every class includes breathwork and mindfulness. This studio unique. The July Bingo challenge has been a really positive experience. The AM instructors and clients are so welcoming and encouraging. AM promote a journey of alignment, inspiration, transformation and better movement. I've experienced all of these benefits and boosted mobility after just a few weeks.

Fantastic experience: As part of the Aligned Movement family I feel very comfortable in the studio. Alyssa and her team of instructors are very professional and understanding and accommodating to all degrees of levels of fitness. I always come out after a class feeling energised, and ready for more the next day. Other members are very friendly and inclusive. I can not recommend highly enough.

Fantastic experience: Love coming to my Pilates and Yoga classes at Aligned Movement. Everyone is so welcoming and friendly. There's a variety of classes to choose from including Mat Pilates, Circuit Pilates, TRX, Swiss Ball. Reformer and Yoga. The instructors are great, always willing to help and guide. Aligned Movement has placed the balance (and strength) I needed in my life! Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to group fitness classes at Aligned Movement for nearly 8 years. I love the studio space, the variety of classes which can be adapted to all levels of fitness and the instructors are very helpful, knowledgeable and fun! I would recommend to anyone.

Fantastic experience: Very professionally run, clean gym classes. Enjoyed the banter

Fantastic experience: The instructor, Ana, was awesome - super knowledgeable and helpful at correcting my form

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Aligned Movement since February and I love love love it!! My strength, mobility and flexibility is slowly returning after having a hip replacement last year. (I was in a bad way before the op) The team and other members are friendly and inviting and the small classes work perfectly. A couple of the instructors are passionate about rehabilitation as well, which is a bonus.

Fantastic experience: My experience at Aligned has been excellent! I’m in Kerikeri spending time with family and was able to take classes not only to keep up with my reformer and you practice but to also improve my skills. This studio is such a great find and the instructors are wonderful. I only wish there were more yoga classes on the schedule - some yin and myofascial massage classes would be a great addition.

Fantastic experience: Awesome classes, great instructors and fabulous variety of Pilates, Swiss ball, TRX, reformer etc.. after 2 weeks of Pilates my tennis improved so much friends thought I’d had tennis lessons!

Fantastic experience: Getting Very positive energy around and motivate to achieve your goals, best me time place.

Fantastic experience: Since starting in July I have not had any aches or pains in my hips or back. Thank you. Love all sessions that you offer. Wish I didn't have to go back to work so I could continue to come daily.

Fantastic experience: Alyssa and her team have created such a lovely, safe, supportive, and fun space.

Positive experience: Great experience, instructors always able do adapt classes to people attending. 4 stars to make sure you continue to find new ways to "entertain" us....and aim for the 5 stars ;-)

Fantastic experience: Fantastic studio. Caters for all levels and their knowledge is great. I have enjoyed my increased strength and mobility and the variety of courses they offer. Thanks Alyssa and the team, I will be back again tomorrow

Fantastic experience: The acceptance and empowerment I have felt as a member of Aligned Movement is unlike anything I ever expected! Every time I have a class I’m greeted warmly by the teachers, who are friendly and care deeply about all members. As my work requires a lot of physical mahi, I have noticed vast improvements since joining the studio and the children I care for even tell me to go so I can get big muscles! Couldn’t be happier with the experience I’m having here

Fantastic experience: I recommend Aligned Movement - I have experienced individually tailored support both in classes as well as in private sessions. The flexibility of online and in the studio is a bonus, as well as the range of different classes. A friendly and fun atmosphere makes me come back for more. Positive body image whatever age and stage we are at is supportive. Thanks Aligned Movement team

Fantastic experience: Encouraging environment with knowledgeable instructors.

Fantastic experience: Everyone was very friendly and it's a very nice space to work in. Personally I found there was an information "overload" but I do appreciate the need for clients to know what's available and how to get the services one wants. I've booked another class and I will take out a membership. Thanks. Good work.

Fantastic experience: I had fun in a new class I hadn't done before with a competent instructor, who had clearly read my form before the class to know my body niggles. That gave me confidence that the instructor was concerned to help people move safely and also conveyed a sense of care. As well, I can feel all the muscles I used in the class so I know that it worked!

Fantastic experience: I've attended 4 or 5 yoga classes so far and even though yoga is still a bit out of my comfort zone haha, the instructors are lovely and there is a nice community of clients at each group session. I've found the Vinyasa group sessions great and challenging, with no pressure to have perfect form, you can go it your own pace and try your best. Thanks for the help so far team :)

Fantastic experience: I really enjoy Sam's classes. Since she started at AM, I've seen her grow in confidence, maturity and professionalism. She is an assett to AM.

Fantastic experience: I have been with AM for three years. (Attended 600 classes). Because I enjoy going to the lovely bright clean studio with well trained staff it’s never been difficult to keep my exercise routine going. There is a variety of classes to keep exercise interesting.

Fantastic experience: I love attending Aligned Movement classes to increase my overall fitness levels. The workouts for each modality are challenging and fun. The instructors are very encouraging and supportive, helping us all to achieve the best we can.

Fantastic experience: Aligned movement is great. They help you with your exercise needs, while being very friendly and supportive.

Fantastic experience: Love this place just amazing a must try for anyone.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic environment for all-round fitness, whether you want to sweat, improve core and posture, or focus on body and mind. My fitness levels and flexibility have improved hugely in less than a year. A judgement-free, fun, friendly atmosphere... and the instructors are all fab.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Aligned Movement for ME! After having my three boys I needed to get some fitness level back up, and Aligned Movement suits me perfectly. A good variety of classes and times to choose from that suit my schedule. The instructors are awesome. They are always there with a smile, good instruction, they have a laugh with you and encourage you to just do the best for you.

Fantastic experience: I am so happy to have found Aligned Movement! After traveling around the world, going into different gyms and studios, I've come to appreciate a rare gem when I find it...and this studio is it! Alyssa and her team of instructors create a warm and welcoming enviroment, the space is beautiful and they have a wide range of different classes available. I've taken the Barre class, Yoga and Burlesque classes already and have loved them all. I look forward to taking more classes in the months to come!

Fantastic experience: I have loved checking out the different classes over the past two weeks. The teachers are all friendly and helpful and make sure you are doing the exercises correctly so you get maximum benefit and no injuries. They know their clients really well. The studio is a safe and friendly place to work out.

Fantastic experience: Thank you to the team at Aligned Movement for helping me overcome my rheumatoid arthritis and get moving again, it so nice to be able to bend my toes and straighten my arms again!

Fantastic experience: I love my time at Aligned Movement, I always feel supported and enjoy the judgement free space. Inclusivity is important, especially in small groups, I felt part of the AM family from the first day I walked in the door.

Fantastic experience: Awesome, a great friendly place to workout. Great variety of classes to choose from and results are amazing especially for core strength and flexible. highly recommend Alignment movement.

Fantastic experience: So pleased to have found Aligned Movement; what a motivating and relaxed place to exercise. I love being able to pick from a choice of classes, depending how I feel that week. I joined at the beginning of the year, with the aim to include exercise to help with my health (I have Lupus). I haven't been disappointed, and feel that this has really contributed to my wellness. If you've thought about it, but not got around to it, I would definitely recommend giving it a try. We are so lucky to have a studio like this in Kerikeri.

Fantastic experience: I live a busy life and every minute spent at Aligned Movement is time well spent! I now look forward to working out and have found a studio that I can connect, destress and push myself. I highly recommend the classes, the specialised instructors and this studio for anyone aiming to have a well balanced life.

Fantastic experience: This Boutique Studio offers a wide range of group classes, with great instructors. Their timetable is set to work with your own schedule and their membership modalities are created to satisfy your needs and budget. Aligned Movement's approach to fitness and general well-being is one of a kind. Starting with the understanding of your basic alignements and body mechanics, the instructors will give you the tools (theoretical and practical) to take care of yourself, not only during class, but in every aspect of your daily activities. Injuries or pre-existing conditions are taken into consideration when attending one of their fitness class/one-on-one training, and an alternative exercise will be given. I would recommend Alyssa Farrand's studio to anyone wanting to make of their physical health, the best it can be.

Fantastic experience: My husband and I attended a fabulous foam roller workshop with Asita and Alyssa at Aligned Movement. The difference in our stiffness and aching muscles was apparent almost instantly. We're hooked! Both ladies are extremely knowledgeable when comes to managing pain and injury. They are friendly, personable and genuinely passionate about ensuring your overall health and wellbeing. Having enjoyed a number of classes at the studio as well, I cannot recommend the team at Aligned Movement enough.

Fantastic experience: Love my weekly Aligned Movement fix. A gorgeous space for re-energising for the rest of my week. Our class is full of fun, vibrant women who work hard getting a dance routine ready each term while having plenty of laughs and of course a work out. Amazing how you can give five stars even when your body is sore from the workout it got! I will definitely be back regularly!

Fantastic experience: Once upon a time I was a bendy person and very strong. Over time, a love of good food, Sauvignon Blanc and general slothfulness has redefined my notion of 'strength' and 'bendy'. Early this year I made the effort to get stronger and bendier for my health, to feel better and as insurance against ageing too soon. Alyssa and the team are lovely, non-judgemental and very supportive of your goals. In particular, I appreciated how the focus is on your goals and situation. In some studios/gyms (I'm looking at you Auckland!) instructors are quite young and don't understand older joints and issues. Never did I ever feel pressured beyond my capabilities at Aligned Movement. SInce then I have had a health scare that involved an op on both knees. That insurance against ageing too soon thing? I credit my burgeoning pilates/studio practice with being able to recover quickly from a very painful situation. Thanks Alyssa, the team and Aligned Movement!

Fantastic experience: Great selection of fitness classes run by Aligned Movement in Kerikeri. Barre is a personal favourite. A fun and relaxed environment makes it enjoyable to work out
