Aligned for Life Pilates reviews
21 Absolutley love Aligned for Life Pilates in the Melbourne CBD. Have been going them since 2018.
CBD Chief Instructor and Studio Manager is also a lecturer at the National Academy of Pilates. Ben Rashleigh is brilliant.
Ben also lecturers uni students in Anatomy and provides pilates treatment and training to a Melbourne Soccer team. He learnt his craft while also recovering from/being treated for his own injury.
Ben was a Three Star Chef who, at one stage, had to wear a backbrace before Pilates. Then decided to change careers and only cooks for pleasure now. This experience shows in the way he changes up the lessons to address exactly how the clients body is presenting. Often seeing things in our movement that we haven't realised / noticed yet.
The studio is fantastic and has a great vibe and my online lessons when traveling intra or interstate are great, always helping to improve my mobility.
They also have great equipment that I have got for doing home workouts and online lessons. The equipment that you can get for home (well priced/good quality) replicates some of the studio equipment.
They are very good at integrated (holistic) health solutions - my Melbourne City Chiropractor talks to Ben about my needs and tweaks treatment accordingly and likewise, Ben with my myotherapist/physio and while I was recovering from an injury, my fitness trainer. Really really impressive. Solution orientated for their clients.
Aligned for life Pilates is fantastic. I highly recommend them. Go to the people who train the other instructors.
I have been attending sessions at the Melbourne CBD studio for more than 5 years now. Having been to a number of other pilates and allied health professionals, aligning myself with Ben Rashleigh has proven to be one of the best health decisions of my lifetime. I couldn't he happier with my progress.
The instructors are professional, they undergo extensive training and study, and their wealth of knowledge is incomparable.
You'd be hard pressed to find a better studio, especially if you're after pilates for rehabilitation.
Love the relaxed and supportive atmosphere, and the instructors/therapists/body coaches are top notch. Do your body a favour, and get along.
I’m a client of nearly 20 years and kath, Katrina and the team are what holds my body together! I couldn’t do without them. Always pushing me to be better, stronger and longer.
Wonderful wonderful studio in Melbourne, great teachers highly educated, they have high quality personalised pilates sessions. Leaders in the Australian Pilates field.
I’ve been attending lessons at Aligned for Life Carlton for over 12 months and can’t speak highly enough of Chantel and her team. All the teachers are highly skilled, competent and they have a fantastic depth of knowledge of the Pilates method and human body mechanics. I started attending as an injury-free client for general health, strength and well-being purposes. After sustaining a shoulder injury and also recently receiving a diagnosis of significant osteoarthritis in both hips, Chantel created a program to address both issues. My shoulder has been rehabilitated from not being able to lift my arm, to full mobility. I’ve also got an ongoing plan for maximum hip health and mobility. There are a variety of class options to suit budget and preferences - small studio groups of 4 people max, duets and private lessons - all of which are great. The studio is easy to access - from the city catch any tram heading towards Melbourne Uni and hop off at the Melb Uni stop and it’s a short walk from there (2 mins). There is plenty of street parking in the area, plus two parking buildings nearby.
Great studio and staff, knowledgeable instructors, groups are small so instruction is very personalized. Mat class is great! Small group and fun.
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.
A beautiful large, well equipped and open space, with highly skilled and personal instructors that give you all the feelings and service of a tailored, boutique studio.
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 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!
Wonderful environment & knowledgeable instructors. This place is one of the best Pilates studios in the CBD. Their mat Pilates is challenging but fun. I thoroughly enjoy Thea and Kishore’s classes.
Highly recommend to everyone who works in the area who wants to do lunch mat pilates.
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.
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.
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.
Been coming here for years. Amazing instructors. Have done many fantastic sessions sessions with Ben, Chantel, Katrina, Lara and Minh as well as many great student instructors.
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!
I love the ambience of this studio. The variety of equipment always allowed for a dynamic training session and my goals were always acknowledged & taken into consideration when my instructor programmed for my body. I always refer people to Aligned for Life knowing they will have just as great of an experience!
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.
Amazing work done here at aligned for life
Since starting my session I’ve found a passion for the way pilates connects & recruits multiple muscle groups to get the most out of your body.
Highly recommend.
