6 Tips for Using Alo Moves at the Gym
Alo Moves isn’t just for home workouts. Whether you’re at your local gym, a hotel, or the campus rec center, our on-demand app is the perfect way to get an expert-led class wherever you are. We’ve gathered a few ideas for how you can use Alo Moves when you’re out and about.

Warm up with dynamic mobility.
Pre-workout mobility is key for preventing injury and restoring or improving your functional movement. Before you take on your workout at the gym, do a quick warm-up in an open space with a class from the Mobility category on Alo Moves.
2. Try a bodyweight cardio class.
Machines all full? If it seems to be Cardio Day for everyone at the gym or you’re tired of the same old routine, step it up with a HIIT workout. We also have an apartment-friendly workout playlist that’s perfect for getting in a *quieter* sweat at the hotel, dorm room, or after hours. If your gym offers a track or you do have access to a treadmill, you can try one of our Running or Walking workouts.
3. Try a structured GYM strength program.
If you’re new to strength training or are looking for a solid program you can follow to see real, consistent results, try one of our guided strength programs that are designed specifically for the gym. Our 4-Week Strength Starter with Roxie Jones is perfect for beginners, and our 8-Week Burn & Build with Gio Merlino is great if you have previous experience with lifting.
4. Try a workout you can’t get at the gym.
If you’re craving the atmosphere and community of the gym but aren’t quite feeling the machines for the day, you can try one of the many other styles offered, such as Dance, Sculpt, Yoga, Pilates, Barre, or Core classes.
5. Rope in your friends OR FAMILY for a partner workout.
We love a good solo strength sesh, but you can’t beat a fun and fiery partner workout. Hit the mat with a friend and a 5-minute core workout on Alo Moves to cap off the end of your gym session.
6. Don’t forget post-workout recovery.
Recovery is just as important as the workout itself. Make sure you’re sustaining healthy habits out of the gym with classes for nutrition, post-workout stretches, meditations for sleep and stress relief, and self-care rituals to decompress from the day.
