Personal Training
Our certified trainers with Exercise Science degrees design individualized fitness plans using INBODY 570 data. Sessions focus on proper form correction, chronic condition adaptations, and progressive goal tracking through our proprietary accountability app. With 15+ years of combined experience, our team ensures measurable improvements in strength, endurance, and body composition.
Group Training
Limited to 12 participants, these sessions combine personalized attention with community motivation. Trainers modify exercises for varying fitness levels while maintaining technical precision. The program utilizes premium equipment like Jacobs Ladder and Cable Towers for functional strength development, with progress tracked through body composition scans and app-based activity monitoring.

The technology eliminates manual measurement errors through Direct Segmental Multi-Frequency BIA, offering precise data for customized nutrition plans and progress tracking. Two complimentary scans included with membership.

Six to twelve-week transformation challenges combine structured workouts with nutritional guidance. Participants receive regular progress assessments, accountability coaching, and community support. Success stories include 50+ lb weight losses and significant body fat reductions, documented through pre/post INBODY scans and circumference measurements.

Report
It had been a little over two months since I began my fitness journey at ALIO and it has already far exceeded my expectations! The facility is one of a kind, the workouts push you to the limit, yet the time flys by with the diversity of the program elements. You get the individualized attention with the small class sizes. The trainers are knowledgeable and personable. They are always there to help you achieve your fitness goals. Ive been to a gym or two and this one is highly recommend!
