Alo Moves Reviews

by Ellen527

There are a couple very skilled teachers on AloMoves who deliver very well thought out classes, however they are far and few between. I’m extra critical because I am a physical therapist. AloMoves needs more options to filter by, it’s hard to find a class I want to do. There’s also a glitch when I am scrolling through classes where the list constantly reloads way back up towards the top, super annoying and seems like something that could be fixed. When I apply a time filter the classes that show up do not fit the filter. I do not like how Alo normalizes hyper mobility. And when did ballistic stretching become a thing again? People will be injuring themselves if they don’t know how to modify.

Alo moves is one of my favourite subscriptions in terms of content. It is really fantastic but the quality of the apps is not great.

There’s constant flickering of the screen when you go into a series to check it out and come back to the previous screen with the content not being in the place where it was. This is very disorienting when you’re trying to find new series to add to your practice.

The iPad app seems to be just a blown out version of the iPhone app that doesn’t really take advantage of the bigger screen. It therefore has the same issues as the iPhone.

The Apple TV app doesn’t even allow you to perform a search and most of the series’ sections are empty. Also, when a video finishes on the Apple TV, the screen remains black instead of automatically take you to the screen where the video is played. I find this very odd. The Apple TV also does not signal which classes you’ve already done. This is something the iPhone does.

For some reason, the calendar on your profile does not get populated with the workouts you’ve done automatically. This seems rather odd considering that the information is already there in their servers and the user can select the privacy level within the community.

Again, great content but the apps really need some substantial amount of work.

It also wouldn’t be a terrible idea to add social median links to the instructor profiles.

I love all the classes, but using AloMoves on my iOS phone and Apple TV is frustrating. It’s very difficult to navigate on Apple TV and there is no home page view like on the website, I enjoy seeing the recommended sessions. When viewing on my phone the lists bounce around and change order constantly. The search should be for everything, not just series and community, I often search for a one off class. I would also like a better way of tracking my history, on my computer it shows a check next to the classes I have taken in my current series, but the Apple TV doesn’t show anything. I’m new to Alo Moves, but these are my initial observations.

I started trying AloMoves a week ago and I really like the exercises however I found that some things don’t work quite well on AloMoves :
- the filter function is very basic. I wanted to search all the beginner programs and they don’t have a way to do so even though they categorize the programs on beginner, intermediate, etc
- when you add a program to your practice it doesn’t keep track of the classes you have done (marking them as completed) so you have to remember which one was the last one you did... I did the same class twice today because of this
- the play / pause button is weird... I have a 4 yo that sometimes interrupts me and I usually press pause but in some cases the video started again from the beginning
Otherwise I’m liking the videos and I feel they are challenging so I will keep using it. I also like that it has meditation (last year I was paying for exercise and meditation apps separately).

I agree with everyone who has said the classes are great but AloMoves needs some work. If I want to stream from AloMoves it’s fine but I can’t get it to cast to my chromecast. They also haven’t updated AloMoves to include playlists and the videos I save or complete on my computer don’t sync to app. I know it’s a work in progress so looking forward to when everything works seamlessly.

Update: the playlists still aren’t on AloMoves but the saved classes do sync now so that’s nice! I really wish there were ratings attached to classes because sometimes I get really overwhelmed and waste a lot of time picking which class so try.

Best yoga app out there. The classes are outstanding. But the platform needs work as it’s only available on portable screen devices. An HDMI/Lightening Adapter is needed to watch it on a TV. Airplay capabilities aren’t available. Roku /fire stick/smart tvs are not compatible. Apple TV devices 5 and older are the only supported tv’s. But an HDMI adapter gets the job done.
I wouldn’t recommend AloMoves if you don’t have an adapter because it’s really not worth it to watch on an iPhone the classes are terrific as all the instructors just can’t really utilize and move w full functionality if you have to stare at a tiny screen

I love AloMoves and have been using almost daily for months. There’s a few area for improvement though; I wish each class had its own difficulty level instead of just for the whole series because each class can vary greatly in difficulty level. Also it would be VERY helpful if the description listed equipments needed (e.g. yoga blocks, straps, etc). I also wish there was a way to see how many times I’ve done a class or when is the last time I did a class. This is useful because I tend to repeat a number of classes and it would be nice to know when I last repeated a class. There’s no way to see a list of classes you did in chronological order, you have to click on each date on the calendar to do that. I think it’d be useful to have a list rather than a calendar also.

Love AloMoves , love the variety, love the workouts...but as other have said, it needs more organization or a better way to search. There is a filter on the classes but it is limited the instructor & type of class (barre, meditation, vinyasa). A few added filters would be a huge help like length of class, level & intensity, especially for those of us new to yoga type classes. And there is no way to make suggestions or contact them through AloMoves , the provide only a physical mailing address. So making the suggestion through my rating (I personally think that’s poor customer service).

I love alo moves! Yoga/meditation were always on the peripheries of my mind, but I never fully embraced them. I picked up alo moves because I was interested in the 21 Days yoga series by Briohny Smith (found out via Instagram). Honestly I’ve been in AloMoves almost every day since. And, I’m so happy to be practicing every day because of genuine interest and feeling supported by the instructors in the classes I’ve taken. It’s amazing how they can do that even though I’ve never taken a class with any of them in person!

The reason for my 4 star rather than 5 is because of 1) a recent app upgrade they’ve made where they redesigned the home page and I miss the large hero images that pointed out new classes and 2) Wish there the community feature had more to it.

I accidentally paid for the whole year after a free trial, and I’m SO happy I did. The instructors and videos are some of the best yoga practices I’ve ever done, some even better than years of live classes. However, AloMoves is absolutely packed with videos and needs much more organization. It’s very difficult to search for specific things and the whole app just feels bloated and hard to navigate. I would like to see some updates that make it more searchable, easier to find new practices, ways to stay updated to on your favorite instructors, and I would like some practice sections divided up by how much time you have to practice. All these features are already there! They’re just kind of hidden and hard to access

Alo has put together an AMAZING collection of videos for all kinds of practices at all levels and intensities. I use this multiple times a day to get my workouts in, recover, and even meditate to bring it all to a close.
Unfortunately, the filter function isn’t great when exploring classes as it doesn’t always respect the time stamps or the style. The video and audio quality are great, but the pause/play function doesn’t alternate automatically and you have to toggle each time (very annoying when taking a skill class and you need to rewatch).

Also, in the most recent update AloMoves keeps crashing when some series are tapped on (this happens to me for the Power Barre series every time).

There are so many classes for yogis of all skill levels. I love the emphasis on skills like arm balances and handstands. AloMoves has amazing content, but it's really hard to find what you're looking for. The classes destination gives you thousands of classes without an accessible tool to produce meaningful results. The difference between series and playlists isn't clear enough. The series / programs should have a way to measure progress, not just act as a playlist for videos. There's a missed opportunity here to guide students through a structured program. App is finicky and I find many flows to be not intuitive. If the team can figure out how to add more robust search and recommendations then AloMoves would be great.

by Marikoyang

I love the workouts on here and how often they're updated – it really does feel more like a studio experience than your typical workout app. However, AloMoves interface does feel a little clunky. I can't immediately pause a video by touching the center of the screen, and it often instead sends my video ahead or back. Also, it would be great to have the radio interface better integrated into the controls, rather than having to click until it shows up in the upper right hand corner. Otherwise, have had a great experience so far!

I tried AloMoves on a whim because I had heard it was the best yoga app out there and I was missing my in person yoga classes. I am so glad I did. I have been using for about 6 weeks now and it has really helped me amp up my yoga practice. I have been an avid yogi for years but my practice was stale because the classes at my gym, while enjoyable, are too repetitive and do not push me in new directions. Getting more of a challenge and having many different types of yoga classes available has gotten me more excited about yoga again. I can already see improvements in my strength - I had been working handstands for over a year on my own but I’ve progressed immensely in the last month through more focus and quality training. I will definitely be keeping my subscription even when the gym reopens.

Love AloMoves so much they have so many different series and classes covering every genre of yoga. They have Pilates strength training and guided meditations. The classes are all downloadable so u can take your phone on a hike with you where u don’t have service and get your gratitude on. You can customize a workout with their unique method of stacking classes like adding a 10 minute morning flow with a 5 minute booty burn. The settings are serine with some exceptionally beautiful locations and instructors that make you smile. Shout out to tawny and Jacy my personal favs! 🙏🏽❤️ Thanks ALO!

I am an advanced lifter type dude (from CrossFit, to cage fighting, owning a gym, etc etc) and had a lot of heavy knot type soft tissue type injuries and wanted to completely ease off the weights until I was 100%. This has been helping immensely as it’s all the little muscles that weren’t getting worked that allowed those knots to form in the first place.

If your goal is something like mine, don’t forget about massages, foam rolling, PT, etc. but utilize this. For reference I’m doing daily yoga on AloMoves, then Dylan’s fascia stretching, then some strength work on AloMoves if I feel up to it (body weight stuff).

Well filmed, nice locations, easy to understand, great instructors. I wish there were more filters (time, length, difficulty). The videos are grouped by instructor and have these “series” which you can do. Personally I do yoga for working out so I wish there were more “studio” like experiences that were 1hour long or LIVE classes. I don’t like having to string together a bunch of 20 min workouts. They don’t put out a lot of new content. I will prob switch to something that has more new content / live workouts once this runs out to fit my workout style but I love AloMoves so hopefully they will try to follow suite to how other apps are changing with covid.

by Candid Lola

I’ve been doing this for 12 weeks and it’s been truly transformative. Even on days where I don’t feel like I have time to workout, I can always carve off 10 or 20 minutes for a class and be shaking and dripping in sweat after. The range in classes—length wise, target areas, and level of difficulty—is exceptional. Love the instructors. Love the creativity and energy. Love how I feel now that I’ve incorporated yoga workouts when I don’t have 2+ hours to go to a studio or do a conventional yoga class (though AloMoves has those too). Also love incorporating sound baths and meditation journeys to my routine. Honestly cannot day enough good things.

I had seen ads for Alo Moves for years. I was always mesmerized by the abilities of the instructors, moving through the space with ease. I was skeptical though. I wasn’t sure the classes would be accessible for a beginner/intermediate student and I figured it was pricey. I was too curious though and I clicked through. Come to find out it’s quite affordable, muchhh cheaper than most gyms, and there are plenty of classes for all skill types! I have been doing some intermediate foundation building classes for less than two weeks now and I already feel much more flexibility and definitely a lot more strength! I can already tell some of the fun, “inaccessible” poses I’ve always wanted to achieve are right around the corner for me! I love AloMoves and I would recommend it to anyone!!

by Cnnthusiast

The 30 day core challenge is really making me feel more confident and empowered ti resume and power start my fitness journey. After 1.5 years of not getting much exercise due to covid restrictions, this challenge is giving the core strength I know is important to any fitness journey. Kupah and Calvin rock!

I wish AloMoves was a bit better about reminding you which classes you have already completed in the circuit. The black checkmarks sometimes come and go when AloMoves is launched. Sometimes they are indicated in the series list and sometimes I have to click into the class to see if it has a check mark.

by Isaacnc

I’ve tried a lot of fitness apps and this one is by far the best. Most others have really cheesy content where the instructors are trying too hard to be authentic and it doesn’t feel right. Alo Moves has genuinely authentic instructors that aren’t forced in my experience. The workouts are top notch and the video quality is impressive. I’m looking forward to seeing updates that make AloMoves experience a bit smoother, but it’s already good enough to enjoy.

by Xgdshigfjf

my naturopathic doc recommended AloMoves to help strengthen my knees and hips. it has mad a world of difference in eradicating chronic pain in my body! my absolute favvvv series is Kayla N. “Discover Your Splits” i’m making so much new room in my body and the strength i’ve gained from 10-15 mins a day is unmatched. only on day 18! not to mention how affordable ?! Access so to much amazing content for such an affordable price makes it that much better

by Jennymac79

AloMoves has been an incredible learning tool and has provided me with so much inspiration, information and incredible challenges in my practice. I live in a somewhat rural area and normally wouldn’t have access to the range of classes and instructors offered on this app. It is a Lifesaver during quarantine and is diversifying my practice. It is also enhancing my education as I make my way through CYT200. Thanks

After the start of the pandemic, the yoga studio I went to had to suspend classes. About a month or two after they announced that they had to officially close their doors which was super sad because they were a really great studio! I found AloMoves on an ad on Instagram and decided to try it out and I love it so far! I’m still new to yoga but find the classes very informative and relaxing. It almost does feel like i am in a real class.

by Elle_2x

Not really a yogi but I needed something extra and to help with de-bulking muscles from HIIT over the last 5 years. Glad I found the FB add—first week and the classes have been great so far. Great instructors and motivating to see some seriously toned and strong bodies. Reason for 4 stars is I use the Apple TV app a lot for this, and it doesn’t sync up my practice in real time, the Apple TV app’s filters are also non-functional making it harder to navigate. Other than that, this is a very professional presentation of yoga with top notch instructors.

by KLillie23

This is the best yoga app. I have recommended it to all of my friends who do yoga. I love that there are so many different teachers and styles. You can save the classes you like to “your practice.” If you don’t particularly like a class, you just don’t save or do it again. My favorite teacher is Ashley Galvin. While some teachers seem focused on how they look, Ashley truly focuses on the yoga. She provides clear directions that are so easy to follow. AloMoves has had a significant positive impact on my yoga practice.

by ALD075

I’ve been searching a while for a yoga app to help build and continue my practice.... and this is the only one I’ve found worth it. The instructors are top notch, there are no shortages of classes, and AloMoves itself is very easy to use. I was worried at first that there would be a disconnect between classes in a studio and classes on AloMoves , but I was very wrong - it feels like you’re right in the room. If you’re looking for an easy and effortless way to challenge your practice, this is AloMoves for you!

by Good-lafs

I searched online for the top yoga apps but Alo Moves was not list. Not sure why but of all the yoga classes I researched, this one offers the most diverse set of yoga styles, with skill builders, various series, levels and so on. The yoga environments and sound quality is excellent unlike other online classes offered. There are instructors that fit each yoga style and are very professional. I haven’t experienced any glitches with AloMoves as I use my phone and sometimes my laptop. I absolutely recommend Alo Moves above all else.

by Allisonmeridith

I can’t believe how much content is on this site! I can find everything from a workout that is so hard I can barely do it to the most relaxing restorative poses, sound baths and meditations when that’s what I need. The depth and breadth of the yoga training alone is impressive too. The instructors have incredible knowledge and talent. And I love being able to download content to take with me to the beach or wherever I go.
