Over my 20 years as a health writer and editor, I have been deeply involved in all areas of health, wellness and fitness. I’ve tried all the fad diets, exercise regimens, and everything else. No complaints here, I love trying this thing. There were many failures and few great victories. I hate fad diets, but I love intermittent fasting. Crossfit wasn’t for me, but high-intensity interval training (HIIT) was definitely my specialty. Yoga, Pilates, dancing and swimming are my absolute favorites and I would never imagine my life without them.
When fitness apps hit the market, I tried every free and non-free download available. Virtual personal trainers everywhere you go? Yes please! I quickly learned that apps that focused on one area, like Pilates, barre, or cardio, weren’t for me. You need variety to stay on track with your workouts. Then I found movement of alo.

Alo Moves is an all-in-one fitness app that offers multiple exercise disciplines including yoga, pilates, HIIT, weight training, dance, and cardio. What I especially like is that the personal his trainers that appear in each workout video represent different backgrounds, ages (20’s to his 70’s!), cultures, body types and personalities. . Not only will you find the workouts you want, but you will find instructors who are like you, who are your age, who inspire you, who have a personality you can relate to, and who have the energy to keep coming back. Imagine being Music is also incredibly motivating (think: Taylor Swift “Shake It Off”) You can also adjust the sound according to the instructor so you hear just the instructor, just the music, or the perfect combination of both.
One of my favorite app features, and one that sets it apart from many others, is its approach to workout series. Called the series, it is a multitude of workout videos that builds itself and allows you to create weekly workout plans to challenge yourself and level up. They are launching a new running series and I can’t wait to try them out.
