Align Functional Fitness is a coach-led exercise studio in Richmond, offering personalised, structured programmes rather than open gym-floor sessions. The team includes personal trainers, rehabilitation coaches, exercise oncology instructors, physiotherapists and clinical exercise physiologists, working with people managing injury, chronic conditions or returning to exercise after time away. Memberships run at one, two or three sessions per week, typically costing $60-$100+ weekly, with programmes adjusted as clients progress.
I would not consider myself a 'gym' person and have always felt really uncomfortable in that environment. Align made me feel welcome and at home from the very first encounter - the free introduction and assessment. My trainer, Kate, has been both challenging and patient, as we have worked around various limitations. Her encouragement as I've achieved even small training milestones has been of huge value to me. I've also really appreciated the flexibility around payment and banking missed sessions when I have had health issues that required a longer break. This is the first time that I have felt like I've been making positive progress towards my health goals, despite illness. I would highly recommend Align to anybody, but especially to someone trying to balance a desire for greater strength and functionality with other health issues.

Had a super positive experience at Align. Staff were super nice and professional when I walked in. There was a heater right next to the waiting seats that was soooo good. Caitlin was amazing and incredibly helpful. I feel super positive and optimistic after my appointment with her. She was super super kind and really smart.

I feel like I need more stars. I found Align through word of mouth. It was pitched pretty highly, so I’ll admit to being skeptical - surely too good to be true. BUT It really is “all that”. I am, frankly, fat and very unfit, and yet, here I am, not hiding my body, in a gym. Here I am, learning how to use the machines, properly. Here I am, gently coached to try three more reps. Here I am, confident and comfortable, telling anyone who cares that Align is not like any gym you’ve ever been to, and that you should go check it out.

I can’t recommend Laura and Align Fitness enough. Since dealing with my prolapse, getting back into exercise felt really overwhelming, but Laura has been incredibly supportive, knowledgeable, and encouraging every step of the way. Thanks to her guidance, I’ve not only lost weight but also become so much stronger and more confident in my body again. Every workout is adapted carefully to make sure I feel safe while still making progress. The environment at Align Fitness is welcoming, positive, and judgment-free, which has made such a difference in my recovery and overall wellbeing. I’m so grateful for the support and expertise Laura provides — it’s truly changed my life for the better.

Align easily gets 5 stars from me. I have been a client for 9 months or so now. Their staff are both professional and friendly. The environment they create is extremely supportive and positive. I look forward to my visits. My exercise programmes have worked wonders for my health and energy levels. A particular shout out for my trainer Jono.
