Personalised Fitness Coaching in Richmond, Nelson
A Different Approach to Fitness Where Every Member Has a Coach
Whether you're returning to exercise, recovering from injury, managing a health condition, or simply wanting to stay active as you age, we're here to help.
Through personalised coaching, tailored exercise programmes, and ongoing support, we help people build strength, move with confidence, and improve their long-term health.
Why Coach-Led Exercise Works
Most gyms provide access to equipment and expect you to work the rest out yourself.
At Align, your coach creates a personalised exercise programme, monitors your progress, and helps you stay on track.
Our approach focuses on:
-
Guidance over guesswork
-
Structure over self-navigation
-
Consistency over intensity
-
Long-term progress over quick fixes

Frequently Asked Questions
Where is Align based?
Align Functional Fitness is based in Richmond, Nelson, supporting local members with personalised, coach-led exercise programmes.
Do I need to be fit before I start?
Not at all. Many of our members have never been to a gym before or are returning to exercise after years away. Just come as you are, and we'll meet you there.
Is Align a gym?
Not in the traditional sense. We are a coach-led exercise facility where every member is paired with a coach from day one and receives ongoing personalised support.
Is this suitable for older adults?
Yes, many members came to Align to maintain strength, mobility, confidence and independence as they age. And every programme is adapted to the individual.
Can you help with injuries or health conditions?
Yes. Many members come to us looking for guidance, confidence, and a safe approach to exercise. And we work closely alongside our Integrated Partners of Physiotherapy and Clinical Exercise Physiology.
Is Align only for people with health conditions or physical disabilities?
Not at all. While we have strong experience in clinical and adaptive exercise, many of our clients are simply looking for a safe, smart, and effective way to stay active without the overwhelm of a big-box gym.
