Alomoves subscription

I am wondering if anyone subscribes to alomoves https://www.alomoves.com/

It looks like there is a lot of content. some practices look really nice others are way over my head.

What are your thoughts? Subscription seems a bit pricey but I am holding off on getting any subscriptions at the moment hoping some go on sale during black friday.

I don't subscribe, but own some of their programs from back when they were CodyApp with a different business model. I can say that the production quality of those programs is good, and I've never had technical troubles with the streaming and downloads.

I consider myself an intermediate exerciser, and almost everything I tried from AloMoves was quite challenging. Even workouts labelled beginner were too hard for me more often than not.

For instance, I tried Beginner Strength and True Strength Fundamentals by Dylan Werner and they didn't feel beginner. That man is a human pretzel. Modifications weren't offered. In one of the workouts he expected you to get into headstand. I also tried Complete Body by Ashley Galvin, which was marked as moderate/beginner. There were many things that were too difficult. I have been able to complete all the workouts in Ultimate Yogi, so it's not like I'm a yogi beginner.

I did complete Pilates Slimdown 1 & 2 but it wasn't particularly enjoyable. I was also interested in Barre Tone but couldn't click with the instructor.

IMO it's a great deal at $20/mo for all the content you get, including the structured programs. That's about average for most streaming subscriptions these days.

I just prefer to do workouts that I feel are tough but do-able, and I didn't feel that for the series I was interested in. I really wanted to do Complete Body I and II and then follow up with BodyStrong, but that was just not happening.

I really enjoy alo moves. I get the yearly subscription because I use it quite a lot. Dylan and Ashley can be more flexible but there is so..... much to choose from. I am an intermediate but not really high. On this site I usually do beginner, moderate, or int.
Alo Moves has a lot of content and add new courses frequently. Now they have added courses for teachers.
Some of the courses that I like:

Caley Alyssa: (She is also on Udaya)
360 Sculpt (A lot of balance but nice instruction)
Pure Energy
Yoga Plyo Boost
Fusion 20

Briohny Smyth: Any Beginner, Moderate, Int
Beginner Power Vinyasa
Fluid Flexibility
Power Vinyasa
Yoga Break
Aligned Asana: For teachers to learn how to instruct but really informative

Dylan Werner:
Beginner Flexibility
Art of Assists : For teachers but informative
Some of the drills in FlyStrong and Quest For the Press
I pick and choose from his classes as he has really good drills and fascial movement

Patrick Beach:
Float Lab: I just do the drills without going into inversions
Healthy Hips and Hamstrings: Love Patrick and Carling
Lots of people liked Patrick and Carling in Journey to Handstand

Daniel Scott: (Also on Udaya)
Has some really nice beginner/moderate classes

Kayla Nielsen is a bit harder but the moves really flow well.

Talia Sutra: Great instruction but I just do her warmups and a few classes
Hiro Landazuri, Elvis Garcia, Gurmukh Kaur Khalsa (Kundalini)

See.... I told you I use the site a lot
