Empowering women through inclusive fitness and community

Aliento – Scoresby

A gentler approach to fitness, with powerful results, Aliento isn’t your typical gym. A place for women to feel strong, supported, and seen at every stage of their health journey. 


A journey fueled by passion

Aliento began its journey in 2010 with Shapemaster powered Pilate exercise equipment, laying the foundation for a new approach to health and wellbeing. In 2024, the vision was reimagined by Ruma Nahar, a former finance professional who migrated from Bangladesh 18 years ago. Leaving behind a secure government job, Ruma chose to follow her heart and dedicate herself to empowering women in a more meaningful way. Driven by her own experiences and a deep understanding of the challenges many women face, Ruma set out to create a space that nurtures the body, mind, and spirit.

Disillusioned by one-size-fits-all fitness programs and the often-overwhelming atmosphere of traditional gyms, she was determined to offer something different, something supportive, welcoming, and truly transformative.

Fitness designed for every woman 

From day one, Aliento has focused on inclusive, low-impact exercise programs that are gentle on the joints and suitable for all fitness levels. Whether you’re just starting out or have years of experience, you’ll find classes that help you build strength, improve flexibility, and boost your energy in a safe and supportive environment. 

 

Support and supervision you can trust 

Every session at Aliento is guided by experienced professionals who provide expert supervision and personalised support. It’s a place where your wellbeing comes first, where you can focus on moving your body with confidence and care. 

 



More than a workout

What truly sets Aliento apart is the strong sense of community that extends far beyond fitness. It’s a space where women come not just to move their bodies, but to connect, with each other, with themselves, and with a shared spirit of support. At Aliento, friendships are formed, stories are shared, and laughter fills the room. There’s no pressure, no competition, only genuine encouragement and a welcoming, judgment-free environment. For the past 15 years, Aliento has proudly partnered with the Knox Community Christmas Support project through the Share the Joy initiative. Each holiday season, we come together to give back, spreading kindness and connection to those who need it most.


Your health, your way 

Whether your goal is to improve your strength, move more freely, or simply find a moment of calm in your busy life, Aliento is here to support your journey. It’s fitness that fits around you, your pace, your goals, your way.
