Fantastic experience: Amovida is a fantastic friendly boutique fitness centre in East Horsley. Owners Aly and Grant are both highly experienced trainers and every PT session is different and tailored to your individual goals . I have been a member since it opened and absolutely love the bright spacious well equipped space. Before joining I had never used a Viper or TRX both of which are great for fitness at any age!

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Amovida for over a year now for weekly personal training sessions. Grant does an excellent job of tailoring the sessions to my personal objectives/requirements. Thoroughly recommended!!

Fantastic experience: As someone who dislikes big and hectic gyms Amovida is a unique and wonderful find! Ally and Grant have created a beautiful, clean and modern space and with their expertise I've found the classes really enjoyable and can be tailored to the level you need. I particularly like having a choice of classes and the friendly atmosphere they have created. Great place!

Fantastic experience: Amovida is a lively, welcoming, friendly personal fitness centre housed in excellent premises in East Horsley with all the kit and a group of professional trainers in different disciplines who take classes or offer one to ones along with the owners, Ally and Grant. If you want to stretch or get stronger there is no better locally available option.

Fantastic experience: A lovely, welcoming place for both small classes and personal training. Ally and Grant have made Amovida somewhere comfortable to be no matter what your age, shape or fitness level.

Fantastic experience: I recently joined Amovida. Everyone has been so welcoming and friendly. There is a really good selection of classes to choose from and the instructors take you through every move really clearly so even as a beginner you don’t feel out of your depth.

Fantastic experience: Small group exercise classes in intimate surroundings. Classes delivered by knowledgeable and understanding instructors.

Fantastic experience: I really enjoy this gym. Classes are small, friendly and great fun. There’s a wide variety to choose from and Ally and Grant are very approachable and cater for all levels of experience and ability. It’s also great that it’s so local, so it’s easy to turn up, complete a workout and get on with the day feeling energised and mentally and physically healthier.

Fantastic experience: I have 2 half hour personal training sessions a week with Grant Taylor at Amovida and his targeted exercise programs have significantly improved the flexibility of my joints and muscle tone to the benefit of my tennis, golf and cycling activities. Grant always varies the exercises so I never get bored and his ever cheerful and encouraging chat means that I really look forward to our sessions. He’s also very accommodating if I have to change the time of appointments so,all in all , I’m very pleased that I chose Amovida . Peter Jevans

Fantastic experience: I can highly recommend Movewell Fitness if you’re looking for knowledgeable and experienced instructors, who love what they do. If you have injuries or are just looking for specific training needs to be met, they go over and above. They have a broad range of classes with small sizes so it feels personal. Training is fun and it’s also a nice group of people who train there

Fantastic experience: Grant and Ally virtually saved my life, through, multiple surgeries and accidents - they have rebuilt me confidence, strength, and mobility - they get a 5 Star review from me

Fantastic experience: Such a gorgeous fitness studio with a range of classes. I highly recommend checking it out. I was also impressed with the cleanliness of the studio.

Fantastic experience: I started classes at Amovida over 6 mths ago. The classes are small and very welcoming and the flexibility around booking them really works for me. After ever session I feel more energised and a little fitter. Ally and Grant are great instructors and coaches and give all the encouragement you need for all levels of ability. I would highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love this place. The classes are original and challenging and fun. And a great variety too. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I joined Amovida about three months ago and started having weekly 1 to 1 sessions with Grant. He tailored a program of sessions to meet my objectives of improving flexibility and strength. Each session is different. Recently I have increased my sessions to two a week which helped much more. Grant’s enthusiasm, interest in helping me improve as well as his tremendous technical knowledge has been really helpful and motivating. When your health and condition of your body plays a significant factor in your happiness it has to be one of the best investments anyone can make for themselves. The sooner you start the quicker the benefits and happier you will be. Grant had really accelerated my progress and I have noticed numerous improvements in my life. Thank you Grant. BW Nik

Fantastic experience: Amovida is an excellent gym, I live locally and I go every week. Ally and Grant are lovely instructors and the classes are very welcoming. Great exercise too. Thanks Amovida!

Fantastic experience: There is no better way to end the week than Amovida’s Yin class. Debbie is a super and inclusive teacher, catering to all levels so no need to feel intimidated if you are new to yoga. Such a lovely way to unwind at the end of a busy week

Fantastic experience: If you're looking for a fitness studio that caters for real people, doing real life, then look no further. Amovida offers expert guided classes and PT, to all abilities and ages, to help you love life again!

Fantastic experience: Update: Ally & Grant have opened their own studio since start of 2024 and it’s a welcoming environment. I’ve now upped my training to include weights, and whilst I really hated it at first (cue: lazy), it’s now a firm weekly favourite. Still a 5 ⭐️. Despite understanding the benefits of physical activity, I dislike exercising and cannot be motivated to do anything on my own. By chance I found Ally and that she is located near me. One year on, it’s been a rewarding experience. Ally’s sessions are fun with plenty of brain teasers as I get bored easily. No 2 classes are the same. I can see myself getting stronger and more agile as a result, and also am kinder to myself for taking care of me. So if you’re lazy (like me), look up Ally and let her help you!

Fantastic experience: Amovida has been a brilliant find for me: locally in the village and with such a warm welcoming almost “family” atmosphere has been lovely to experience and the class variation is great, and the small dedicated class numbers even better! Thankyou for showing up in East Horsley Amovida!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been attending classes at Amovida for a few months now and I’m feeling fitter, stronger and energised. Ally and Grant are both fantastic instructors and have created a welcoming studio which caters to all fitness levels. If you're looking for a place to work out that's inclusive, fun, and challenging, I highly recommend checking out Amovida!

Fantastic experience: All these great reviews tell you something. I was sceptical about taking on a personal trainer, I had an image of it which didn’t seem me. But after major knee surgery I gave it a go and I’m glad I did. Grant is great, highly professional in tailoring a varied programme that’s right for me and it’s working. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Amovida is a brilliant fitness studio run by Aly and Grant with professionalism, enthusiasm andfun. Whether it’s group classes , one-to-one or small groups I have never been to a class I didn’t enjoy. Have been a member since they opened last year and cannot recommend them highly enough. The membership packages are flexible and you can pick and choose classes on a week basis. They offer free trial classes I think too so give them a go.

Fantastic experience: I have been training with Ally now for 10 months. It all followed a kayaking incident after which I needed shoulder surgery with many months of recovery. My physio referred me to Ally after she had done as much as she could. Ally was recommended because of her extensive knowledge of post-operative recovery, and her highly tailored sessions. They have proved invaluable to me, with every session prepared based on the results of previous sessions and my goals. No two sessions are ever the same and they are (mostly!) enjoyable. I set her an initial goal of "I know I can't move much but in 4 months I want to go snowboarding again". I did, and it was better than I thought possible. The next goal was "I want to go kayaking again", and I have been. My overall fitness is much improved, and I hope we will continue to rebuild me. So thank you Ally. If anyone needs anything more than just routine exercise, I really recommend having a chat with Ally or Grant to see what they can do for you.

Fantastic experience: 5 stars for Movewell Fitness!

Fantastic experience: Ally was incredibly thorough in preparing to work with our pupils to help them learn more about their bodies and injury management. She researched and brought her wealth of knowledge to the pupils in a fun and friendly way. The pupils were clearly comfortable and asked plenty of questions illustrating their trust in Ally and her experience.

Fantastic experience: I started training with Ally about 9 months ago following a major surgery. She was extremely knowledgeable about what I could and could not do following my particular surgery, which gave me confidence to start training again very quickly. Ally has also been very helpful in improving some longstanding issues with my movement and posture related to previous injuries. I’ve kept training with Ally even though I am now fully recovered as it’s totally different than anything I’ve done before. It’s clear she prepares for each session to ensure that I am working towards my goals. I highly recommend working with Ally if you get the opportunity.

Fantastic experience: I have been training with Ally for 10 years and she has been absolutely incredible in her support of my rehab from disc surgery. After struggling with years of chronic back pain and gluteal muscle weakness, and trying various forms of training, Ally has consistently and progressively developed my strength and flexibility through her knowledge, experience and intuitive understanding of anatomy and physiology. She has worked with my training for triathlons and is always amazing at adapting sessions on the 'fly' depending on how my body is feeling. Cannot recommend her highly enough - look no further for someone who will be as committed as you are to achieve whatever your personal fitness goals are

Fantastic experience: Update - still training with Ally and Grant, including at their studio at De Vere Horsley Towers. This is what I just posted re their services in the Horsey Towers area: The Personal Trainers, Ally and Grant of Movewell Fitness are great. They've always got new ideas to help you achieve your goals, you never get bored (and I get bored of repetitive exercise very easily), they stay really up to date with the latest research and they are nice, interesting people. They aren't cheap PTs, but you're getting 20 years of experience and top notch expertise, so they are very good value. They also have various special interest experience like training for cycling and post-hysterectomy recovery. I haven't done either, but Ally pre-hab'd and re-hab'd me for knee operations and I had a fantastic recovery. If you ever manage to get a slot with either of them, grab it. Original post (a couple of years ago) Ally has been training me for several years. She is way more than the normal personal trainer - she is really innovative and tailors things really well, even midway through a session. Plus she does great online classes everyday. I love the contemporary strength and flexibility lessons which is like yoga/pilates, but the ones using weights is great too.

Fantastic experience: Grant has been instrumental in helping me get so much more flexibility into my back having damaged it years ago. It is really helping my golf and my running. Grant's approach is guided by the latest medical evidence and so you know you are in safe hands. He puts so much effort into working out what you should be doing to improve. If you have a long term injury and need help getting your movement back, go and see Grant.

Fantastic experience: Can’t praise the team at Movewell fitness enough. I had a complete double disk replacement and spinal fusion in my Lower spine in 2020 and Ally helped me get back to my best after the operation and in such quick time. As a professional dancer I needed someone who understood my goals and needs of where I wanted to get back to physically and Ally did this and then some! I can’t recommend them enough if you need someone specialising in injury rehab or for specific goals. They will get the job done!

Fantastic experience: Ally was a godsend. After having an evasive operation I decided to invest in 1:1 sessions which more than paid off to get me back to my old self. I gained my fitness, strength and even mental health back in record time because of Ally’s expertise. I can’t fault her and trust her implicitly. She knows her stuff and is a joy to work with. Thanks again Ally! I owe you one!!!

Fantastic experience: Grant. has been training me, for a fitness assessment, witch I passed! All Thanks to him. And He has been a Amazing trainer. Couldn't done without him ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Fantastic experience: Alethea and Grant are fantastic trainers and people. Their online classes have been fun but challenging. They have a particular emphasis on pushing movement that you would do in everyday life to help build strength in places where it is actually useful. They are also specialists in injury recuperation and I cannot recommend them highly enough. why can we only give 5 stars?!

Fantastic experience: I have had the pleasure of attending classes/sessions taught/run by both Ally and Grant. These classes were held in a gym, some were held in gardens pre COVID-19 and online classes since the Covid-19 outbreak. Both of them are incredibly knowledgeable and spend a lot of time preparing for classes and clients. Over the years I’ve had the odd hockey injury and they have both been able to offer some suggestions to get me back to full training/sporting fitness. I am currently doing Grant’s Group Power workout on a Tuesday evening. This is a weights workout with a set formation and has a good range of strength, movement and a cardio kick too. When I can’t make the time slot I get a link to the session so that I can do it in my own time. One of the things I like the most, is the tips Grant gives to get more out of the session. He suggests areas to go heavier so that by the end of the workout you feel like your whole body has worked. On a Thursday evening I do Ally’s Centergy which is a lovely mix of yoga & Pilates. This session has a great mix of work and stretching. In these sessions Ally coaches you through possible issues and offers a range of options for all levels of fitness. If you’re wanting to train with people that have your best interests at heart and are constantly researching training technics and body mechanics, then Grant & Ally are the perfect trainers.

Fantastic experience: Ally is a fantastic trainer. I have been taking her online classes throughout lockdown and beyond. Her teaching is clear and easy to follow and she is very motivational.

Fantastic experience: I have taken part in group classes with both Ally and Grant and they are extremely professional, knowledgeable about their subject and interesting to work out with. The classes were always challenging (in a good way) and effective. I have attended many gyms and classes over the years and haven't seen any other instructor that knowledgeable and passionate about what they do.

Fantastic experience: I started personal training sessions with Ally after a knee operation last year to help build leg strength and get back to playing hockey properly. Ally adapted every session to optimise my recovery and beyond. Ally is so knowledgable and continuously works to make the sessions the best that they can be. My strength and all round fitness has benefited so much from the training and I couldn’t recommend her anymore. My mum and I also really enjoy her group sessions, the flexibility classes are a great compliment to my training. We love the music and always feel so stretchy afterwards!

Fantastic experience: If you have an injury, a bad back or a weakness and you would like to feel better, move better and get stronger then you will not find a more skilled personal trainer. I initially went to Ally over 15 years ago because I had a bad back and I was tired of the pain and the GP telling me to take NSAIDS. Not only did I notice a difference in my pain and strength but Ally motivated me to actually get fit and change my life. Having worked with Ally for many years I can assure you that she is continually learning and developing her skills. Ally will listen to you, and she will extensively research for your requirements to ensure that you are getting the absolute best possible exercises for your body. I highly recommend Ally.

Fantastic experience: Having suffered from back problems since my teens I started training with Ally 5 years ago on the recommendation of a friend and have never regretted it. She is very knowledgeable and in tune with her clients needs. Under her tutelage I have progressed to the point where I am off pain meds and am able to enjoy sports again! I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Fantastic experience: I just want to let you all know how great these classes have been in these difficult times. Very motivational & inspiring. Ally can adapt all classes to suit all. I have a hip injury which she takes into account on all activity. I highly recommend her and her style of fitness t everyone. 5 Stars

Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Ally at Moves Fitness to anyone of any age or level of fitness looking to improve their wellbeing. I have worked with Ally since January and my fitness, diet, balance, flexibility, sleep and stress levels have all improved as she takes a very holistic approach to her work. Her professionalism and knowledge are excellent and she focuses entirely on my needs and medical conditions, tailoring every session to work for me. The current lockdown has not impacted on our ability to train as Ally is fully set up remotely to continue our sessions. And if that's not enough, she's a thoroughly lovely person too.

Fantastic experience: Ally has been my trainer for many years and she constantly finds new ways to make training challenging but fun. I feel so lucky to have found someone who works so hard to ensure she stays at the top of her game and who I trust implicitly. I cannot recommend her enough.

Fantastic experience: When you work with Ally and Grant you'll discover that exercise is meant to make your body feel better and not beaten up! They're expert trainers that help your body to move and feel better - not worse!

Fantastic experience: Ally is a fountain of knowledge. My husband has had extreme knee pain for months and is awaiting an appointment with a knee surgeon. His mobility in recent months has been severely restricted. Having looked at his movement Ally suggested a number of exercises in order to make his pain more manageable and his mobility better. In the last few weeks there has been a marked difference and our daily walks have become longer and more manageable. We can’t thank Ally enough and we would highly recommend her advice. With the huge upsurge of online Fitness, Ally stands out from the crowd with her approach to better movement and performing exercises correctly.
