Antenatal
Exercise during pregnancy is recommended for most mums to be and has a range of benefits, including:
  • An increased sense of well being
  • A reduction in the occurrence of back ache, cramp, stiffness and insomnia
  • It generally leads to an easier labour and faster postnatal recovery
Postnatal
You can start an exercise programme as soon as your GP or midwife gives you clearance, usually at 6 weeks. Our programmes will include:
  • Strengthening weak abdominals.
  • Exercises to repair pelvic floor muscles.
  • Stretching tight back and shoulders.
  • Strengthening your whole body in anticipation of the growing weight of your baby.
  • Techniques for maintaining better posture.

If you keep up the exercise programme you will experience:
  • An increased sense of well being
  • A reduction in the occurrence of back ache
  • A faster return to your pre-pregnancy body shape.
  • A reduced risk of injury from the repeated activities associated with motherhood.
  • A supportive, friendly environment to share your experiences.

We are qualified to provide ante/postnatal exercise so you can safely attend any of our classes both during your pregnancy and in the postnatal period.

However, we recommend that you attend our specific ante/postnatal classes from the last trimester of your pregnancy until your baby is 6 months old.

Babies are welcome at the specific postnatal classes, which are arranged by appointment at times to suit the attendees.
