Bumps on the Move
Our pregnancy group fitness classes designed to support you to keep moving, modify and adapt through the trimesters
Congratulations on your pregnancy! Whether this is your first or third pregnancy, knowing how to navigate movement and physical activity can be so confusing! You might already know that there are huge benefits for both you and your baby when it comes to exercising in pregnancy…but what does that look like in action?
What’s safe or unsafe? Are there particular things I should or shouldn’t be doing? Can I make a start with exercise if I haven’t already been exercising (the short answer is yes)? Can I continue with what I am already doing? Can I lift heavy weights? What about my core and pelvic floor?
So. Many. Questions. You know it’s important. You want to do it. But how?
Our 9 week Bumps on the Move Class is designed to help you with all of these things! I have been training clients during pregnancy and postpartum for the last 8 years. I am a REPS registered Personal Trainer and I have completed 3 pre and postnatal specialist certifications, the latest in 2025. I have 3 little ones (2 years, 4 years and 6 years old). I am super passionate about supporting women with evidence based information; I want you to feel confident navigating exercise both during pregnancy and postpartum. With the right guidance this is absolutely possible. I am support, knowledge, guidance, lots of empathy, care and fun!
Our course IS NOT A YOGA/PILATES class. There is absolutely nothing wrong with yoga or pilates (both great forms of movement) but this class offers something different. In this class expect to be working on movements that we use in everyday life, movements that support you with strength and function, core and pelvic floor health, both during pregnancy and motherhood. Squats, lunges, pushes, pulls…We will use bodyweight, dumbbells and kettlebells.
Motherhood is a physically challenging task - strength and fitness is so important!
We will also focus on core and pelvic floor awareness, strength and responsiveness. There will be a short educational component at the start and lots of opportunities to get to kmow the other Mums to be in the class!
