PREGNANCY WEEKLY EXERCISE CLASS
"Achieve Optimal Health During Your Pregnancy with Keep Mums Fit"
Class Details
Tuesdays 7.15 - 8.30 pm at Kate Campbell Fitness
You and the other mums-to-be will have the whole gym to yourselves. Train safely with expert trainer Lauren, a physiotherapist and pre- and Postnatal PT and Pilates coach.
The Antenatal Class will include traditional exercises adapted specifically for pregnancy.
Class Structure
Through different exercise methods, each 45-minute session will be different. The focus is on:
Building strength in areas that often become weak during pregnancy through various gym strength-based activities.
Maintaining mobility through standing and floor-based exercises helps reduce tension, increase flexibility, and enable you to move freely.
Conditioning circuits using body weight, free weights, bands, balls, benches and steps.
Cardio fitness maintenance using gym machines and bodyweight movements.
Pilates-based exercises connect the key areas through breathing, movement and balance.
Pelvic floor visualisations and practical movement application
Guided and non-guided Relaxation and visualisations
The aim is to deliver safe, fun, and effective exercises and to provide you with expert knowledge on how to nurture your body throughout this exciting time.
At the end of the exercise session, you will have the opportunity to chat with other mums-to-be, exchange numbers, share experiences, and seek advice.
Keep mums fit are friends for life, building a strong network of support throughout your journey and beyond.
To complement your fitness class, Fit@Home is recommended. For only £8.99 per month (Cancel anytime), you get access to home workouts to support your pregnancy and beyond. From Pilates to strength workouts, you can train with Kate and her team anytime and anywhere. Find out more and subscribe.
When can I begin, and how do I join?
You can join Keep Mums Fit classes at any time after 13 weeks. If you are a member of another gym or attend classes elsewhere, you may wish to wait and join specific pregnancy exercise classes later, from 20 plus weeks.
WORD OF ADVICE: always tell your instructor you are pregnant, as many mainstream classes and gym work is unsuitable during pregnancy if not modified or adapted.
The benefits of exercise for both mum and baby are widely researched, and evidence suggests that all women should be encouraged to participate in aerobic and strength-conditioning exercise as part of a healthy lifestyle during pregnancy.
The vast majority of pregnancies are low-risk; however, please read our FAQ, as some conditions may require discussion with your healthcare professional before participating in our program.
Regular commitment to the program will enhance your strength, confidence, and maintain your fitness. For this reason, all classes are booked in 6 or 10-week blocks.
Try a class for FREE, then purchase your block booking. (8 or 12 week expiry)
PAYG is available from 36 weeks. We know how tired you may feel towards the end of your pregnancy.
What People Are Saying
I contacted Kate early in my pregnancy as having spoken to others with hypermobility, I had visions of needing crutches and perhaps a wheelchair later on. I am fitter, more mobile and far more confident in my body's ability at 9 months pregnant than I would ever have dared possible, I can't recommend Kate's gym, and training with Lauren, enough.
— Maddy
The pregnancy classes are really supportive, friendly and helpful. Kate is great a teacher and supporter. Would recommend to anyone looking for a pregnancy class where they can have fun, learn and increase confidence for birth-alongside exercise and relaxation.
— Catherine
I learnt more in the antenatal chats than I did from my actual antenatal classes, and was able to ask more questions, especially of the second time Mums who had already been through the experience. Highly recommend.
