Frequently Asked Questions?

What is a typical class like?

The 45-minute class is broken up into thirds: Stretch - Warm up – Workout. The coach starts with guided breathing, stretching or pelvic floor work. Next, the coach will teach movements for the workout. Once the class is warmed up, the workout will begin.

What is a typical class like?

What if I am unable to do all the movements?

The coach has the knowledge to adapt every movement to a variety of options to accommodate every ability level, injury, or limitation. The number one priority is safety, followed by making sure everyone is comfortable and having fun!

What happens after 8 weeks?

The 8-week FM&B program will naturally phase into Fit Mum 365. The first 8 weeks are spent focusing on healing and gently returning to fitness. Fit Mum 365 is a continuation that focuses less on the pelvic floor and more on developing the movements and skills learned in FM&B. This also allows our gym to welcome a new group of postpartum mums every 3 months.

What are the benefits of this program?
Surprisingly, the social and peer support benefits outweigh the fitness benefits. Picture yourself in a loving family of mums all going through the same challenges and milestones. The workout is just a bonus!

What should I bring?
A water bottle, comfortable gym clothes, and indoor shoes. Feel free to bring your baby in their push chair. Some mums bring bouncy seats, sit-up seats.

When are classes held?

Monday, Wednesday, Thursday

10.15-11am

Sometimes I am exhausted. Is the class hard?

This program is designed as a gentle return to fitness after giving birth (natural or C-Section). It begins with a lot of attention to pelvic floor rehab, learning breathing strategies, and getting you ready for your everyday physical task demands. The goal is not strength or intensity, it’s building your own version of capacity through the fundamentals of strength and conditioning. Even if you are tired, it’s worth joining the session it’s a great way to get out of the house and sharing your experiences with the other mums.

Can my newborn come to class?

Yes! This is designed as a "Mummy and Me" class where your little one can hang out with you while you workout.

What if my child is upset during class?

Babies poop! Feel free to pause at any moment and tend to your baby. You will have a mat in your space and your baby will always remain beside you. Feed them, change them, and soothe them. You will always have an opportunity to include your baby in the workout if they are having a fussy day. Even colicky babies love the music and fans – it is white noise gold!

What if I have no fitness experience?

No problem! The program is designed for a gentle return to fitness. Whether you have experience or not, all movements can be adjusted to meet your abilities and where you are at.
