Mums In Motion

One of the biggest questions I get is whether babies can come along.

The answer is absolutely yes. 👶💜

Mums in Motion is designed around the reality of having a baby.

Your baby might sleep through the whole thing.
They might watch you exercise.
They might need feeding.
They might decide they absolutely do NOT want to be in the pram today. 😂

That’s all okay.

You don’t need to apologise for your baby being a baby.

Come along, do what you can, take breaks when you need to and enjoy moving your body alongside other mums who get it.

If you’ve been thinking about coming along but have a few questions in the back of your mind, you’re definitely not the only one.

So this week, I’m answering some of the questions I get asked most often about Mums in Motion.

Things like:
👶 Can I bring my baby?
🍼 How old does my baby need to be?
💗 What happens after a C-section?
🫣 What if I leak?
🏋️ What if I haven’t exercised before?
👟 What do I wear?
🚗 Where do I park?
🤍 Can I come alone?

Because sometimes it’s not the workout that’s stopping you from booking.

It’s simply not knowing what to expect.

So, if you’ve been wondering… keep an eye on this week’s posts. 💜

And if there’s something you’re still unsure about, send me a message. There really is no silly question.

Mums in Motion — Pregnancy & Postnatal Fitness 🤍

As we head into a new season, routines can start to settle and it can be a lovely time to think about what you need too.

If you’ve been thinking about getting back into exercise…

…but you don’t want:
❌ Pressure
❌ Intense workouts
❌ To jump straight back into “normal” classes

Then Mums in Motion might be for you.

These classes are designed especially for pregnant and postnatal mums who want to move their bodies again in a safe, supportive environment.

Mums in Motion is a gentle, supportive fitness class designed to help you:
✨ Rebuild strength safely
✨ Support your core and pelvic floor
✨ Move at your own pace — with options and rest
✨ Feel more confident in your body again
✨ Babies are very welcome — they can come along, feed, nap, wriggle or watch while you move

There’s no expectation to be “fit”.
No rushing recovery.
And no pressure to do more than feels right for you.

I obviously love seeing mums get stronger.
 
I love seeing someone lift a heavier weight.
 
I love watching confidence grow.
 
But there’s another part of Mums in Motion that makes me really happy.
 
Watching the relationships develop.
 
A mum who came along on her own starts chatting to someone.
 
Then they sit together the following week.
 
Then they’re catching up before class.
 
Then suddenly they’re talking about meeting up outside of Mums in Motion.
 
And I think that’s really special.
 
Because having a baby can be wonderful, but it can also be a really lonely and isolating time.
 
If Mums in Motion can give mums somewhere to exercise and somewhere they feel connected, that’s a pretty good reason to keep doing what I do. 💜

This is exactly the kind of thing I want Mums in Motion to be.
 
A place where you can come and exercise without feeling like exercise is the only thing you’re there for.
 
Because motherhood can feel lonely sometimes.
 
Having somewhere you regularly see the same friendly faces can make such a difference.
 
A familiar face.
 
A friendly chat.
 
Someone who understands why you’re tired.
 
Someone whose baby is doing exactly the same thing yours is.
 
It’s those little connections that can turn a fitness class into something that feels like your place. 💜

One of my favourite things about Mums in Motion is watching friendships happen.
 
You don’t necessarily arrive looking to make friends.
 
You come because you want to exercise.
 
But then you start chatting.
 
You recognise the same mums each week.
 
Your babies start recognising each other.
 
You share the highs, the hard days and the very relatable mum-life moments.
 
And before you know it, you’ve found people you actually look forward to seeing.
 
That’s the bit you can’t put on a workout plan. 💜

Sometimes the best part of coming to a mum-and-baby fitness class isn’t actually the exercise.
 
It’s the chat before class.
 
The little laugh when everyone’s babies decide they don’t want to cooperate.
 
The “mine does that too!” conversation.
 
The friendships that start because you happened to put your mat next to someone.
 
And gradually, you realise you’re not just coming to a class anymore.
 
You’re coming to see your people. 💜

There are lots of reasons to come to Mums in Motion.
 
To get stronger.
To move your body.
To have an hour to yourself.
 
But there’s something else that happens too.
 
You start to recognise familiar faces.
 
You have a chat before class.
 
You realise someone else’s baby is going through the exact same stage as yours.
 
You make friends.
 
And slowly, it starts to feel like your little village. 💜
 
Because sometimes you don’t just need a workout.
 
You need people who get it.

If you’re a mum who wants to get stronger but isn’t quite sure where to begin, Mums in Motion could be a good place to start.
 
You don’t need previous gym experience.
 
You don’t need to be super fit.
 
You don’t need to know how to use every piece of equipment.
 
And you don’t need to be able to do everything straight away.
 
I’ll give you options throughout the workout so you can find the version that works for you.
