Pregnancy Exercise at She Moves
Did you know at She Moves we offer four new pregnancy classes each week?
We know that every pregnancy is different and we know that fitness levels vary person to person - some come into pregnancy with very little fitness and just want to get started others have an excellent base level of fitness and want to continue to challenge themselves.
We also understand the complications that can at times present themselves during pregnancy such as pelvic pain, pelvic floor dysfunction, morning sickness and fatigue just to name a few. This is why we offer so much variety in this space so there is something appropriate for every pregnant Mum.
Each of our pregnancy safe classes are delivered by a qualified personal trainer who has done specialised prenatal certifications. Below you can read about all the She Moves pregnancy options and who they might be suitable for.
Before participating in any exercise programme please ensure you have medical clearance to participate from your GP or Midwife.
