Buggyfitness is the first antenatal postnatal outdoor workout of it's kind in North Wales!
When can I start?
Join as soon as you've been give the go ahead to return to exercise by your health professional. This is usually at 6 weeks postpartum or 10-12 weeks after a cesarean. Please note that some GPs are no longer offering this service. If you have any concerns no matter how small, please discuss this with your health visitor/health professional prior to attending. I too can provide specific exercise guidance via a short phone call on 07919131516. After a cesarean the guidance is to wait till you are fully recovered and start gently when you are ready buy not before 12 weeks. You can participate in the walking only aspect of the classes from 10 weeks.
Only book on when you're feeling 100% well.

It's not just a walk in the park!
Buggyfitness is a safe varied pre and postnatal workout for new mums looking to get back into feeling healthy.
People are often surprised at how effective the workout actually is while the baby stays in the buggy. Come along. It's a fun way to meet new people. These sessions certainly tip the balance between mums and baby groups focused on development and play, and the time mums put into their own health and fitness goals.
Are you a motivated mum?
If you know a group of mums keen to exercise together, not a walking group, a proper conditioning workout,
get in touch and I'll see what I can do!
There is no pressure to keep up just work at the level to suit you
What shall I do if baby cries?
Babies cry. Don't worry we've all been there!
Sometimes we stop to feed or change baby, the class continues and mum can join back in when ready. If babies cry I endeavour to help out while you carry on training.
What shall I bring?
You don't need a specific pram or buggy.
A rain cover, a baseball hat to keep off sun and rain, sunglasses and gloves if you don't like cold hands.
Strong supportive bra, good fitting trainers, a water bottle and a smile.
Don't forget. There is no such thing as bad weather, just inappropriate clothing!
Although you get warm, babies are not exercising, so remember your cosy toes or blanket for the cold days.
We do Buggyfitness rain or shine!
Buggyfitness improves strength and stamina making daily tasks like putting baby into the car seat easier. Get focused on restoring your core, your posture and pelvic floor which are all areas challenged during pregnancy and childbirth.
Sessions are suitable for ALL fitness levels from from 12 weeks first trimester, 6 weeks postnatal or from 10-12 weeks after a caesarean.
Some mums trained during pregnancy and others are complete beginners. book now.
With a twenty five year teaching history workouts are tailored to suit. Some mums power walk while others learn to run, or sprint! Some struggle with traditional flexion based core exercises due to unhealed diastasis so we work on the deep transverse abdominal muscles instead.
All the exercises progress each individual at their own pace using equipment such as balls, dumbbells and bands which is all provided for you!
If you have any questions that aren't, answered on this page, get in touch.
What not to forget?
Snack for baby / toddler. Toys / books for toddler.
You are doing a great job being Mum and you deserve to take time out to look after yourself properly.
Now and for the rest of your life!
Once you get started....You'll be a roll model of fitness and wellbeing to all your friends and family 😊
Preparation
🌟Feed baby before coming to class if possible. This means there is a chance baby isn't as hungry and you can get an hour for YOU.
🌟If you're breastfeeding this also ensures you are more comfortable to exercise.
🌟Factor in an extra hour after the class if you can, to go for a mooch in Rhos on Sea (or at the Castle).
Extend your walking time along the gorgeous promenade (or in the stunning grounds)
🌟 Plan a healthy bite to eat so you can refuel afterwards. It's too easy to go for cake and coffee in baby groups. Choose nutritionally valuable food over fancy cakes and treats. Your body needs nourishing after giving birth and will still be recovering, building muscle, new connective tissue and laying down layers of new bone and cells. Create healthy habits that will make you feel great and last you a lifetime!
🌟These early baby months fly by and how we look after ourselves is key to how well look after our loved ones.
