How to choose the right Mums Fitness Class

How to choose the right Prenatal/Postpartum Fitness Class

Navigating the world of pre and postpartum fitness can be overwhelming, especially when you’re eager to regain your strength and energy after pregnancy. Choosing the right Mums Fitness class is crucial for your health and well-being. Here’s what to consider when selecting a postnatal fitness class, and how Mumsafe™ can support you on this journey.

Why is choosing the right Mums Fitness Class important?

When it comes to fitness during pregnancy or after childbirth, finding the right Mums Fitness class can make a world of difference in how you feel physically and emotionally. As your body undergoes significant changes, it’s essential to choose a fitness program. One that supports your unique needs while helping you stay strong, healthy, and connected. With the overload of information and conflicting advice around exercise, where everyone claims to be THE EXPERT, it is tricky terrain to navigate.

During pregnancy, movement helps you stay strong, relieve discomfort, and prepare your body for the physical demands of childbirth. Similarly, postpartum fitness is crucial for recovery, rebuilding strength, and regaining energy. But movement also has emotional and mental benefits.

Dr. Keri K. Allen, a fitness expert, puts it

Exercise not only boosts your physical health but also has a profound effect on your mental well-being—helping you feel more like yourself.

That’s why it’s vital to choose a Mums fitness class that’s tailored specifically to the challenges and changes that come with pregnancy and postpartum recovery. A great class will offer the right balance of movement, education, and support—helping you feel empowered, not overwhelmed. An even greater class will have a Coach who offers regressions and/or progressions for each individual client no matter if it’s a 1-1 session tor in a group fitness session. And this is the Mumsafe™ difference!

Mums Fitness Classes with Mumsafe™ Coaches are Gold Standard

Choosing the right Mums fitness class is about more than just getting active. It’s about finding a program that aligns with your values, supports your needs, and helps you feel strong and confident at every stage of life. By choosing the right class, you’re not just taking care of your body, you’re investing in your future health, happiness, and well-being.

What to look for in a Trainer

  • Qualified, Insured and Registered

Ensure your fitness instructor is trained and certified in prenatal and postpartum fitness. Being a Mum isn’t the qualification you’re looking for! This ensures they understand the physiological changes that happen during these phases and can provide exercises that are safe and effective. For example, as a Mumsafe™ Trainer, we are specifically trained to provide expert guidance on pelvic floor health, core strengthening, and other essential areas for pregnant and postpartum women whilst specialising in women’s health.

  • Going beyond the standard

Mumsafe™ Trainers are not just qualified, they are committed to ongoing education and excellence. They hold recognised certifications in pre and postpartum fitness and are registered with peak bodies. Each trainer has a referral partnership with a pelvic health physiotherapist, ensuring that your workouts are not only effective but also safe for your pelvic floor and they are committed to and undertake regular ongoing education. This commitment to quality and safety sets Mumsafe™ Trainers apart.

Movement isn’t just a workout. It’s how I take care of myself so I can be there for my family, my career, and my life.

What to look for in a Mums Fitness Class

  • Group setting but tailored programming

Look for a class that is designed with your specific needs in mind. Prenatal and postpartum fitness classes should not be generic. The classes need to be tailored to address the unique physical and emotional aspects of pregnancy and recovery. Mumsafe™ Trainers ensure that each exercise is safe for all stages. Plus they know all the modifications to meet your body’s changing needs. They take into consideration your needs on the day from low energy states to a fussy baby or work stress etc.

  • Community and support

Fitness isn’t just about physical strength—it’s about emotional support too. Joining a class where you feel supported by others who are going through similar experiences can be incredibly motivating. Does your Trainer know your name, kids, partner, your job? Are they checking in with you throughout your time. Choose a class that fosters connection and community.

  • Focus on women’s health

Look for Trainers who emphasise safe and effective exercises, especially those that recommend you visit a women’s or pelvic health physiotherapists. This ensures that the classes prioritise your recovery and long-term health, focusing on rebuilding core strength and overall fitness.

  • Long-Term Commitment

Movement should be part of your entire journey—both during pregnancy and after childbirth. Look for a fitness provider that offers a range of programs that evolve with your needs.
