Testimonial for our Postnatal exercise classes from Nicoline Sandwith

After I had given birth to my first baby I was keen to get back into shape as soon as possible. I was breastfeeding and exhausted after weeks of interrupted sleep, so bearing this in mind, I wanted advice as to how to best achieve this from a true professional who understood what I was going though.

Baby A-Wake was the perfect solution for me, as not only could I bring my baby to the classes, but I felt that I was being properly looked after in terms of the right type and intensity of exercise as well as nutritional guidance. The classes are small, personal and unpretentious. My teacher, Jane was also great at motivating me, so after each session I felt as if I'd had a proper workout. This gave me a lot of extra energy (which I sorely needed!) and gradually got me back to a similar weight to what I'd been pre pregnancy. I would strongly recommend Baby A-Wake to any expecting or new mum!

Pregnancy exercise programme testimonial from Laura Chamberlain

I've always exercised regularly and was really keen to continue throughout my pregnancy.

I started Baby A-Wake classes when I was 4 months pregnant. The classes really helped me to be certain that I was excercising correctly and talk about any issues that I or the other girls had. It was a great way to meet other mums-to-be and be forced to do my pelvic floors! As a result of staying fit throughout my pregnancy, I regained my pre-pregnancy shape within a few months of giving birth.

Pre-natal class testimonial from Katy Bere

I started Baby A-Wake classes when I was 4 months pregnant.

I was able to keep exercising (safely) while I was pregnant and start again with post natal classes only weeks after giving birth. It made sure that I didn't loose my fitness and motivated me to start exercising again as well as getting me back to my pre-pregnancy shape. It was great that I could take Emily along to the classes with me - I think she enjoyed it too!

Pregnancy class testimonial from Silvia Salmoiraghi

I was struggling in my first couple of months of pregnancy with sickness but still wanted to try and do some exercise, so I decided to check this one out.

I've really enjoyed it. It has helped me to gain great results and was very good for my posture during my pregnancy. Jane, Baby A-Wake teacher, played an immense part in my experience throughout the pre natal classes. She filled me with confidence and calmed my fears for the big day with her guidance and advice.
