Postnatal at Body Image Fitness
This is a supportive, baby-friendly class designed to help you rebuild strength, confidence, and trust in your body after birth, without pressure, judgement, or diet culture.
This class focuses on safe, progressive movement for postnatal bodies, with particular attention to core strength, pelvic floor support, posture, and everyday functional movement (like lifting, carrying, and getting up and down from the floor).
Classes are intentionally kept small to ensure personalised support and a calm, inclusive atmosphere. All movements are optional, with adaptations offered throughout so you can move in a way that feels right for your body.
There is no expectation to “bounce back”, push through fatigue, or exercise through discomfort. Rest is always welcome.
Babies are welcome. Feeding, settling, cuddling, crying, and stepping out are all completely normal here.
What to expect
Each session is designed to feel calm, supportive, and flexible, with space for both you and your baby.
When you arrive, there’s time to settle in, feed, cuddle, or get comfortable before we begin. Classes don’t start abruptly, and you’re welcome to join in at your own pace.
To rebuild strength without pressure to “bounce back
A safe, inclusive, non-judgemental space
Movement that focuses on function, confidence and care, not weight loss
It is not about shrinking your body, 'fixing' yourself, or meeting unrealistic expectations.
