Why Mum & Baby Exercise Is So Special

Postnatal exercise is about so much more than fitness.

When done with the right support, it can:

  • Boost energy levels
  • Support mental health and emotional wellbeing
  • Rebuild strength safely after pregnancy and birth
  • Improve confidence and body awareness
  • Help you connect with other mums going through the same stage of life

And the best part?
You don’t need childcare — your little one comes with you.

Mum and baby fitness

Our Mum & Baby Fitness sessions are designed specifically for postnatal bodies.

These sessions are:

  • Fully coached by a postnatal specialist
  • Adapted for all stages of postnatal recovery
  • Supportive, friendly and completely non-judgemental
  • Focused on rebuilding strength, fitness and confidence safely

You’ll be guided through movements that support your recovery, with options to suit how your body feels on the day. There’s no pressure to keep up, no expectation to “push through”, and no comparison.

You move at your pace — we’ll guide you every step of the way.

Not Sure If You’re Ready Yet?

  • Doing the wrong exercises
  • Making symptoms worse
  • Feeling embarrassed or out of place
  • Not knowing where to start

Every woman’s recovery is different. Our sessions are adapted to your individual needs, ability and stage of recovery.

Pelvic Health & Core Strengthening Course

NHS Approved - Physio based exercise - 6 weeks course

Our Pelvic Health & Core Strengthening course is a specialist 6-week programme designed to support postnatal recovery from the inside out.


Originally developed by Annelize, Head coach and owner of Studio Fit Gloucester, in partnership with Gloucestershire NHS Trust and Active Gloucestershire to provide postnatal pelvic health support for new mums.


Delivered through Children’s Centres and leisure facilities for almost two years, and now continued at Studio Fit Gloucester with partial funding to keep it accessible for local women.

This course is:

  • NHS approved
  • Partially funded
  • Based on physiotherapy principles
  • Led by a qualified postnatal specialist

It’s ideal if you’re experiencing — or want to prevent — issues related to pelvic floor weakness, core strength, or C-section recovery.

This program can help you:

  • Improve pelvic floor function
  • Build core and full body strength
  • Reduce discomfort and improve control
  • Boost confidence in your body
  • Support your long-term health and wellbeing

Why it matters?

A stronger pelvic floor and core doesn’t just support your body now - it helps you for life

Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation After Birth

Strengthening your pelvic floor can:

  • Help prevent and treat incontinence
  • Reduce the risk of pelvic organ prolapse
  • Improve confidence and control during everyday movement

Postnatal Core Recovery & Strengthening

Your deep core muscles act like a corset, supporting your spine and abdomen.

This program can help you:

  • Improve stability and posture
  • Reduce back pain
  • Protect your spine
  • Support closure of the diastasis gap (when appropriate)

C-Section Recovery

Over 6 weeks, we gently and progressively guide you through:

  • Physio-based pelvic floor exercises
  • Deep core activation
  • Controlled, purposeful movement
  • Education and reassurance around safe recovery

There’s no rushing, no pressure, and no guesswork.
We rebuild strength slowly, safely, and confidently.

You Don’t Have to Do This Alone

Whether you’re:

  • Newly postnatal
  • Returning to exercise after time away
  • Recovering from a C-section
  • Wanting reassurance you’re moving safely

Antenatal Fitness
