STRONG MUM APPROACH
In the same way that the body functions best with a varied diet, it always performs better when it undergoes different training styles. I balance training by applying the Pilates principles to gain a strong core from the spine outwards. This helps to combat and abdominal separation, embarrassing leaking issues and promotes a flatter stomach. It also builds balanced strength that is necessary when carrying everything from a screaming child and ten shopping bags in from the car (extreme example, but it does happen)!
What is 1-1 Personal Training like?
Pre & postnatal one to one Personal Training sessions are only 40 minutes long, so they are more baby/child friendly and more manageable for pregnant ladies.
All sessions include warm-up & cool down.
All sessions are custom made and suitable for ladies needing to heal diastasis recti and general pelvic floor tone.
Please note some cases may require referral to physio.
My USP
I pride my classes on the fact that the numbers are kept small to pay enough attention to everyone, keeping them safe, and ensuring no further damage is caused to already separated abdominals.

Are you ready to embrace your inner Super-Strongmum?
To this day, even when I lack motivation, I still come away from each session feeling stronger and more focused. I am currently 35 weeks pregnant and have continued to train with Abbie throughout (even during the pandemic! via zoom) in order to maintain my strength and keep a focus on my wellbeing before baby no2 arrives. I am already looking forward to what I can achieve following this pregnancy!
