What mums say about Mamafit®
Shannon
Attending Mamafit makes me feel empowered as a new mum.
If I didn’t have the opportunity to go to these classes I feel that exercising would feel much more difficult to achieve, joining Mamafit has helped me maintain good mental health and given me the energy I need to look after Scarlett and my family.
Attending during my maternity leave has helped me build a new exercise routine, shaped around family life, which I can continue with when I go back to work.
I have met other mum’s through Mamafit who share the same passion for exercise and wellbeing both for themselves and their babies. I’ve always felt welcome at Mamafit, the trainers make you feel so comfortable and motivated.
I truly believe Mamafit helped make my pregnancy a positive experience. I didn’t want to stop exercising because I was pregnant or had a baby; Mamafit helped me achieve this.
If you are looking to exercise safely and to meet women who have the same passion as you for health and wellbeing, I can’t recommend Mamafit enough!

When I found out that I was pregnant, I was determined to keep exercising for as long as I could as I didn’t want to lose my fitness or feel unhealthy.
I tried to keep up with my regular exercise but was a bit scared of doing something wrong so decided to sign up to Mamafit.
I was nervous about going to my first class, especially as I wasn’t even showing yet, I was only about 10 weeks pregnant but as soon as I got there I felt at home.
Rob was great, he was friendly, really easy to talk to and took the time to talk to everyone in class, and always happy to answer any questions and offer gentle encouragement. Looking back, it was so nice to be able to chat to other women who were also pregnant, sharing experiences and tips, there were also second time mums there, who were great sources of wisdom!
I attended Mamafit throughout my pregnancy up to 38 weeks, I really valued and enjoyed being able to exercise through my whole pregnancy. I am sure that the regular exercise helped to ease some of the pregnancy aches and pains and keep my energy levels up.

Before my pregnancy, I was not exactly somebody you could describe as a fitness fanatic, in fact, my idea of physical activity was to walk from the office into town for a sandwich rather than popping conveniently to the cafe next door. But when I became pregnant, something immediately switched in my head.
Whether it was anxiety about the impact that pregnancy would have on my physical and mental health or because I was suddenly conscious that my health no longer just affected me… either way, I knew I wanted to do something, I just wasn’t sure what or where.
Mamafit is about making time for yourself during a period of extreme change – as a new mum, time for yourself can often feel selfish and like stealing time away from your family, but with Mamafit, you share the experience with your baby and introduce exercise and wellbeing as ‘the norm’ and not something that is forced upon you.

Mamafit has helped me mentally, I have gained good advice and found it helpful to share experiences with other mums, knowing you are not the only person finding being a new mum challenging at times.
I leave every session feeling happy, motivated and as though I have achieved something for myself while spending time with my children.
I would recommend Mamafit to pregnant women who would like to say active during their pregnancy and new mums wanting to return to exercise, the variety of classes available are excellent and suitable for all fitness levels, it is so nice to meet new mums and make new friendships. Mamafit has really helped me both during pregnancy and as a new mum.

Attending Mamafit once a week gave me a sense of achievement; even if the house was chaos when I got home, I had a few hours out to clear my head, exercise and talk to other mums in similar situations. Mamafit helped me find calm after the storm.
My class consisted of a lovely mix of ‘normal’ expectant mums with the same hopes, challenges and anxieties as me, it was great to be surrounded by pregnant women in similar situations.
