Pregnancy and postnatal

Keep training through your whole pregnancy.

About 80% of our classes are pregnancy-safe and every instructor is trained in pre and postnatal. When your baby arrives, Mums + Minis welcomes you back with your baby beside you.

From Cath, founder and mum of four
“When I was on my own fitness journey, I struggled to find a studio that catered to parents, especially through pregnancy and postpartum.”

That's why Pilates Place is all about supporting mums. You can keep moving safely while you're pregnant, then come back to movement after birth with your baby in the room.

Our classes help you get fit and strong, and ease the everyday aches that come with pregnancy and motherhood.

From our mums

“Signing up was the best thing I ever did post-birth, not only for my physical recovery, but for the social side of things. I don't know how I would have got through parental leave without the friendships and connections I made.”
Jen
“It's been the perfect way for me to keep active, and each of the instructors have been so accommodating when adapting exercises as I progressed through my pregnancy.”
Britney

Questions mums ask us

What if my baby cries?

That's completely normal. Babies are welcome, and you can pause to feed, settle or cuddle whenever you need to, then rejoin when you're ready.

When can I start after giving birth?

Mums + Minis is for mums 6 weeks to 6 months postpartum, once you have clearance from your GP or allied health professional.

Do I need medical clearance?

Yes. Please get clearance from your GP or allied health professional before training while pregnant or returning after birth.

Can I bring my older kids?

Yes, to our child-friendly classes. There's a play area for older kids that you can see from your reformer. Children stay in your care during class.

Is it really safe to keep training while pregnant?

With clearance, yes. About 80% of our classes are pregnancy-safe, and every instructor is trained to adapt exercises as your pregnancy progresses.
