The Postnatal Fitness service offers gentle and supportive exercise sessions designed to help new mothers regain strength, improve overall wellbeing, and boost confidence after childbirth. These sessions focus on core stability, pelvic floor recovery, posture, and gradual strength building, all tailored to the needs of postnatal women.

Led by experienced instructors, the sessions provide a safe and welcoming environment where mothers can focus on their recovery while also connecting with others on a similar journey. The programme promotes physical and mental wellbeing, encouraging a gradual return to exercise while considering each individuals recovery pace.
