Pre-natal programming

Pilates exercises done on equipment are functional, safe and enjoyable during pregnancy. This workout will help you maintaining your general strength, your pelvic floor function and abdominal muscles while such big changes take place in your body.

You will not only be prepared for the demands of childbirth but also achieve your pre-pregnancy shape faster after you have the baby.

The studio work will facilitate a variety of exercises and positions that will suit all stages of pregnancy and be challenging and rewarding. Many of our clients have exercised throughout the whole pregnancy.

Post-Natal (Welcoming mums with bubs to our sessions)

At Pilates Insight studio we understand it can be difficult to find time to exercise after having a baby and we welcome new mums to bring their babies (up to 6 months) to our studio sessions at selected times on Fridays and Tuesdays am. We can also organise a baby sitter at a rate of $15/hr to mind your baby while you exercise. Please contact our friendly staff for more information.

The post-natal program is geared to help you get back to your pre-pregnancy shape. Initially we will focus on your pelvic floor muscles, safe return to exercise, improved posture and correct lifting and handling of the baby. You will gradually build up strength and stamina and we will use a cardio workout to boost your metabolism and burn extra calories while still focusing on your core strength.

Note: You must have had your 6 week post-natal check up and been cleared by your doctor to start exercising.
