Sally has over 10 years’ experience of providing exercise sessions for pregnant and postnatal women. Her classes are adapted to suit women at all stages - whether you're pregnant or a new mum - and all fitness levels. Sally provides lots of exercise adaptations during each session, which means that pregnant and postnatal women can exercise together.

If you've never exercised before, you're particularly welcome - so why not give it a go!

Pregnant women need to have had clearance to exercise. If you've already your baby, please wait until after your 6-week check before participating. If you've had a c-section, you can join after 12 weeks. Always check with your midwife or GP before starting any new routine.
