Pre and Postnatal Personal Training in Clapham: Safe, Supportive Fitness for Mums
Blog Article
Pregnancy and motherhood are powerful, life-changing experiences — but they also bring big changes to your body, energy, and routine. At Core and More, we know that staying active during and after pregnancy can help you feel stronger, more balanced, and better prepared for the physical and emotional journey of motherhood.
That’s why we offer specialised pre and postnatal personal training right here in Clapham. Whether you’re expecting your first baby or navigating life with a newborn, our certified trainers provide safe, personalised fitness plans designed for your unique stage and needs.
Why Pre and Postnatal Training Matters
Pregnancy and the postpartum period are not times to “bounce back” or “push through.” They’re times to support your body, not punish it.
With the right kind of training, you can:
- Manage aches and pains (like back, hip, or pelvic discomfort)
- Maintain healthy weight gain during pregnancy
- Prepare your body for labour and delivery
- Restore core strength and pelvic floor control after birth
- Rebuild your confidence, safely and steadily
This isn’t about high intensity or aesthetics. It’s about feeling good in your body and building lasting strength — from the inside out.
Certified, Compassionate Coaching
Not all trainers are qualified for pre/postnatal fitness. At Core and More, our team is:
- Fully certified in pre and postnatal personal training
- Trained in diastasis recti and pelvic floor support
- Experienced in working with mums at all stages
- Compassionate, flexible, and focused on your wellbeing
We understand that every pregnancy and birth is different. That’s why we listen first — then build your programme around your experience, your needs, and your comfort level.
Prenatal Training: Move With Confidence During Pregnancy
Many pregnant women are unsure whether they should be exercising. The truth is — in most cases, movement is beneficial, and often recommended by healthcare professionals.
Our prenatal programmes help with:
- Reducing back and joint pain
- Boosting energy and mood
- Improving posture and circulation
- Supporting strength for labour and delivery
- Managing gestational weight gain
We prioritise low-impact strength training, breathing, balance, and flexibility — while making adjustments based on your trimester and how you're feeling.
And if you’re dealing with pregnancy symptoms like nausea, fatigue, or pelvic pain? We adapt. Every session is flexible and paced to suit you.
Postnatal Training: Rebuild, Restore, Reclaim Your Strength
After birth, your body deserves support — not pressure.
Many new mums feel frustrated by how much their body has changed, but the goal of postnatal fitness isn’t to “get your old body back.” It’s to rebuild a stronger, more functional body for this next chapter of your life.
Our postnatal plans focus on:
- Healing and reconnecting with your core
- Strengthening your pelvic floor
- Correcting posture and alignment
- Increasing energy and stamina
- Easing back into movement — with no rush or shame
Whether you had a vaginal or C-section birth, we’ll adjust your plan based on your recovery and timeline, always in consultation with your GP or midwife clearance.
No Childcare? No Problem.
We understand that getting to a gym — or even leaving the house — can be tough with a baby. That’s why our personal training sessions can happen:
- In your home or garden
- On Clapham Common, with your baby in the buggy
- At a time that fits around naps, feeds, and your real-life routine
We work with your schedule and offer a judgment-free, flexible approach. Babies cry. Toddlers interrupt. It’s all part of it — and we fully support you through it.
It’s About More Than Just Exercise
Yes, we help you move better. But we also support your mental wellbeing, confidence, and identity.
Pregnancy and postpartum can feel isolating. You may not feel like “yourself.” Having a trainer who truly understands what you’re going through can be a lifeline, not just a fitness routine.
Clients tell us:
- They feel more “in control” of their bodies
- They’re better able to cope with tiredness and stress
- Their mood improves with just a couple sessions a week
