New Pregnant Princess & Yummy Mummy Club!
As many of you know, we welcome pregnant women and new Mums to all our usual outdoor workout classes. Babies can be bought to the sessions in buggies and we sometimes have women who are still training with us the week before they give birth, this is because we always provide alternatives and women love being in our fun and friendly environment!
However, we know that Pregnant Princesses and new Yummy Mummys, like to experience tailor made group classes and be given advice, so this Spring and Summer, we will be adding the following:
-
Specific pre/post natal classes, around our usual outdoor workouts
-
Pre/post natal mini courses that include exercise and nutrition chit chat
-
Pre/post natal lifestyle MOT sessions (in small groups and on 1:1 basis)
In the meantime, the best classes for yummy mummys (if you want to bring your baby along with you!) are the following:

All classes are 1 hour (but you can take a few mins out to rest if you need to!) and don’t forget the weekend classes which you are more than welcome to come to!
Pregnant Princess/Yummy Mummy Lifestyle MOT’s
A lifestyle MOT is a fantastic way to see how you can boost health, energy, mood and vitality by getting a tailor-made action plan and bespoke advice to ensure you sparkle from top to toe, inside & out.
Janey found that when she was pregnant, she had to create a new relationship with her body and listen to what it was asking for in terms of eating, exercise and also how to deal with emotions. Keeping stress & worry at bay, learning to relax, getting into Mum mode, managing food cravings and maintaining a healthy eating program to maximise nutrients to her twins and minimise uneccessary weight gain was an interesting learning curve. Despite complications and the risk of a very premature birth, Janey used her healthy living principles to get her through her pregnancy and deliver 2 very healthy boys!
As a new Mum, Janey knew she had to be as healthy as possible, both mentally and physically to deal with tiredness, two babies at once and juggling work pressures of running her own business! She wanted to get back into shape without fad diets or vigorous training and using her healthy living principles was able to ping back into shape in just a few months. Being a calm mum is being a happy Mum so learning how to deal with your change in circumstance is just as important and will help you enjoy your experience more!

Quotes from our Pregnant and Yummy Mummy Princesses
Here are some quotes from our clients who have trained with us when pregnant or who have recently had a baby:

"About 12 weeks after the birth of my first child I really wanted to ditch my elasticated maternity jeans and take the first steps towards reclaiming my wardrobe. Being a reluctant gym attendee at the best of times the thought of going to one dressed in my lumpy lycra and taking the plunge on my own did not appeal. Added to which I had to factor in the cost of the crèche every time I went!
Looking at other options the thought of hardcore army-style workouts and obligatory grunts intimidated me slightly so when I was told about FFAP and spoke to Janey about coming along I got a good feeling straight away, and I wasn’t wrong. From my first FFAP class I was made to feel incredibly welcome by the ever sunny Janey and also by the legions of mums who had ‘been there done that and hadn’t slept either.’ I was encouraged to take things at my own pace and was given one on one attention for certain exercises that were tricky for a C-Section tummy. Initially it is a struggle, thanks to the endless waking patches in a new baby’s night, but I was surprised by how quickly I found myself doing the harder options and finding I had more energy each class to push myself. Also, if my daughter woke at an inopportune moment or if we were sent on a mini run, Janey was always on hand to jiggle the pram or wait by it as we went on our way. After 4 months of trying to go 3 classes a week and eating the kinds of foods Janey suggested I shed the 2 stone I had set as my goal and I felt fab.
Second time around I went to classes whilst pregnant and did the modified exercises which certainly helped my post baby shape. Now however, the real battle has commenced again, there may be more great trainers with ever more testing moves but that same encouragement, pram jiggling and general female camaraderie are as reliably there as the dog walkers on Wandsworth Common." Becky Larkin
"Exercise, fresh air and fun are all important ingredients whether you are pregnant or getting back into activities after your postnatal babymoon. You can save time by getting all three at once in a Fit for a Princess class!" A.Francis - Independent Midwife
