I’ve Been There - And That’s Why This Baby and Me Fitness Class Exists

As a mum of two young boys, I truly understand that postnatal period. It’s magical. It’s overwhelming. It’s exhausting. It’s beautiful and anxious all at the same time.

The idea of organising childcare just to attend a workout? Sometimes that’s the biggest barrier of all. That’s why I honestly believe bringing your baby along is a golden ticket. No packing them off. No stressing about naps lining up perfectly. No guilt.

Just show up, as you are.

And just to be clear - this isn’t a “use your baby as a kettlebell” class. That’s not my bag. Your little one can chill on a mat, explore safely, or simply stay close to you, while you focus on your own body for 45 minutes.

Because even that small amount of time focused on your own strength and health? It’s worth everything.

Why Postnatal Exercise Matters (And Why It Needs to Be Safe)

Before starting any postnatal exercise class, always get clearance from your GP or midwife. And if you’ve experienced birth trauma, pelvic pain or ongoing issues, seek professional advice - especially from a women’s health physio, here’s a great one.

As a qualified personal trainer specialising in women’s health, my Baby & Me class includes:

• Gentle cardio to rebuild cardiovascular fitness

• Strengthening exercises tailored for postnatal bodies

• Focused pelvic floor work

• Core rehabilitation principles

• Posture correction for feeding/carrying baby

The postnatal period is not a race back to “pre-baby shape.” It’s a time to rebuild properly.

The benefits of safe postnatal fitness include:

✔ Improving cardiovascular fitness

✔ Gradual and healthy weight management

✔ Rebuilding abdominal strength safely

✔ Improving posture

✔ Boosting energy levels

✔ Increasing confidence

✔ Reducing anxiety

✔ Supporting better sleep

✔ Lowering risk of postnatal depression

It’s not about shrinking yourself. It’s about strengthening yourself.

What Other Mums Say

“Excellent class, Susan is brill and it’s great to be able to bring babies and even toddlers along without worrying too much about them making noise! I have sore legs (in a good way) every week! Thanks Susan!”

“Susan’s fitness class is great. I can take my baby along with me too, which makes attending possible! She is also very understanding that I have ongoing hip problems and I think I’ll benefit from her expertise!”

That’s what this class is about - realistic, supportive movement in a space where babies can be babies.

It’s About Community, Not ‘Getting Your Body Back’

I don’t run this class to chase the “get back into shape” narrative.

I run it because new mums deserve:

• Community

• Expert guidance

• A safe environment

• Time for themselves

You’re not here to punish your body. You’re here to rebuild, reconnect, and feel stronger in it.

And a big part of that is community. I regularly invite other trusted local businesses and specialists along, from physios to sleep coaches and doctors, so mums can access support beyond just fitness. I’ve built strong relationships with women’s health professionals in Edinburgh, because proper postnatal care is holistic. You deserve access to the right experts at the right time.

More Than Just a Fitness Class

This is a space where babies can nap, toddle, or make noise. Nobody minds.

It’s where mums can exhale a little, calm that nervous system and just be.

It’s where you can focus on your body in a way that feels strengthening, not stressful.

And yes, you might leave with sore legs - in the best possible way.

If you’re looking for a postnatal fitness class in Edinburgh that understands real life, this is it.
