Pre & Post Natal Training
We have trained many women through pregnancy and beyond, at in2great fitness. As movement specialists, we understand the changing mechanics and posture pregnancy creates, and the physical demands a mother faces through this huge transformation.
A healthy, functional body is key to a comfortable pregnancy, labor, post-natal recovery, and of course a healthy baby. As a mothers resources are diverted towards growing a whole new being, the path to labor can be exhausting an overwhelming. Movement is imperative to a healthy and pain free life, and in pregnancy it becomes even more important.
A mother picks up her child on average 58 times a day, that’s worth training for so that you can do it safely, and prevent injury. Movement is anti-inflammatory and helps increase circulation, optimise hormones, reduce pain, and helps every single body system function better, which is always a great thing when you are growing a new human!
Traditional pregnancy exercises tend to be centred around floor work, pelvic floor strength, or very basic isolation type strength exercises, but these leave a lot to be desired in building a healthy, happy and resilient mamma’s body!

Both Personal Training & Classes Are Suitable For Pregnancy
Whether your preference is 1:1 training, or you enjoy the group fitness vibe, we can help you thrive during pregnancy and beyond. Personal training might be the best option for you if you are struggling with aches and pain, or are new to training. In post natal sessions we offer off-peak time slots to allow new mum to bring their bubs with them to help get the healthy movement they need.
If classes are more your style, we recommend the following classes during pregnancy:
ZONE Circuit provides you with a heart rate monitor to ensure you and your baby are safe. Zone Circuit is a circuit style class of full body movements, assorted tools and equipment for strength, mobility, efficiency and enjoyment. It also includes Powerplate Vibration (calves only during pregnancy.)
ViPR Class is a full body movement based workout that feeds your body a variety of angles, forces and speeds to create full body strength, enhance fascial fitness and overall resilience.
TRX class is a whole body, body weight based class using the TRX suspension trainer. It’s fully adjustable to all levels, and can easily be regressed, making it ideal during pregnancy. It’s a 30 minute class that enhances body weight strength with more traditional moves like lunges, squats etc. TRX is the pregnancy favourite!
DE-STRESS DE-FUZZ is a low intensity class designed to help you reduce pain, and increase mobility and efficiency. We use vibration, fascial release strategies, mobilisers, body weight movements and more.

“Training during pregnancy is hugely important to me. Carrying a child and giving birth has to be the most physically and mentally demanding time for a woman’s body. And having a body that recovers quickly and feels well post birth is of even higher priority as you then have a new (very high demanding) family member to support! I know that by training at In2great Fitness I have my bases covered. The training style that you get to experience with Nathan and Priscilla is thorough, inclusive (even if you’re the only prenatal client in a group session), smart and fun! Having to wear a heart rate monitor during all sessions allows me to know when to take the pressure off and better understand how my body should be working during this time. Nathan and Priscilla also consider the importance of pelvic floor health - nothing is missed! I’m feeling a lot stronger and even better prepared both mentally and physically than my first pregnancy and look forward to a healthy and strong birth, and post natal period."

“Training at In2great fitness during my pregnancy has allowed me to stay active and make any necessary modifications under the guidance of Nathan and Priscilla. The heart rate monitor technology allows me to know when to reduce intensity to stay safe during training and the vibration training is really helpful for recovery. I’m really looking forward to continuing training at In2great for the remainder of my pregnancy and post partum."

“I was warned by my obstetrician at the start of my fourth pregnancy that I would have additional pressure on my hips and pelvis due to my age and number of pregnancies. However training at In2Great Fitness helped me to avoid any issues or pain at all. I trained all the way up to last week of the pregnancy.
Using the heart rate monitor, vibration training and low intensity exercise helped me to feel great through the whole pregnancy and recover quickly from my sessions. I also took their advice to stop eating sugar, dairy and gluten which I think helped to avoid fatigue and fogginess and best of all reduced weigh gain.
I would highly recommend Nathan and Priscilla for their ability to tailor a training session for exactly what you need so you can keep moving. This pregnancy was by far the best out of the four."
