TRAINING DURING & AFTER THE PREGNANCY

Intensity: ALL Levels
What we offer: A challenging yet tailored workout led by professional English speaking trainers. We ensure the exercises match your level and explain the physical changes you're experiencing during pregnancy and after giving birth. Our sessions include enjoyable cardio routines, full-body workouts, and a special focus on strengthening your core and pelvic floor muscles.
