Mums & Bubs

 “Exercising with your baby is a great way to develop and reinforce bonding. It’s so healthy for both mums and babies to be outside and in a clean, natural environment. And no baby is too loud or unsettled to attend. Everyone jumps in to take care of the kids and we all support one another to exercise. Everyone is welcome.” ~ Vix

Mums & Bubs Classes specialise in postnatal fitness offering fun and social outdoor group classes to help mums regain and enhance their pre-pregnancy fitness to meet the physical demands of parenthood.

This innovative class was formed over 5 years ago as there was a real need for an innovative fitness program specifically designed for new mums that offers a flexible, fun and social exercise session. Another important reason was to educate mums on the amazing benefits, mentally and physically, of exercising in the fresh air with your baby close by!

Mums & Bubs Classes combines all the elements that a new mum and mum-to-be needs in a fitness program to target specific areas affected by pregnancy. 

Mama Moves offers a specific and unique type of class for this specialised group. 

• Boxercise workout: A circuit format combining Cardio, Boxing, and Total Body Conditioning exercises which Increases Fitness and Weight loss, Stretch & Strengthens your body, Firms your tummy  and creates Long, Lean, Toned  muscles.

Sessions:

The boxercise classes run for one hour and your baby or toddler will be close to you the whole time either in the pram, on a mat or playing with the other children. If your baby does become unsettled I am very relaxed about you stopping and comforting him/her. 

Current Schedule:  

Centennial Park takes advantage of the lush green grounds, so the focus is more on jogging or running (circuit style) combined with boxing and core conditioning.

Bondi Beach classes utilize the soft sand, which definitely takes the workout to new heights! Soft sand benefits are endless. It’s fantastic to burn fat and shape the legs, calves and butt! You can’t complain about that! 

NB: Please check timetable page for class days, times and location.

Praise for Mums & Bubs Classes!

“I first started coming to Mama Moves after the birth of my first daughter. Three years down the track and another daughter in tow, I am still an addicted Mama Moves member.

Vix is a fantastic, highly motivated trainer who really understands how to target the post-baby problem areas. She keeps the classes interesting by changing the mix of cardio, boxing, weights, stairs and stretching each week, and really pushes us to ensure we get the most out of each session. And exercising outdoors really helps clear the mind – rather than being cooped up in a gym.       

For me it’s been the perfect way to get rid of the post baby bulge, and keep it off. Plus I’ve made some fantastic friends along the way who I look forward to seeing each week.I would highly recommend Mama Moves to anyone looking to get into shape, and stay that way.”

“I started working out with Mama Moves one year ago after recovering from a caesarean. In that time, I have lost 15 kgs and over 80cms off my body by attending Mama Moves twice a week and following a sensible eating plan. I am even 5 kgs lighter than I was when I fell pregnant. Now I feel the stronger and fitter than I ever have before. I have struggled with my weight for the past ten years, joining numerous exercise programs and gyms. None of which I stuck with for more than a month. So it says a lot to me that I have stuck with Mama Moves for over a year. Vix is the best trainer I have ever worked with. She is very supportive & encouraging and she makes exercising fun, even though it is hard work. She is also great with the babies, which makes it so easy for a new mother to attend her classes. Mama Moves is also a great place to meet other mums with similar interests whose bubs are similar in age to yours. I recommend Mama Moves to all mums who want to get back into shape.”

“Mum and I started Mama Moves just before I turned 3 months old. I used to sleep most of the time at the start while mum got really fit and then I started getting into it to. I'm nearly 11 months now and I've started doing the downward dog just like mum. My friend Sophia also tries to do it to but she's not as good as me. Mum and I look forward to Mama Moves every week. It's our special time where we have a laugh, meet our friends, and do a bit of exercise. Thanks Vix! You’re the best!”
