Fitmama Women'S Health & Fitness Description
The FitMama Method is designed to help ladies through all physical phases of womanhood, from pre-concention to pregnancy and well beyond. Covering all aspects of wellbeing in preparation for motherhood, exercise and weight management.
Whether you want private sessions or to join classes with other women, we have a solution for you, to suit your lifestyle and help you achieve your goals.
We are the first studio in the UK to offer the revolutionary abdominal sculpting technique called The Hypopresive Method. We use this to aid repair following childbirth, abdominal surgery, prolapse and incontinence.
We are also the longest established pregnancy fitness and birthing specialists in the area. Our pregnancy classes are based on The FitMama Method which is published by Souvenir Press and written by Co-Director of this studio, Marie Behenna.
Alongside of our specialities, we teach a variety of cutting edge functional exercise (using Kettlebells, Bulgarian Bags, Powerbags, Battle ropes, TRX bands, ViPR tubes and much more) to enable you to achieve your weight loss and fitness goals in a safe, challenging and effective style.

Tomorrow this FitMama™️ baby of mine is turning 6 years old. He is so excited!! I am only just starting to feel physically normal again! Women rush to get back to “normal”, but the body takes time to regenerate itself, and even then, the conditions need to be right. Good nutrition, stress reducing techniques, plenty of hydration, safe post birth exercise... and that elusive friend, sleep! Maybe that’s why it’s taken me six years, lol! Try not to put yourself under pressure, find the safest way to recover and be kind to your body... photography Cristina Barton
