On Moving Mums will an instructor take me through the gym workout?

No, the workout card is designed for you to take with you to the gym and follow the exercises set. If you are unsure how to perform one of them, an instructor can show you how it’s done – please just ask.

What happens on Moving Mums if I need to leave the class because my child won’t settle?

If you leave up to 15 minutes after the class start time, a manager can authorise a voucher for your next paid session and offer to book you on to the following weeks class. If you leave after 15 minutes, unfortunately the voucher will not be available.

Can I feed my baby during the a Moving Mums class?

Yes, there will be some chairs available in the room for feeding, and you can feed before, during or after the supported activities classes. We allocate at least 15 minutes after the session has finished before any other group needs to enter, so you can gather your belongings or feed.

What can I bring to keep my baby occupied while I exercise?

Bring a minimal number of toys, all of which stay within your workout space. Please don’t bring toys that may roll into other people’s workout space. If you would like to bring a seat/bouncer for your child, that would also be allowed.

How long can I attend post-partum for?

The instructor will assess participants individually and encourage them to move on to KAL’s Fitness Timetable from the Moving Mums session when they think you are ready. Maximum attendance period would be up to one year after the birth of your child.

How much do the Moving Mums sessions cost?

All activities other than 1-1 Personal Training are free as part of a KAL Fitness membership. Flexi Card holders and non-members are subject to the usual exercise class and activity costs.

I’m pregnant and unsure if I should exercise or which activities to book?

When you self-refer, you’ll get a courtesy call from us and we’ll be happy to answer any questions you may have, alternatively you can contact us by email referral.admin@kal.org.uk

I’m a new mum; can I bring my baby with me?

Yes, in all of our postnatal sessions you have the option of bringing your baby along. They must be next to you in your workout space and be under crawling age.

How soon after having a baby can I take part in any Moving Mums session?

Everybody is different; therefore, you must be cleared by a medical professional (midwife/doctor/nurse) before taking part in any exercise postpartum. Once this is confirmed, you can attend from 6 weeks+ for vaginal birth, and 12 weeks+ for c-section birth. This is included in the booking comments of each class.
