Unfortunately, not all GP’s will give a 6-8 week postnatal check up! However, you will need to sign a health declaration stating that you are fit, healthy and that you’ll be the required number of weeks postnatal by the start date. You must take full responsibility for your health when you join the Phase1 programme. Any health concerns must be stated on your submitted forms before the programme begins.

We strongly advise any mum to see their GP or specialist physiotherapist if they think they may have a pelvic organ prolapse. This is to ensure that they are properly diagnosed and managed appropriately. The programme is suitable for those who have mild-moderate prolapse with the focus on strengthening the pelvic floor muscles. As always, exercises will be modified to suit individual needs as appropriate.

The programmes have been specifically designed to cater for mums who have DR. Modifications will be applied to suit every individual and their needs throughout both programmes. We highly recommend every mum to get a full Postnatal check by a women’s health physio!

Absolutely, we advise you to join either a face to face or zoom programme so that our coaches can see you and provide you with specific modifications.

The recordings will be made available for 2 weeks, this helps with accountability and making sure you don’t fall too far behind.

Yes of course! Phase1 is specifically designed to cater for all fitness and ability levels, the programme gradually intensifies week by week. The programme includes a full technique session in week 1 to ensure everyone knows how to move safely and effectively. We will coach you through every move, every step of the way and we will always provide modifications for every mum at their own fitness level.

We keep the groups small to a maximum of 8. This enables the coaches to provide the one-to-one feel and also allows for friendships to happen in an environment that doesn’t feel overwhelming.

Phase1 is the perfect starting place for anyone who is starting their fitness journey or returning after having children. Whether you’re recently postnatal or whether your children are much older. Every mum is welcome!

To start with Phase1, the recommended guidelines are 6 weeks after natural delivery and 12 weeks after a caesarean with GP clearance

Currently we operate out of Portadown, Maghaberry, South Belfast and Armagh locations.

No, on rare occasions we may allow this but only when it has been discussed and approved by the respective coaches.

We will try to slot you into another group to make up a session if possible, however due to the progressive stages of the programme this may not always be possible. Zoom is now an alterative too.

Most definitely! Bodyfit Mums is a breastfeeding friendly zone and always will be! Babies need feeding so you can just join back in after they’ve finished!
