Prenatal and Postnatal Fitness: What Mums in Brighton Should Know
Pregnancy and motherhood are incredible journeys, but the journey is rough on the body. As a prenatal and postnatal female personal trainer in Brighton, I have worked with many mums who wanted to feel strong and healthy again—and I can tell you it is possible. But if you’re looking for help with prenatal fitness in Brighton, you need a PT who helps you feel safe, secure, and supported.
My passion is helping women feel that way. But if you’re apprehensive or just want more insight into why you should consider signing up with a personal trainer, here’s what you should know.
Why Pre & Postnatal Fitness Matters
• To support your body as it changes during pregnancy and through childbirth.
• Helps you recover more smoothly after birth
• Boosts energy and reduces stress
• Builds confidence so you can feel like yourself again.
Prenatal fitness is possible. You just need someone trained and empathetic to create a fitness program for your body. Someone who supports your journey as a mum. Not someone who pushes you beyond what’s good for your body right now.
What to Look for in Pre/Postnatal Trainer in Brighton
Not every personal trainer is qualified to work with mums. That’s a qualification that you don’t want to skip over, though. It could leave you hurt or worse. So, don’t just hire anyone. Here’s what to look for when choosing mum fitness in Brighton:
Qualifications—Look for trainers with pre/postnatal certifications (like yours truly!). I am certified in pre/postnatal fitness, along with training in core strength, functional movement, and nutrition.
Experience—Trainers should understand the unique challenges of pregnancy and postpartum recovery.
Environment—A safe, private space without intimidation of busy, male-dominated gyms.
Personalisation—Every pregnancy and recovery is different. Your training should be unique to you.
Common Myths About Mum Fitness
“You can’t exercise while pregnant.”
Truth: With guidance, safe movement can make pregnancy easier and recovery smoother.
“Bouncing back quickly should be the goal.”
Truth: Postnatal training should focus on strength, recovery, and wellbeing—not pressure to “snap back”.
“You have to choose between yoga and weights.”
Truth: The best postnatal training combines mobility, strength, and balance.
Local Tips for Mums in Brighton Who Want to Stay Fit
Living in Brighton gives mums some amazing fitness options outside of the gym.
I like to tell my clients to enjoy walking on the Brighton seafront, where gentle but powerful cardio for pregnancy and recovery is even easier and more enjoyable. Prenatal yoga classes in Brighton can also be done outdoors and are a great complement to PT sessions.
Small group training sessions can also be helpful. New mums deal with both emotional and physical changes that benefit from group support. Build a community and stay active with group personal training classes.
