Pregnancy Exercise, Pre-Natal Fitness Training Newcastle

WellFit’s Prenatal Program will support you through to child-birth and far into your fit-mum journey.

Today it is more commonly known that exercise during pregnancy is safe and encouraged! However, the specifics of exercise can be very grey. Exercise selection and the intensity of the workouts are the two main factors that require an individualised approach.

At WellFit we understand how mentally and physically challenging the Prenatal period can. That’s why over the years we have continually refined our process. All of our programs are now based on 1 on 1 Personal Training and overseen by an exercise physiologist. We have found this program allows us to adjust along with the fluctuating demands of pregnancy and also leaves our clients with that positive feeling of satisfaction in every session.

Benefits of Prenatal Exercise

Reduces Back Pain – Some two-thirds of pregnant women experience back pain but pelvic exercises and strengthening exercises can assist in reducing this. Exercise during the second half of pregnancy seems to be especially helpful.
Improves mood – pregnancy can be equally as tough on mind and body. Exercise will help to increase serotonin levels, which is a chemical related to your good moods.
Improves self image –Exercise can help you feel better about yourself and also to make sure you are gaining healthy weight.
Faster Return to Pre-Baby Body – this is a huge reason to partake in exercise throughout your pregnancy. If you can maintain strength and muscle tone up until close to labour, your body will have a much easier time in rebounding following the birth.
Lowers blood pressure
Boosts energy
Improves Quality of sleep
Prepare you for childbirth – childbirth has been compared to running a marathon, which requires stamina, determination, and focus. Being fitter and stronger can only assist in getting you through this process.
Assist in maintaining good posture
You lower your gestational diabetes risk by as much as 27 percent – overweight newborns of mothers with gestational diabetes are more likely to develop diabetes later in life.
You’re more likely to avoid a forceps delivery, C-section or other intervention – Regular exercisers are 75 percent less likely to need a forceps delivery, 55 percent less likely to have an episiotomy and up to four times less likely to have a Cesarean section.
Exercise during pregnancy benefits not just the mother’s heart, but her baby’s heart as well. Exercise during pregnancy can be the first action a mother makes to improve the cardiovascular health of her baby.

5 simple keys to your success

Avoid the crowds

Gyms in Newcastle can become very crowded, especially in peak times. In our private personal training studio, there are never more than a handful of fitness trainers running 1-on-1 sessions at a time. Even the group fitness sessions are limited to small numbers and there is usually no contracts.

Focused sessions

Good Personal Trainers work closely with their clients to achieve outstanding results. Working within a private studio means that there are no distractions and full focus can be given to you. Wellfit’s fitness professionals will never stop to talk to their friends or watch tv during your workout. Full attention is given to the client at all times.

Trainers who care

WellFit’s Personal Trainers know what they’re doing. We only hire fully qualified & experienced trainers who have helped people achieve outstanding rapid weight loss & fitness results in the past. Our focus is you, not pumping through sessions for a higher commision like some commercial gyms.

Monitor your results!

Because private fitness studios have less clients, they are able to put more time in, & pay more attention to, their clients. Private fitness trainers are also able to keep a close eye on your progress so that you never lose sight of your weight loss & fitness goals.

Moral support

Confidence & Self-Esteem are often overlooked by fitness ‘professionals’ when dealing with clients. However, these two factors are actually the key to achieving long-term success for your body. In a private personal training environment, you don’t have to be self-conscious about who is watching you workout or what you look like on the treadmill.
