Pre & Postnatal Personal Training in Clapham: Stronger Through Every Stage of Motherhood
Pre & Postnatal Personal Training in Clapham: Stronger Through Every Stage of Motherhood
Blog Article
Pregnancy and early motherhood change everything — your schedule, your energy, your priorities, and your body.
Whether you're preparing for labour or rebuilding strength after birth, exercise can be a powerful tool. But it needs to be safe, smart, and supportive.
At Core and More, we offer pre and postnatal personal training in Clapham designed specifically for mums and mums-to-be. We help you move confidently through pregnancy, recover safely postpartum, and feel strong in a body that’s gone through a lot.
Why Pre/Postnatal Fitness Matters
Your body does extraordinary things during pregnancy and postpartum — but it also takes a hit:
- Core and pelvic floor changes
- Hormonal shifts
- Postural imbalances
- Fatigue and stress
- Emotional and mental load
The right kind of movement can:
Reduce pregnancy aches and pains
Support smoother labour and recovery
Rebuild your core safely
Boost energy, mood, and sleep
Give you a sense of you again
But not just any workout will do. You need a specialist — and that’s where we come in.
Certified Pre & Postnatal Trainers in Clapham
At Core and More, our trainers are qualified in pre/postnatal fitness, with hands-on experience helping new and expecting mums feel strong, supported, and safe.
We work with:
- First-time mums
- Experienced mothers
- Women recovering from C-sections
- Women experiencing diastasis recti, prolapse, or pelvic pain
- Anyone who wants to move, heal, and feel strong again
We tailor each session to you, your pregnancy stage, or your recovery journey.
Prenatal Personal Training: Stronger For Birth
Staying active during pregnancy can:
- Reduce back and pelvic pain
- Support posture as your bump grows
- Maintain cardiovascular and muscular strength
- Help prepare for birth physically and mentally
- Speed up postnatal recovery
We adapt each session based on your trimester, energy levels, and comfort. A typical prenatal session includes:
- Gentle mobility and stretching
- Strength work to support the hips, glutes, and back
- Core engagement (without crunches or strain)
- Breathing work and birth prep techniques
- Relaxation and stress reduction
You’ll leave feeling strong, mobile, and empowered.
Postnatal Personal Training: Rebuild with Confidence
The postnatal period (aka the “fourth trimester”) is not the time to "snap back." It’s time to rebuild, with patience and expert care.
We focus on:
- Core and pelvic floor restoration
- Functional strength for baby-carrying and daily tasks
- Addressing abdominal separation (diastasis recti)
- Easing back pain, neck tension, and tight hips
- Boosting confidence and mental wellbeing
Your program will progress safely — from breathwork and posture to full-body strength — depending on your birth experience, clearance from your GP, and energy levels.
We Train Where You Are: Flexible Options for Mums
We know it’s not always easy to leave the house — especially with a baby or toddler in tow.
That’s why we offer flexible training options across Clapham:
- In-home sessions (we bring the equipment)
- Outdoor sessions on Clapham Common
- Buggy-friendly workouts (bring baby along!)
- Partner or small group mum sessions
- Online/remote support when needed
We work around naps, feeds, and real life — because we get it.
Mental Health Support Through Movement
Motherhood can be overwhelming. Many of our clients come to us not just for fitness, but for mental clarity, confidence, and connection.
Our sessions help:
- Reduce anxiety and “mum guilt”
- Create space for you again
- Improve sleep and reduce fatigue
- Build body confidence post-birth
- Offer a moment of calm in a chaotic day
You don’t need to be fit to start. You just need a moment — and we’ll guide the rest.
Client Story: Emma, Mum of Two in Clapham South
“I started training with Core and More 6 weeks after my second baby. I was nervous about my core and had bad back pain. My trainer helped me reconnect to my body slowly, safely, and without pressure.
Now, I feel stronger than I did before either pregnancy — and I look forward to our sessions every week. It’s my time.”
FAQs About Pre/Postnatal Training
Can I train during all trimesters of pregnancy?
Yes — as long as you have medical clearance and feel well, we can train you in all three trimesters with adaptations.
When can I start postnatal training?
After your 6–8 week GP check (or longer for C-section), we’ll assess where you’re at and build from the ground up.
Can I bring my baby to the session?
Absolutely. We love baby-friendly sessions! Outdoor or indoor, we’ll help you move around your little one’s needs.
What if I have diastasis recti or pelvic floor issues?
We’re trained to work with these conditions and will refer to a women’s health physio if needed.

Outdoor Personal Training in Clapham: Fresh Air, Real Results
Gyms aren’t for everyone. Fluorescent lights, crowded machines, and the same four walls day after day? Not exactly motivating.
That’s why more and more people in Clapham are discovering the power of outdoor personal training — and at Core and More, we specialise in bringing the gym to the green.
Whether you want to build strength, lose weight, boost energy, or just feel better in your body, our outdoor personal training sessions in Clapham offer a refreshing, effective alternative to traditional workouts.
Why Train Outdoors in Clapham?
Clapham is one of London’s most scenic and spacious neighbourhoods — and with iconic green spaces like Clapham Common, Wandsworth Common, and tree-lined residential streets, it’s the perfect backdrop for outdoor fitness.
Here’s why our clients love training outdoors:
Fresh air = better mood & energy
No crowds, queues, or gym intimidation
More natural movement
Burn more calories with outdoor variables
Feel connected to nature and your surroundings
Easy to fit in before or after work, or during lunch
We make fitness simple, mobile, and energising.
Who Is Outdoor Personal Training For?
Short answer? Everyone.
Whether you're a complete beginner, returning after a break, or looking to take your fitness to the next level, outdoor training is incredibly adaptable.
We regularly train:
- Busy professionals on their lunch break
- Mums with buggies or kids in tow
- Beginners who want to get fit in a safe, private way
- Runners and cyclists who want strength support
- Friends or couples who want to train together
- Over-50s who value joint-friendly movement in the fresh air
You don’t need experience. You just need a willingness to start.
