Mums In Motion

I’m Fran — the PT behind Mums in Motion.
 
But I’m not just the person standing at the front telling you to do another 10 squats. 😂
 
I’m a mum too.
 
I understand that motherhood can make exercise feel very different.
 
Your time is different.
 
Your priorities are different.
 
Your body may feel different.
 
And sometimes your baby has other plans for your workout!
 
That’s exactly why I wanted Mums in Motion to feel different from a generic fitness class.
 
It’s a place where you can bring your baby, be yourself, ask questions, take breaks and gradually get stronger.
 
And yes, we’ll work hard too. 💪🏻
 
But we’ll have a laugh along the way.

I didn’t become a PT because I’ve always been obsessed with fitness.
 
I became a PT because I love seeing what happens when someone starts believing in what their body can do.
 
The woman who didn’t think she was strong enough…
 
Who suddenly lifts a heavier weight.
 
The mum who hasn’t exercised in years…
 
Who realises she actually can do this.
 
The person who walks into a session lacking confidence…
 
And leaves feeling capable.
 
That’s the bit I love.
 
And over the years, I’ve realised that I especially love helping women through the different stages of life — particularly pregnancy, postnatal life and motherhood.
 
Because exercise isn’t just about what your body looks like.
 
It’s about feeling strong enough to carry your baby.
 
Confident enough to try something new.
 
Capable enough to keep up with everyday life.
 
And having something that’s just for you.
 
That’s why Mums in Motion exists. 💜

Mums in Motion — Pregnancy & Postnatal Fitness 🤍

Summer can be a lovely time to slow down, reset, and make a little space for yourself.

If you’ve been thinking about getting back into exercise…

…but you don’t want:
❌ Pressure
❌ Intense workouts
❌ To jump straight back into “normal” classes

Then Mums in Motion might be for you.

These classes are designed especially for pregnant and postnatal mums who want to move their bodies again in a safe, supportive environment.

Mums in Motion is a gentle, supportive fitness class designed to help you:
✨ Rebuild strength safely
✨ Support your core and pelvic floor
✨ Move at your own pace — with options and rest
✨ Feel more confident in your body again
✨ Babies are very welcome — they can come along, feed, nap, wriggle or watch while you move

There’s no expectation to be “fit”.
No rushing recovery.
And no pressure to do more than feels right for you.

If you’ve been following along this week and thinking…
 
“Actually, that sounds like somewhere I’d feel comfortable.”
 
I’d love to have you join us. 💜
 
You don’t need to be fit.
 
You don’t need to know anyone.
 
You don’t need to know what you’re doing.
 
Your baby doesn’t need to sleep through the whole class.
 
And you don’t even need to arrive perfectly on time! 😂
 
And your first class is completely FREE. 🎉
 
So there’s no need to commit to a block of classes or wonder whether it’s right for you.
 
Just come along, see what it’s like and give it a go.
 
Come as you are. I’ll take care of the rest.

Send me a DM with “MOTION” and I’ll send you the details and your free class code. 💜

They might:

👶 Sleep
👶 Feed
👶 Watch you
👶 Need a cuddle
👶 Cry
👶 Suddenly decide they need ALL of your attention 😂

And that’s completely okay.

Your baby doesn’t need to sleep peacefully next to you for you to get something from the class.

You might stop halfway through an exercise.

You might miss an exercise completely.

You might spend 10 minutes cuddling or feeding your baby and then get back to it.

That’s not a problem. That’s postnatal life.

There is no expectation that you’ll complete the class without interruptions.

Your baby is welcome here too. 💜

So come as you are, and take the breaks you need.

No pressure. No judgement. Just mums getting stronger, one class at a time. 💪💜

Because getting yourself and a baby out of the house on time isn't always straightforward. 😂

Nappy change.

Feed.

Where are my keys?!

Baby has done another poo.

Where's the other shoe?!

We've all been there.

So if you arrive late to Mums in Motion, you haven't missed your chance to join in.

Come in.

Get settled.

I'll let you know what we're doing and you can jump in when you're ready.

No judgement.

No awkward explanation.

No need to feel like everyone is watching you.

Just come in and get involved.

Because motherhood doesn't always run to schedule.

And neither does your workout. 💜

You really don’t need loads of fancy equipment to get stronger.
 
At Mums in Motion, we keep things simple.
 
Most of our strength exercises use dumbbells, alongside our mats for floor-based and core exercises.
 
And for mums who have been coming for a while and are ready to progress, we might introduce a small barbell for a handful of exercises.
 
That’s it!
 
And importantly, you don’t need to know how to use any of it before you come.
 
I’ll show you what to do, help you choose an appropriate weight and give you options depending on where you’re at.
 
Because you don’t need to walk through the door already knowing how to strength train.
 
That’s what you’re here to learn. 💜
 
Have you ever avoided a fitness class because you weren’t sure you’d know what to do? 👇

If you’ve never been to Mums in Motion before, you might have lots of little questions.
 
What happens when I arrive?
Where do I put my baby?
What if they’re unsettled?
What if I’m late?
Will I know anyone?
 
So this week, I’m taking you behind the scenes of a Mums in Motion class.
 
Because I want you to know that there is no such thing as a “perfect” class.
 
Sometimes babies sleep.
 
Sometimes they don’t.
 
Sometimes we get through the whole workout.
 
Sometimes we stop for feeds, cuddles and nappy changes.
 
Sometimes someone arrives late.
 
And that’s all completely normal.
 
This is real life with a baby.
 
You don’t need to have everything figured out before you come.
 
You already belong before you walk through the door. 💜
