I’m thinking of starting a mum and baby class in which babies are welcome, in fact the class is centred around baby, no need to worry about childcare/ having time to workout because they can come along and no pressure if you need to feed/change/baby is fussing. A relaxed judgement free environment in which mums can exercise and socialise together.
I’d maybe do a few different types of classes, so a baby wearing one, a class to bring toddlers (a bit more chaotic maybe with a play corner) one were babies can lie safely on the mat in front/in a bouncer, then maybe even a mummy and toddler yoga session.
Is this something you would be interested in as a new mummy? I’m trying to see if there is an audience for it before I commit

I was interested in these sorts of classes, just couldn’t afford them. Near me there’s one called “fit mama” or “fit mumma”

I'm a trained baby wearing peer supporter. I've often seen unsafe fits of babies in carriers at these sorts of classes. So I would consider some sort of babywearing training for yourself so that you can offer support to parents using carriers and keep everyone safe

I did work out classes with baby through mat leave and it was great!! It was somewhere you could get lunch after too, so lovely and social

I went to mummy and baby yoga and it was great. Babies on mats next to you. Most slept in their blankets/car seats, mums could stop to feed, crawlers were allowed. It was really nice and supportive.

I've been doing a mum and baby pilates class, and before this I did reformer at the same place. The reformer was too expensive to carry on at £85 for 5 sessions 😅 but I really enjoy it. It's not very challenging which I know will suit some people, but I'm one of those weirdos that likes the burn in the class and to feel the DOMS two days later 😅🤦♀️
Id be interested in a baby friendly gym where I can do higher intensity workouts and be able to take her with me, but imagine that would be tough to make work 🤷♀️

Where are you located I’d love to go if you’re in miami!

I looked into these but couldn’t find one close enough as I don’t drive and rely on buses and walking but
I would love to go to one
