Thanks so much Kath & FitNest, you’ve honestly helped me feel so much more prepared and confident about my first pregnancy and birth! xx

As someone who is 12 months postnatal I found the classes surprisingly challenging and a great balance between strength and core. I loved that the exercises could be tailored to my current level of ability and goals.
