Pregnancy & movement
Here for every stage
If you're feeling good and your doctor has approved it, you're welcome in our classes. Here's how we'll support you.
Currently pregnant?
Congratulations!
Doctor-approved
If your pregnancy is free of complications and you feel good to move, join any open-level class.
Props & prenatal options
We follow up-to-date guidelines, have special props, and instructors offer prenatal options whenever you need them.
Where to start
First time? We recommend MOVE (reformer) or CIRCUIT (sweat studio). We don't recommend the infrared hot studio during pregnancy.
Safety first
When should I stop?
It depends on the individual. Follow the Physical Activity Guidelines for Pregnancy. Stop exercising and seek medical attention if you have:
- Chest pain
- Unexplained shortness of breath
- Dizziness, feeling faint or headache
- Muscle weakness
- Calf pain, swelling or redness
- Sudden swelling of ankles, hands or face
- Vaginal bleeding or amniotic fluid loss
- Decreased fetal movement
- Contractions or pain in the lower back, pelvis or abdomen
What can and can't I do?
It depends on your stage of pregnancy. We'll talk you through it in your first class, and if something doesn't feel good, stop and we'll give you an option.

After bub arrives
We always recommend a women's health physio check before returning to exercise. Then join us with your little one.
