Based on the latest research, the class will offer guidance, advice and solutions to help mums across the city enjoy the social and psychological benefits of getting out and being active.
Ally Flannigan, Fitness Class Manager, said: “Getting back into exercise after having a baby can be an uphill struggle. With reduced sleep and trying to get into a new routine, exercise may seem like the last thing on a new mother’s mind.
“However our new class, which will take place outdoors, is designed to be fun, and will be a great opportunity to meet new mums and dads and workout at the same time.”
