EXERCISING IN PREGNANCY
Build strength, relieve discomfort and prepare for birth and beyond
THE PREGNANCY PROGRAM: Your online tool to building strength, fitness and feeling confident all through pregnancy
Wohoo, you’re pregnant - many congratulations - it’s time to start moving! It's great to see that you’re focusing on staying active during your pregnancy. The Pregnancy Program is here to help you build strength and feel ready for pregnancy, birth and beyond through a series of online classes - all from the comfort of your own home.
PREGNANCY IS A BEAUTIFUL JOURNEY BUT…
Let’s be real: it’s exhausting and simply trying to make it through the day, let alone finding time to exercise can feel impossible.
You want to feel strong, energised, comfortable and prepare your body for the baby's arrival, but you’re not sure where to start. So let’s get moving!
Right now you might be feeling a little anxious or worried about what you can and can’t do - so let me help you!
You might be feeling a little confused and overwhelmed by all the different workout advice out there or what if you do something ‘wrong’ - I know I was!
You want to feel strong and healthy—for you and for your baby.
You know staying active is important, but it’s hard to find the right exercises that are safe for pregnancy and fit into your busy life.
You’re also not just thinking about now—you want to strengthen your body for childbirth and postnatal recovery, as that all starts in pregnancy.
It’s worrying when all your friends say things like:
“pain is just part of pregnancy” and “its exhausting”
or you think “I’ve not time” or “I’m too tired”
- so time to put those comments to one side, because with the help of this program, yours will be a process of empowerment and strength!
You are not broken, you’re pregnant - so let’s own this moment.
Let’s see what is actually possible in pregnancy when you exercise:
You can build strength (when everyone else tells you you lose it)
You can feel more energised
You can move through pregnancy with less discomfort
You can feel strong for labour, your recovery & life with baby after birth
You can know exercise is benefiting both you and your baby
You can feel safe knowing the workouts are tailored to your exact stage in pregnancy
YOU CAN DO MORE THAN YOU THINK YOU CAN DURING PREGNANCY
Yes, you are ready to move through your pregnancy with more ease, less discomfort, and feeling stronger every day, right up to birth.
You’ll have more energy to enjoy this special time, feel confident in your changing body, and know you’re doing everything you can to support your body and baby.
Exercising in pregnancy is not only important but is thoroughly recommended by both the HSE and NHS, it is safe to do and you can do a lot more than you probably think!
Yes you CAN feel strong, in fact you can actually build strength throughout pregnancy! You can also feel comfortable in your own skin and ready for the journey ahead as your body will change and adapt as the weeks go on.
You can make exercising in your pregnancy an empowering process of building strength and staying active, right to the end but also something you look forward to doing - so if you’re ready, then you’re in the right place.

Welcome to the world of strength & resistance training in pregnancy! The NHS recommend 150 minutes of exercise per week including 3 sessions a week with resistance, and these will definitely count towards that, and more!
The workouts are designed for all levels of fitness in pregnancy, whether you have exercised before or just starting, it is why I suggest you have two different weight ranges so you can modify with heavier or lighter weights depending on energy, and experience.
NEVER feel pressured to use resistance and you can perform the workouts using just bodyweight.
-
Dont worry if you haven't exercised since finding out you were pregnant. This is the case for many of us due to tiredness, anxiety and nausea. It’s why the program starts from 10 weeks as realistically, before that, exercise should be gentle and more infrequent to honour your energy levels.
The program is designed in a way to introduce you into pregnancy safe and specific exercise if you took some time off. As you work through the blocks the workouts can build in intensity, but there is never any pressure to use resistance nor do things like the 'Optional Finisher'. You build strength from the get go, but at your own pace.
-
Unless you have contraindications to exercise explained to you by your consultant/GP, then the workouts are safe for during pregnancy, right up until your due date. It is important to follow the workouts according to the corresponding week you are in.
The workouts are clearly labeled according to weeks and blocks of pregnancy but if you have any doubt, please message me or check with your consultant/GP.
Please also refer to my about page where you can read more about the qualifications I hold to train you in pregnancy.

Begin with the 'Start Here' section where you will learn about the program, the format and also the basic techniques you will need to know before starting the program. Once you have finished those videos, you can jump in at whatever week you are at in your pregnancy.
For example, if you are currently 15 weeks pregnant, then begin with the 'Start Here' Section and once you have completed that, you will join at Block 2 which covers Weeks 14-17 of pregnancy and start with the Week 15 workouts. Weeks 1 & 3 and 2 & 4 of each block are the same, so you will still get the opportunity to do the workouts from week 14 in week 16.
-
Yes you can cancel the rolling subscription whenever you like, there is no minimum term. You will have access until the end of that payment month.
To cancel the subscription log into your account and go to Subscriptions, here you can select to cancel your subscription. You will retain access to the programme and video library until the end of the billing period.

MEET YOUR TRAINER
Hi I’m Georgy,
A mum to three small children, coffee lover and your fitness friend! I have been through not only 3 pregnancies, but 3 very different experiences with each of them. Each one getting easier on my body, as opposed to harder as you may be led to believe. All by understanding and supporting my body better with exercise.
From one mother to another, you deserve every right to feel strong and confident in your body.
Going through pregnancy, birth and beyond is a huge toll for the body and by supporting yourself physically in the best way possible, you can enjoy every moment and movement along the way.
