Pregnant? Small-group Pregnancy Strength is for you. Keep moving, build strength and feel supported throughout your pregnancy. Our small-group sessions focus on full-body strength, with exercises adapted to your pregnancy and experience level. No previous strength-training experience needed. Postnatal? Stage 1 is your starting point. Join other local mums for a structured programme combining postnatal Pilates, strength work, fitness and core and pelvic floor exercises. With supportive coaching and a welcoming group of mums, you’ll have the opportunity to rebuild strength and confidence at your own pace. Babies and children welcome. Stage 1 graduate? You’re ready for the next step: Stage 2! Build on the foundations you’ve already developed, progressing your strength, cardiovascular fitness and confidence alongside other local mums. Important: You must complete MamaFit Stage 1 before joining Stage 2. Explore Pregnancy Strength sessions. View Stage 1 in Mallusk or Stage 1 in Lisburn. Book Mallusk Stage 2 or Lisburn Stage 2 through the leisure centre’s sports courses.

You definitely don’t need to be fit to join MamaFit. That’s what the classes are for! Everyone starts at a different level, and exercises can be adapted to suit your body, ability and stage of fitness. Come as you are, work at your own pace, and build strength and confidence in a supportive environment.

For Stage 1, you’ll come into the gym and get yourself settled on a mat, baby too if you have them with you. We’ll do some introductions and I’ll chat through what to expect from the next six weeks before we get started. In Pregnancy Strength, I’ll do a quick introduction and we’ll get straight into a warm-up to make the most of the hour. With Stage 2, you have the comfort of familiar faces from Stage 1, plus the fun of meeting some new mums as you come together for another six weeks of MamaFit.

Stage 1: 60-minute classes, twice per week over a six-week block. Stage 2 in Lisburn: 60-minute classes over a six-week block, with a choice of six or 12 classes during the six weeks. Stage 2 in Mallusk: 45-minute classes, twice per week. Choose the full six-week block or a flexible class pass to attend the sessions you wish. Mallusk class passes: purchase one, four or eight classes and book your individual sessions. Passes are valid for three months and apply to Mallusk only. Pregnancy Strength: 60-minute sessions, once per week, booked as a one-month block.
