Getting fit after babies - powerplate

[charlottep]

I know that there has been a recently revived thread on post baby bodies and in relation to that I thought I might just put in a plug for High Vibes on Melbourne Grove. The powerplate sessions are only 25 mins long and Gianni, the instructor, is very happy to have babies attend with their mums. As well as actually losing weight, I've found the powerplate is improving my core strength too which had taken a real beating after two pregnancies in close succession!

Just wanted to add that I have absolutely no connection with the business itself, it's just that I think it's ideal for those of us that don't have access to childcare or a lot of time on our hands, but still want to do some effective exercise!

it's by GMs and Therapy at the ED station end of Melbourne Grove. They do have a website, pretty sure it's just highvibe.co.uk

[esme]

i've never heard of this either - must be well hidden! - sounds good, might give it a go

[duchessofdulwich]

sounds good if she can let you take babies. 25 mins would be enough for us both

[gci5]

She is actually a He.. :-) and yes it's fine to bring your baby..as longs as they're still in the pram and not

crawling..

if you want any more info, call 020 8693 3955 or email [email protected] www.highvibe.co.uk

Thanks

thanks what does the baby do while you are exercisng? watch? like powerpramming? thanks

[charlottep]

My three and a half month old watches. I book my session so that it directly follows her feed to ensure she doesn't protest. Sometimes she snoozes too. The sessions are 25 mins so it works quite well.

[esme]

when do you go? it'd be nice to try a class with another mum there if poss

[Nelson]

I went there today for my first session and enjoyed it and can now say that I am hooked and will be going back regularly so thanks charlotte for letting me know it was there as after having two children its a great way to get back in shape!

[Dulwich Born And Bred]

I would love to do this but it is just so expensive!

[charlottep]

Once you become a member the prices aren't so bad, in line with what you'd pay for other classes around here. Also, in the initial stages you're getting a lot of one-to-one training with gianni, who also works a plan out for you so it's v similar to personal training.

I'm sure if we could get together a smallish group of mum's with a similar level of fitness (i.e. not v much in my case) we could get some kind of economy of scale going. I'll ask at my next class.

Btw, it's brilliant for the pelvic floor as well.

Hi, just to let you all know we do have a special offer on at the moment, it's just ?10 per session from 1-4pm Mon-Fri.

I understand that to some, the prices may seem expensive but it is cheaper than other studios in C.London and as Charlotte points out, you are getting one to one training, which you would pay a lot more for if you were to go to a gym or hire a personal trainer.

If there is a group of you, who are at similar levels, interested in having a session or class I will offer a discount for a group booking of 3 or 4 people coming together as long is it is between 1-4pm ie off peak.

Give the studio a call on 020 8693 3955 if you're interested or email [email protected].

Thanks,

Gianni

Can I just ask regarding doing this after having a baby- how long should I wait before trying this sort of exercise?? My baby is 2 and a half weeks and I am keen to finally sort out the much abused jelly belly after 2 pregnancies with huge babies.....

[katgod]

not qualified as such but do have 3 childrenf and have always been told that i need to have the 8 week check at GPs begore embarking on any exercise regime>

[gci5]

Yes I can clarify that you should wait a minimum of 6 - 8 weeks and you will need to be given permission from your midwife or GP before you can start.

Just to let you all know we have a Special Offer running in September - 5 sessions for ?50

Contact us for more info or to book.

Thanks,

Just thought I'd share this recent testimonial with you all-

This lady is 55 years of age and hadn't done any exercise in a long time, she came 3 times a weeks for 4 weeks-

"I'm amazed at the weight loss in 4 weeks-I lost 3.5 kilos with minimum effort and I now have toned thighs,

my bingo wings are flying away and I'm aware of my stomach muscles for the first time in many years.."

Go to www.highvibe.co.uk to read more.. keep a look out over the next couple of weeks for some exciting developments.
