Exercise in our hydrotherapy pool and meet other expectant mothers at our Exercise in Pregnancy classes.

These classes are specifically designed for pregnant women from 28 weeks gestation onward.

Classes include a warm up, cardiovascular exercises, and warm down. Each class finishes with a relaxation session, floating in the pool with foam noodles, listening to music with the lights on low.
