Pre and post natal personal training

I’m very experienced with both pre and post-pregnancy exercise. 

I have helped women to achieve theBMI stipulated by the NHS in order to receive IVF treatment. Some of them didn’t even need the IVF treatment because they fell pregnant naturally once they reached their optimum health levels.

I have also trained women throughout their pregnancies (including myself, three times)! and seen the following benefits: 

• Reduced risk of developing gestational diabetes 
• Reduced risk of developing high blood pressure during your pregnancy 
• Fewer obstetric interventions (eg forceps) 
• Reduction in the active stage of labour (the painful stage) 
• More energy and improved sleep 
• Quicker return to pre-pregnancy weight 
• Reduction in bone density loss while breastfeeding 
• Decreased incidence of loss of bladder control during and post pregnancy 
• Reduction in common complaints such as haemorrhoids, constipation, leg cramps and back pain 

The benefits of pumping oxygen to your baby throughout pregnancy can include: 

• Babies have less body fat at birth. Some research shows that the benefits of lower body fat might translate into the reduction in the incidence of heart disease and diabetes in adulthood. 
• Infants are less cranky and less likely to have colic. 
• Children have greater neurodevelopmental scores in oral language and motor areas when tested at age 5!

“Training with Jilly during my pre pregnancy and IVF journey was truly a blessing. She understood exactly what my body needed and supported me every step of the way. My main goal was improving my BMI and she focused on building muscle mass in a healthy sustainable way. Her workouts were tailored, effective and always encouraging. I felt stronger, more confident and much more prepared going into IVF. I honestly don’t know how I would have done it without her. We got my BMI up to where I needed to be and after my first round of IVF I feel pregnant. Thank you so much Jilly for ever grateful”.

Carolyn Wensley, 40 years:

“I honestly can’t recommend Jilly enough. She’s been an incredible support through some of the most important chapters of my life. Her knowledgeable and tailored approach gave me the confidence and physical strength I needed to navigate fertility treatment and prepare my body for pregnancy. She always took the time to understand my goals and created safe, effective workouts that truly worked for me. Thanks to her guidance, I felt strong, healthy and empowered. She even helped me regain my self confidence after both pregnancies. Jilly genuinely cares, listens, and brings such expertise and encouragement to every session.
