In Wandsworth borough most of the provisions provided for postnatal classes are private sectors and offer a pay as you go basis for drop in classes such as Hathan Yoga classes for £14 every Monday's or you can pay for a certain amount of classes e.g Abis team mum fitness offers 4 sessions for £50 and offers a variety of exercises for women also such as weight lifting classes which is a positive as it helps to promote confidence in these women. However, as majority of provisions are private this is a disadvantage as not all mums are able to afford the costs of the classes.

Referral members of the public. There are is a scheme in richmond which is public, giving specific times for the public to have access to specific to classes in the richmond borough where they can exercise. People can become members of the scheme and they get cheaper gym membership. This is positive to allow time specific times for members to have access to gyms and classes for only referral people of the public. But there are only two sessions weekly.

Clubs in my area Kingston Upon Thames are pretty vast in terms of catering for young people with different needs. The holiday clubs are handy for keeping kids active during the summer and winter breaks. The kids are able to go out and see the different landmarks that kingston has to offer and explore the various nearby parks such as bushy park or Richmond park.

Disadvantages are that these clubs and schemes during the holidays aren't kept open on a year round basis i.e. Parents being able to send their kids to these clubs after school so that they can socialise with children in the same borough as them.

To conclude there is a good balance of exercise clubs related to young children in my borough however they need to be open more often to gain interest from young people in my area. They also need to be a little bit cheaper to cater for families with low income.

Hounslow does not have many post natal support groups around the borough meaning that many mew mother are left helpless in the cold cold world. COLE WORLD. The are a few public and private sectors that provide classes and childcare which could help the parent get used to post natal life. The negative for not having any post natal classes or activites in the voluntary and partnership sector could mean that the people who do need help are not getting what they need from any of tg

Within NW2 its mostly filled with Private secotors, such as liesure centres. They each teach swimming classes to 12 year olds under with free of charge. They also carried out other activities such as Gymnastic and Club V. The advantages is that its in many locations so its not that long to get to. But the disadvantages is that they close at 10 on a week day and 8 on weekends 😊

Although, the sector is known as public and volunteer, the location of many youth clubs have the lack of activities for the children.

When researching about Brent, I came across many private companies providing activities for post natal women.
BENEFITS: many people can still find places for activites
Mums would make more friend making this a social benefit
Children who accompany their mothers may become friends with other children too

NEGATIVES: some women may not be able to participate on allocated days
Cost may become an issue

# data[].attributes.body
There are more public activities for post natal woman. The benefits of this is that it allows the women to recover from giving birth, whilst improving their social life too. However, the negative point is that some of the classes are highly priced and some women may not be able to afford the classes.👎

Here at Wheels for Wellbeing we aim to provide an inspiring experience for all and to demonstrate that the pleasure and many benefits of cycling need not be limited to those who ride bicycles on the main road.

We own London's largest fleet of non-traditional cycles: tricycles (solving issues of balance), tandems (distributing the strain of pedalling or hand pedalling, providing pilots where children have a visual impairment) and even tandems on the front of which you can position a wheelchair, including everyone in the joy of cycling.

We run weekly, drop-in, inclusive cycling sessions at Croydon Sports Arena, Ladywell Day Centre and the Herne Hill Velodrome, away from the danger of cycling on London's roads.

There is a small charge of £5 per session per disabled person (and this includes a supporter/key worker/parent/etc). £10 for a Group (one disabled cyclist with up to 3 friends and relatives).

If you had any queries about our organisation or the sessions, please don't hesitate to get in touch with us on 020 7346 8482.

You can find more information about us on our website:

Feeling motivated to exercise can be difficult at the best of times. But when you're pregnant, taking an antental class like pregnancy yoga or aquanatal not only calms your mind, it can also prepare your body for childbirth.

Not only that, antenatal exercise classes also offer a great way to meet other mums-to-be.

And while sometimes it might be hard to motivate yourself to go (just the thought of struggling into your swimming cossie can be enough to convince you to stay in!), more often that not you'll come away feeling energised.

If you've been going to a regular exercise class before getting pregnant, chances are it's safe to continue (within reason) because your body is already used to it.

However, if you're thinking of starting something new, be aware that some classes are only suitable after the first trimester and always consult your doctor or midwife if you're unsure.

Your browser cannot play this video.

Why it's good to exercise during pregnancy:

Improves blood flow - the increased oxygen is passed on to your baby

Releases 'happy hormones' which make you feel good

Prepares your body for late pregnancy when you will carry that extra weight

Prepares your body for childbirth - it's not called labour for nothing!

Keeps your muscles toned so that they will recover more quickly after birth

Types of antenatal exercise classes

1 Pregnancy yoga

What it is: Pregnancy yoga is a gentle exercise that anyone can do, no matter what your shape or size. It involves learning simple stretching exercises and breathing techniques. Check with your GP or midwife before taking a class if you're in your first trimester and haven't done yoga before.

How it helps: The gentle stretching doesn't put any undue pressure on your already stretched ligaments and the breathing exercises will stand you in good stead for labour. The relaxation element will also help you sleep.
Find a pregnancy yoga class in your area
2 Aquanatal

What it is: Think a mixture between aerobics and synchronised swimming. Aquanatal is great during any stage of pregnancy and it's the perfect postnatal exercise too.

How it helps: The water supports your body and frees you from the extra weight you've been lugging around all day, while the water resistance helps to tone your muscles. It gets your heart pumping, which helps to strengthen your heart and lungs.
Find an Aquanatal class in your area
3 Active Birth

What it is: The classes aim to give you a general sense of well-being and an increase in confidence as you approach your due date. All the exercises are gentle, safe and easy to follow, and are suitable for any stage of pregnancy. A typical class might consist of yoga, breathing and relaxation. It will also include some work on positions and breathing for labour.

How it helps: You will learn how to use breathing and relaxation to relieve stress, and to reduce the strains of pregnancy by improving your posture and circulation.
Find an Active Birth class in your area
4 Pregnancy pilates

What it is: Similar to pregnancy yoga in that it involves lots of stretching and relaxing breathing techniques. If you've not done pilates before and you're in your first trimester, check with your GP or midwife before taking a class.

How it helps: Pregnancy pilates focus' on relaxing your muscles and strengthening your pelvic floor to prepare your body for giving birth.
Find a pregnancy pilates class in your area
5 Antenatal aerobics

What it is: Similar to a normal aeorbics class, but low-impact - so no high-kicks and jumps. It's aimed at maintaining your fitness during pregnancy, rather than improving it.

How it helps: Pregnancy aerobics gets your heart pumping, tones your muscles and can help relieve aches and pains. It's also a good postnatal exercise and it will be easier to pick up after giving birth if you're already familiar with the basic moves.
