Postnatal Personal Training in Clapham: Rebuild Strength, Confidence & Energy After Baby
Postnatal Personal Training in Clapham: Rebuild Strength, Confidence & Energy After Baby
Blog Article
Motherhood is powerful — but it’s also physically demanding. From sleepless nights to carrying your baby all day, your body works overtime in ways you never imagined. At Core and More, we specialise in postnatal personal training in Clapham, helping new mums regain strength, heal properly, and feel confident again in their bodies.
Whether you've just had your 6-week check-up or you're months (or even years) postpartum, our safe, supportive personal training sessions are designed to meet you where you are — emotionally, mentally, and physically.
Why Postnatal Fitness Matters
After pregnancy, your body has been through significant changes. Your abdominal muscles have stretched, your posture has shifted, and you may be dealing with:
- Core or pelvic floor weakness
- Diastasis recti
- Back or hip pain
- Fatigue and sleep deprivation
- Hormonal fluctuations
- Reduced confidence
Our approach to postnatal training focuses on healing first, then building strength and fitness gradually.
This isn’t about “bouncing back” — it’s about moving forward with strength and self-care.
What Makes Core and More’s Postnatal Training Different?
At Core and More, we understand that every postnatal journey is unique. That’s why our programmes are:
Tailored to your birth experience and recovery
Designed around your energy, sleep, and feeding schedule
Focused on rebuilding strength from the inside out
Delivered with empathy, support, and zero judgment
We take the pressure off and put the focus where it should be: your recovery, your goals, and your timeline.
How We Work With New Mums
Here’s how a typical postnatal training experience works with us:
1. Initial Consultation
We’ll talk through your pregnancy, birth, medical clearance, and any concerns (like diastasis recti, pelvic floor issues, C-section recovery, or pain). We also discuss your lifestyle, sleep, nutrition, and mental wellbeing.
2. Gentle Core & Posture Rebuild
The first few sessions often focus on breathwork, core reconnection, posture correction, and gentle mobility. We use techniques like:
- Deep core activation
- Diaphragmatic breathing
- Glute and pelvic floor engagement
- Corrective stretches for back and hip relief
3. Strength & Energy Progression
Once your core and alignment are stable, we gradually introduce resistance training, low-impact cardio, and functional movements. We adapt sessions daily depending on your energy, baby’s schedule, and recovery.
4. Baby-Friendly Sessions
Need to bring your baby? No problem. We can train in your home, garden, or Clapham Common, where your little one can safely join or nap beside you. We work around feeds, naps, and baby breaks.

Common Questions from New Mums
When can I start postnatal training?
We typically recommend waiting until you’ve had your 6-week GP check-up (or 8–10 weeks for C-sections). After that, we start with gentle, restorative movement.
Do I need to be fit to start?
Absolutely not. These sessions are designed for recovery and reconnection, no matter your starting point.
Can I bring my baby?
Yes! We structure sessions to be baby-friendly, whether that means holding your baby, stopping for feeds, or parking the pram next to your mat.
Do I need equipment?
Nope — we bring everything to you. Dumbbells, resistance bands, mats, and core tools are all provided.
