We specialise in teaching fitness and exercise to women before, during and after pregnancy.

We provide networking opportunities and continuing education for qualified instructors.

Welcome to the Guild!

Our aim is to provide networking opportunities and continuing education for qualified instructors specialising in teaching fitness and exercise to women in pregnancy – antenatal - and after their babies are born - postnatal. You can also use this site to search for a pregnancy exercise or postnatal exercise instructor near you. Our members include Pilates teachers, personal trainers, and group exercise and fitness instructors teaching exercise to music, and general fitness classes for antenatal and postnatal mums.

Some of our member instructors are also trained to teach outdoor buggy workouts.

The benefits of pregnancy exercise with a specialist instructor  and postnatal exercise after the birth of your baby include:

  • Maintenance of a healthy weight range
  • Increased strength and stamina to help you cope with the physical demands of pregnancy, labour, birth and postnatal recovery
  • Improved posture and pelvic floor control to help your body cope with the physical demands of pregnancy (Pilates can be particularly helpful here)
  • Raised body awareness and self confidence
  • Better quality sleep and feeling of relaxation and calm with reduced anxiety levels.
  • Reduced risk of injury and joint problems
  • Better balance and co-ordination

We hope that you will find what you are looking for here and that you have a healthy and happy pregnancy and good postnatal recovery, hopefully helped to achieve this by one of our member instructors.
