When is the right time to commence pregnancy exercise class?
As a general guide we recommend after 12 weeks during pregnancy. A pre-class assessment with our Exercise Physiologist is recommended if you have not used a Pilates reformer or have any muscle aches/pain. Our exercise physiologist can assess your movement and discuss the current exercise guidelines and recommendations with you.
