Prenatal Personal Training: London

If you're trying to conceive, either naturally or through IVF, you're likely to be swamped with health and fitness information. It's easy to become overwhelmed and not know where to begin - but this is where we can help.

At Fitness Lab, we have specialist trainers who are highly qualified and have years of experience in prenatal, postnatal, and pregnancy personal training.

We won't just give you a workout regime and expect you to follow it. Instead, we'll help you understand every element of your health, including the right kinds and levels of exercise, how nutrition can help, what part rest plays in your health, and much more.

When it does come to working out, we're right beside you. Your own personal trainer in your own private workout pod that's exclusively yours when you're here.

Truly 'Personal' Training

Here at Fitness Lab, we start from scratch with everyone who comes through our doors. No pre-programmed routines, no assumptions, and no judgments. Instead, we get to know you and, importantly, we listen.

Some people who are trying to conceive have a history with exercise, some people don't. Some people feel like their diet works for them, other don't. We'll take your personal circumstances and all the information you've been given, then we'll help you make sense of it.

Don't worry - we don't expect you to become an overnight weightlifter, nor do we expect you to aim to run a marathon. When it comes to planning for parenthood, the most important factor is listening to your body and understanding how to react. We'll work with you to put together a sustainable, holistic fitness plan that readies your body for pregnancy.

Losing Weight Before Parenthood

Lots of people are told that they should aim to lose a little weight to increase their chances of conception. This is very common - but it can lead people into a minefield of information, some of which can be extremely damaging to your body and mental well-being.

Our prenatal, pregnancy, and postnatal personal trainers have lots of experience with weight loss. They know what works and they know what doesn't. They also know what's sustainable - both physically and mentally.

We're not here to preach. We're here to help you make a series of small but noticable shifts in the way you move, eat, and rest. We're also here to make pregnancy fitness fun! Getting fit for pregnancy shouldn't feel like torture - it should feel like each day is chance to celebrate another small step in an incredible, life-changing journey.

Training Safely in Your Own Private Space

The idea of going solo in a public gym doesn't appeal to everyone, so we do things differently at Fitness Lab.

Here, you don't have to worry about working out in a public space. There's no queuing for aerobic exercise machines or the need to wipe down weight training equipment. In our Soho and Fitzrovia studios, you have your own private 'pod' - and it's exclusively yours the whole time you're here.

Your personal trainer is focused entirely on you while you're here too - so you can be 100% confident that you're training is completely safe. You can even take advantage of our kit washing and ironing service - so you don't have to worry about packing your gym bag when you leave the house!

Fitness Can Significantly Influence Your Hormones

Many people experience the impact of hormones imbalances on a day-to-day basis - but if you're trying to conceive, it can be a huge help if your hormones are working the way they're intended to.

Studies in these areas are very clear. People who include some moderate exercise in their week will get pregnant quicker than people who don't exercise regularly. Exercise is even shown to be a hugely important factor for people who experience ovulatory disorders like irregular periods or polycystic ovary syndrome.

Again, this isn't something to worry about - we don't expect you to jump straight into an entirely different way of moving, eating, and resting. Modern life and modern diets can contribute to hormone imbalances - but we can help you take small, manageable steps to regain balance. Our years of experience show that building these small habit changes is the very best way to make a lasting different to your health and fitness.

Personal Training Based on Pregnancy Yoga and Pilates

Being pregnant puts a strain on your body. The best time to start preparing your body for that strain is now.

Throughout prenatal, pregnancy, and post-natal training, our coaches will work with people trying to conceive and pregnant women to strengthen the muscles that giving birth puts a strain on. This will almost always include techniques taken from prenatal Pilates, postnatal yoga, postnatal Pilates and breathing exercises designed to work on your pelvic floor muscles.

The importance of this core stability cannot be underestimated. It won't just make a difference to for mums to be giving birth - it will also make a huge difference to your physical recovery after baby has arrived.

Radomira is a great coach. Highly motivating, fun, excellent listener, sessions with her are never boring. She know how to push people out of the comfort zone without forcing them. Rare quality for a coach. The studio itself is optimally located at the heat of Soho and is very well equipped. The concept of a coach-only gym is not common and probably the best option for anyone who take their fitness seriously.

I have been with Fitness Lab for 2 years it has been a gradual transition to strength and fitness working with my excellent trainer Ash. It isn’t a quick fix to weight loss but a longer term investment in being a stronger me. With the individual focus I just don’t have to think about having to motivate myself, or worry about whether I am using the weights correctly, Ash takes care of that and gradually pushes me to push myself.

I chose Fitness Lab because the idea of a gym with a more intimate atmosphere, free from overwhelming crowds was very appealing to me. Originally, I planned to join for just a couple of months to get ready for summer, but here I am in November, still committed! The primary reason for that is my PT Radomira, who creates a customised program that suits my individual goals, always motivates me without pushing too hard and makes each session enjoyable and uplifting. I can actually see the progress and am very happy that I ended up choosing this gym.

I would absolutely recommend Fitness Lab to anyone who is looking get the best PT experience in London. It really helps to be working out in a private space rather than in a public gym and the facilities and equipment are all first-rate and well-maintained. I have to give a huge thank you to my PT, Ash, who has turbo-charged my training. He has put the time, effort and his knowledge into tailoring my workouts to achieve my goals. I don't feel like I'm aimlessly working out or unsure of whether I'm doing the right thing or not anymore and the results have been fantastic. I'm improving in areas that I have always struggled with and it just makes me even more motivated. Ash always brings the right vibe so that I look forward to each session rather than it feeling like a chore. He keeps the workouts varied to make things interesting and if there is ever something I can't do because of injury then he is able to adapt when necessary. The whole experience at Fitness Lab has been fantastic.

The private personal training here helped me gain control of complicated back issues and get back to playing rugby for the first time in years! My PT was so focused on specifics for my situation and the results speak for themselves. They are so well located for a lunchtime session from work. In my opinion the best personal training studio in Soho!

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Often, before commencing IVF (In Vitro Fertilisation), doctors will suggest losing weight to improve your chances of success with the treatment. 

Don't be fooled though, not all kinds of weight loss result in the same health benefits. It might be tempting to 'crash diet' during this time, so you treatment happens sooner-rather-than-later, but this isn't a good way to prepare your body. In fact, it could potentially reduce the chances of success with your treatment.

The best way to lose weight in preparation for IVF is to exercise effectively, keep a careful watch over what you're eating, and get the right amount of rest. We can help with all of those things. Don't panic - we're human, so we always work in sensible, manageable ways that give you the best chance of moving some weight and keeping it off.

Yes, we have personal trainers with qualifications and accreditations in prenatal personal training and postnatal personal training - so we can support you from before pregnancy right through to a time when baby is here. 

This can be a fantastic way to train. Not only does your PT get an amazing understanding of your journey, they can also make sure that your programme changes as your stages of pregnancy change too.

If you're considering improving your health and fitness with a view to becoming pregnant, acting sooner-rather-than-later is always the best option. This gives us a chance to get to know you and your body - then get you started on a programme that we're confident will be effective.

Everyone is different - so you may fall pregnant quickly. Then again, you may find that it takes some time to conceive. It's a good idea to book a free consultation and chat with us about your current health and fitness. Then, we can chat about realistic timeframes to hit the kind of goals you're considering.
