PRENATAL/POSTNATAL FITNESS AND MOMMY & ME

At Purely Moore Fitness we understand the demands, physically, mentally, and emotionally, associated with motherhood. At this facility we have several instructors certified and trained through Ace and Oh! Baby Fitness. We also have several female instructors at various stages of motherhood ready to help you through this journey. Our focus is on your health and well-being during this huge milestone in your life. Prenatal/Postnatal classes are an essential health plan for moms and, in addition to helping keep you and baby healthy, the classes offer mothers a much-needed social outlet. You are always welcome to bring baby with you during these classes to be a part of the workout. Classes are usually between 30-45 minutes in length and class sizes remain small. All prenatal/postnatal classes cap at 8 participants.

In addition to focusing on your fitness health during and after pregnancy, we also want to help facilitate that bond between mom and baby. We offer several Mommy and Me classes at Purely Moore Fitness. These classes are designed to let you and your little one interact in a safe and structured environment. Although moms are our focus, we never want to leave out. Dads have their own set of experience during their partner's pregnancy. We also offer a little baby and dad time with our dad's and Sprouts classes, our Daddy version of Mommy and Me! All Classes are roughly around 40-45 minutes, depending on the class. Maximum class size is 8 participants.
