Anika's small group PT sessions have been great and just what I needed to work on my fitness postpartum and I have made so much progress already! She works with you to reach your goals and targets exercises to improve any aches/pains as well as rebuilding your core strength! Its so hard to find opportunities to work out with your baby and Anika creates a really baby friendly environment in both these sessions and her Barbells and Buggies class. Definitely recommend!!

I’ve been going to Anika’s Buggies and Barbells class as well as small group PT sessions, and I can’t recommend her enough! Being able to bring my baby along is an absolute game-changer – I wouldn’t be able to commit to training otherwise during maternity leave. She’s really helped me rebuild my strength postpartum, and is brilliant at pinpointing exactly what I need to work on, whether it’s mobility, flexibility, or easing specific aches and pains. On top of that, she’s so friendly and welcoming – the classes have such a comfortable, supportive atmosphere that makes you actually look forward to exercising.

I've really enjoyed going to both the Small Group PT sessions and the Buggies and Barbells classes and am so glad some friends persuaded me to come. I've always shied away from group classes but this one is different. Anika gets to know you and your abilities to ensure that you have a good time and make the most out of her class. The class is easily adaptable, especially with babies in tow. It's a really lovely little community to be part of, and it's certainly effective!

I’m Anika - Mum and Pre- and Postnatal certified Personal Trainer
When I was looking to get back into exercise after my first baby - even as a Personal Trainer with years of experience - I felt it too: nothing felt made for me.
I started to wonder why there was nowhere to do my training that would allow me to bring my baby - certainly not a crawling, walking or crying one!
And I couldn’t see anywhere that would give me the sort of expert postnatally informed movement coaching, genuinely supportive community and endorphin-filled good vibes I was craving.
I was totally stumped as to how I’d ever get to train consistently again, let alone enjoy training and train with purpose for all the benefits I knew it used to bring to my life.
The two options I could see were either to piece together a bunch of random stuff to kind-of-make-it-work or accept that my best days were behind me.
So I built something better.
It’s really quite simple: High level fitness coaching where your postpartum body is the foundation, not an afterthought. A community where you can be fully yourself - supported, celebrated, and stronger than ever.
If you’re feeling a bit overlooked by the typical approach to fitness, I want you to know that you don’t need to wait til your kids are grown, and you certainly don’t need to compromise on your needs or fit into program that wasn’t designed for you.
