Why train with Prams in the Park?

• It’s affordable

 A Prams workout is an affordable and convenient way to exercise and still be able to care for your babies and/or children. Bringing your children with you gives you peace of mind and avoids the additional expense of childcare. 'Prams in the Park' is also very time effective - you don't need to drop off and pick up children at childcare, which can add considerable time. You're in a supportive and understanding environment where you have the flexibility to be able to care for your children's needs whilst doing something positive for you.

• Meet people

Many clients come to Prams in the Park initially wanting to lose weight gained during pregnancy. For some of them this is very soon after their baby arrives, for others it's years later. What they realise very quickly is that Prams in the Park offers many other benefits as well. It provides often craved adult company and conversation, a widened social network, excellent emotional support (many of my clients have formed strong friendships with other Prams clients) and the chance to feel part of something.

• Be fit and healthy

While the initial goal is often to lose weight, one of the major things you will quickly notice is an increase in your strength and function. As you get stronger the things you do every day such as housework, lifting children etc become easier. Your body is less prone to injury and many clients notice that problem areas (bad backs etc) get better. Also, as you increase muscle your body burns more calories, making it easier to lose unwanted weight. Many of my clients intend to have more children and they will all tell you that they are in better shape now than they have ever been, making their next pregnancy and delivery much easier and the recovery afterwards quicker and easier.

• Get outside!

Babies and children love it and there is nothing better than exercising in the fresh air and beautiful surrounds of your local park.  No mirrors, no walls, no sweaty benches.  Breathe the air, feel the sun and get energised by the outdoors.  Prams in the Park trainers provide all the equipment required for a full workout including mats, weights and fitballs. 

 

"Being new to Melbourne 'Prams in the Park' has been a very positive experience for my children & I. For me, it is an affordable commitment to exercise and an opportunity to meet like-minded busy mothers without the worry of placing the children in care. For the children, its an hour of outdoor play with mum right near by.
Martine is a great motivator who encourages each person in the session to work at their own pace. She has a sense of humour, and understands that at times the children need you. 'Prams in the Park' is a relaxed and fun way to exercise and suits mothers/fathers of children of all ages. I could not recommend it more!!"
