SERVICES - PRE & POST NATAL FITNESS

Pre Natal Fitness

Attitudes about exercise during pregnancy have changed dramatically over the last 10 to 20 years. The stereotype of pregnancy being a time of “fragility” and “weakness” that necessitates near inactivity has long been discarded. This shift
in opinion is largely due to the increasing research that nullifies the myths surrounding exercise while pregnant.

Exercise during pregnancy is important and has many proven benefits but done without proper guidance under a qualified trainer can prove dangerous. The Wright Image Studio has helped many female clients enjoy the benefits of
exercise during pregnancy and avoid the associated risks.
