Oriane Abbonizio is our resident Fitness Expert. Her in-depth ante and post natal
exercise knowledge will mean that you are in safe hands!
After a "Pregnancy Fitness Review" (our detailed health and fitness consultation), Oriane can design you your own unique, safe and effective ante-natal
exercise programme which takes into consideration your personal aims and objectives, your current activity levels, your job and your lifestyle. Knowing that you are following Oriane's expert ante-natal fitness advice can help put your mind at rest whilst preparing your body for the challenges of pregnancy,
birth and beyond.
After the Review, what happens next is entirely down to you. Some of our clients opt to just have the Review and then follow the programme in their own time at home or at their health club. Others may prefer to have additional personal training sessions supervised by Oriane. These can usually be arranged to take place at a location most suitable for you.
