Pregnancy Exercise Hawthorn

At Evado Studios Hawthorn, we recognise that every pregnancy journey is different which is why we do not offer a one-size-fits-all approach to pre and post natal pregnancy classes.

Pregnancy Pathway

• Should you be experiencing pain (pelvic, back or abdominal), incontincence or have special circumstances relating to your pregancy, we recommend booking in with a Physiotherapist for assessment and the creation of an individualised Clinical Pilates and/or Strength program. Once ready, you will move into a small class of up to four participants, guided by a Physiotherapist.
• However, if you are pain free, not incontinent, were active pre-pregnancy and have a preference for our fitness services, we recommend having an assessment with an Exercise Scientist. They will guide you as to which of our fitness services will suit you best. In your third trimester, training needs to be changed for the safety and comfort of our clients. We recommend 1-on-1 Personal training and/or a transition to Clinical Pilates following a Physiotherapy assessment.

Postnatal Pathway

• If you have pain (pelvic, back, abdominal), incontinence, are less than 8-10 weeks postpartum, had a caesarean or had complications relating to pregnancy or childbirth, we recommend booking in with a Physiotherapist assessment and the creation of an individualised Clinical Pilates and/or Strength program. Once ready, you will move into a small class of up to four participants, guided by a Physiotherapist. Following clearance from your treating Physiotherapist, a transition can be made to our fitness services (if desired).
• If you are pain free, not incontinent, had no complications with pregnancy or childbirth, are more than 10 weeks postpartum and have a preference for our fitness services, we recommend booking in with an Exercise Scientist for assessment and program creation. This may include a mixture of 1-on-1 training, Fitness Classes and Fitness Pilates.
