I started going to the buggy run sessions when my daughter was six weeks old with the aim of shaping up and increasing my fitness. Whilst they certainly achieved this, it was also a great way of meeting lots of other mums, and eight months later I still attend both sessions each week. Gerard maintains a great atmosphere where everyone is pushed, but where there are still plenty of opportunities for having a laugh. My fitness has greatly improved and the sessions really allow me to maintain this, they are integral to my week !
I've been going to Yummy Mums for quite a few months now. It's a great opportunity to get out in the park with my baby, meet other mums and feel virtuous as well. The exercises are a mixture of cardio and toning and at the end of it you definitely feel like you've had a good workout. He's always there, come rain or shine, with a big smile and lots of encouragement. It doesn't matter what level of fitness you are, nor how loud your baby screams, everyone is welcome.

I joined in with the Buggy run twice a week for 8 1/2 months and only stopped as my baby became mobile and no longer wanted to sit in the buggy !
Gerard differentiated the exercises according to individual abilities and showed us exercises which we could do at home.
I love exercising in the fresh air and having a natter with the other mums !
I would thoroughly recommend this class.
The Yummy Mums buggy run is a great way to get back on the road to fitness. The class is set at the right fitness standard to be challenging and to hit those spots that need attention post baby! as well as being fun with a relaxed feel. Now I am back at work I miss my Wednesday mornings speed walking round Priory park whilst chatting to the other mums in the sunshine!
