MamaFit STRENGTH // Ongoing Strength Classes for you and your Mini 💜

This is the progression class to the MamaFit Foundations Course, so a general prerequisite is that you either have some experience with strength training OR you understand how to manage pressure in your core system, which is what I teach during the foundations course.

You’ll have hands-on coaching to help you:
- Rebuild postural strength

- Manage pressure on the core and pelvic floor
- Improve movement quality

An intro post //

🙋‍♀️ H! I’m Sarah of SJ Fitness Studio & Coaching

I’m an online fitness & nutrition coach and specialise in pre & postnatal training. I also coach group classes at the SJ Fitness Studio. My mission is to help people get stronger, build confidence and create habits that feel good and actually last. A bit about what I offer below:

💜 1:1 Online Coaching — Bespoke training & nutrition coaching
💜 AllFit Team Training — Larger group training at the
💜 Small Group Strength Coaching — Small (4 max) group strength at the SJ Fitness Studio
💜 MamaFit: Foundations & The Next Level — Postnatal training classes for mum & BYO baby, of course 👶🏻

📍 Lake Hāwea, New Zealand

Why my clients train with me?
➡️ I’m a mum. I’ve walked in the shoes of a sleep deprived parent with an extremely limited schedule. It’s not easy. We do NOT have the same 24 hours in the day…
➡️ We’re training for our old-lady-bod over here. One that can keep up now and for the next 50 years. Training shouldn’t be seen as a luxury or something we do when we feel like it. It’s a responsibility.
➡️ You need to be strong for motherhood. I coach to rebuild postnatal clients from the inside out. Bring it right back to basics and do them right. This gives them the confidence to get back to doing what they enjoy (running, sports, keep up with kids etc)

Your first class is on me (free) - experience the difference for yourself. Get in touch today.

One of the best summaries I've come across about nutrition, exercise, and maintaining muscle mass during perimenopause and menopause. Definitely do yourself a favour and set some time aside to have a read 📖

We will lose some muscle mass during menopause. Approach this season with ease by focusing on sustainable wellness strategies.
