hustle: postpartum + baby (kingsway)

HUSTLE’s classes make getting back into movement after baby feel accessible and supportive with workouts that help rebuild strength and boost confidence after birth. The workout’s creator and instructor, Lucy Ulmer, is so knowledgable and ensures safe, effective form with a focus on rebuilding the core and the pelvic floor. The classes are dimly lit and have a post-partum personal training feel, but with a room full of other mamas.

The best part is that HUSTLE has amassed a collection of bouncers, rockers, exersaucers, Jolly Jumpers and toys for the babies to use. It is the cutest thing to see them all play and take up space for the 50m class.

There are three classes available for post-partum (with two others for prenatal soon-to-be mamas):

POSTPARTUM + BABY: CONTROL + CORE

Mondays & Thursdays 1:45pm

This class uses the core principles of Pilates and the power of the breath to help mamas strengthen the muscles needed for taking care of their babies and healing the post-partum body.

Equipment: Resistance bands, dumbbells, ankle weights, and sliders

POSTPARTUM + BABY: STRENGTH

Tuesdays & Wednesdays 1:45pm

This class is focused on rebuilding strength, reactivating good posture and reclaiming confidence. The instructors provide suggestions for weights, starting slow and steady, but you’ll surprise yourself with how much you can lift!

Equipment: Dumbbells, resistance bands, steps, BOSU, TRX, and stability balls

MAMA MOVE

Mondays & Wednesdays 8pm

Specifically for mamas that are ready to MOVE beyond our Postpartum +Baby classes approximately one year after birth and includes more cardio and high impact movement. *This class is baby-free as it is in the late evening

Equipment: TRX, dumbbells, resistance bands, steps, BOSU, stability balls, ankle weights and sliders

Post-partum mamas are always welcome to join the PRENATAL PILATES & CORE and PRENATAL STRENGTH, as long as you leave your babes at home.

For a post-class treat, check out Thierry Mount Pleasant across the street, with loads of stroller space inside and delicious French pastries, lattes and chocolate.
