Sweaty Mama Gloucester

Rebuild strength, move with confidence and bond with your baby. Sweaty Mama offers expert-led pregnancy and postnatal exercise classes you’ll love.

At Sweaty Mama, we offer a range of classes to support you through every stage of motherhood. From our signature Sweaty Mama babywearing sessions to Strength classes that build muscle and confidence, there's something for every mum. Up for a challenge? Try our Sweaty Mama Bootcamp, or take a gentler approach with Mamalates, focusing on core strength, posture, and the pelvic floor. Whatever your journey, there’s a class to suit you.

Sweaty Mama was the perfect place to grow my strength and confidence both throughout my pregnancy and my maternity leave. The exercises were well designed to honour where you and your body are at, regardless of whether you are heavily pregnant, six weeks postpartum or juggling an energetic toddler! I'd recommend this class to anyone wanting to connect with other mums, have fun, move their body and grow their confidence.

I was apprehensive at first having, done very little exercise during pregnancy and seeing a physio post-baby for my pelvic floor, but Gill made me feel so welcome and really focuses on ensuring you are exercising safely to promote strengthening your body again. I’ve been going to classes for 6 months now and I feel so much stronger and more confident to do other exercises too. It’s great having an exercise class where I can bring him with me and not have to worry about finding the time or the childcare.

I'm so glad to have found the Sweaty Mama classes, I absolutely love them (so does my daughter!). Laura (Sutton Coldfield) is an amazing instructor and made me feel welcome right from the start (as did the other mamas). She's so motivating and has brilliant routines and knowledge. She creates a safe space no matter what your fitness level and is able to lead a fun and challenging class even with the variety of little ones!

Not only do I feel like I've had a great workout after class but also had a lovely catch up with some other mamas. My little one loves the classes, she gets to interact with other littles along with some play time on the mat. I can stop and adjust exercises as necessary to accommodate her, whether wanting to go in the carrier or be on the mat, there are options for all. I highly recommend the class to any new mums wanting to get back to exercise in a friendly environment!

I cannot recommend Sweaty Mama highly enough! Both me and my baby have thoroughly enjoyed the sessions throughout my maternity leave, it’s really helped with both my physical and mental well-being. It’s a great way to help keep active and feeling fit after having a baby, and there’s different options depending on whether you have split abs or need to take it a bit easier, or whether you want to push yourself.

Absolutely brilliant classes, Sweaty Mama was just what I needed a few months after giving birth to get me feeling a bit more like myself and energised whilst slowly improving my fitness. There are options throughout the class for different ability levels so you can push yourself or take it easy depending on how you’re feeling. Really enjoyed the music, the workouts were fun with plenty of variety. Thank you!

Sweaty Mama classes are designed for all stages of motherhood — from pregnancy, postnatal recovery and beyond.

Absolutely not! Sweaty Mama classes are designed for all fitness levels, from beginners to more experienced exercisers. Each workout is adaptable so you can go at your own pace, gradually building strength, endurance, and confidence. The focus is on safe, effective movement for mums, no matter your starting point.

Most mums can start Sweaty Mama classes from around 6–8 weeks postpartum, depending on your birth and recovery. If you had a C-section or complications, it’s important to check with your healthcare provider first but we'd advise to wait 12 weeks. Our classes are carefully designed to support gentle rebuilding of strength, core, and pelvic floor so you can exercise safely at your own pace.

Yes! Sweaty Mama classes are designed for mums and their little ones. Babies and toddlers are welcome to join, play, or interact during class, making it easier for you to exercise whilst spending time with your child. We typically say from 6 weeks to 4 years old (pre-school), although older ones are always welcome during the school breaks. Classes are structured so you can focus on your workout while your little one is nearby and part of the fun.

Yes! Sweaty Mama classes are designed to be safe and effective for pregnant mums.
