Review: StartStrong Fitness parent and baby exercise class

Review written by Lily Rose

I attended a StartStrong Fitness parent and baby exercise class in Ipswich. Emma was very friendly and accommodating when booking me in for a class, and just as wonderful when my little one and I attended. She brought her own bubba to class, who behaved so well while demonstrating the exercises with her mummy!

The class is aimed at younger babies and their parents, so there were plenty of soft mats and toys for the little ones. Emma explained every exercise before we did them, and gave us plenty of adaptations to choose from if we needed. This included options with or without baby, and with or without weights. After each set of exercises there was a short 2 minute break to rest, drink, and regroup before we continued. Emma took this time to check in on everyone, which I found really reassuring.

Overall it was a very relaxed, comfortable, and welcoming setting. There's no pressure if you need a break to rest or feed/attend to your child. She even has a WhatsApp group going for those who attend. I had a great time and am so pleased with my experience!
