Ask me anything

My aim is provide a safe place for women to exercise in a way that’s good for their post-partum body.

I would love to have a whole community of women who have done something for themselves, whether that's starting with our Mamas class or joining our Fit & Strong classes post school run or in the evenings.

So please, check out the FAQs below or get in touch with any questions – we’d love to make you a Firefly!

Help & FAQs

What can we help you with today?

Still have a question?

  • If you feel physically ready to move and have received guidance from your healthcare provider where appropriate, you’re likely ready to begin.

    ​

    Our classes are designed to support women at every stage — whether you’re pregnant, navigating postnatal recovery, returning after a long break, or simply wanting to build strength and confidence.

    ​

    Everything is adaptable to your current level. Exercises can be modified, progressed, or scaled back so you always work at a pace that feels safe and appropriate for your body.

    ​

    If you're unsure, feel free to get in touch — we can chat through your situation before you join.

  • Absolutely! Firefly's outdoor fitness classes embrace the changing seasons, providing a year-round opportunity to connect with nature and stay active. Come rain or shine, we adapt our sessions to the elements, making each workout a unique and invigorating experience.

General

  • No problem — the right membership depends on how often you’d like to train and what feels realistic for your schedule.

    ​

    • Ignite – 1 class per week. Ideal if you’re starting out, returning to exercise, or want consistency without overcommitting.

    • Glow – 2 classes per week. Perfect if you want steady progression, stronger results, and more momentum.

    • Blaze – 3 classes per week. Best for those who love training, want maximum progress, and enjoy building strength and fitness through regular movement.

     

    Most members choose based on availability and energy levels — and you can always upgrade or adjust as your routine evolves.

    ​

    If you're unsure, message me and we can figure out what would suit you best 💛

  • Absolutely! Life is ever-changing, and so are your needs. You can switch between memberships to align with your evolving fitness goals. Just let me know what adjustments you need, and we'll make it happen.

  • Of course! Your well-being is a priority. If life gets a bit hectic or circumstances change, you can pause or cancel your membership. It's about making fitness work for you, not the other way around.

  • Your membership is more than access to classes; it's your entry into a dynamic community. Beyond the workouts, you're part of a group that enjoys special events, takes on challenges, and connects at socials. It's not just about a workout; it's a personalised journey for you, with exclusive perks that enhance your unique fitness experience.

Memberships

  • If you’re navigating post-partum recovery and rebuilding strength, the best place to start is Fit & Strong – Mamas. This session is designed to support you as you reconnect with movement, restore core and pelvic strength, and build a solid foundation — with plenty of guidance and pacing to match your current level.

    ​

    From there, many women naturally progress into our Fit & Strong class, which offers a stronger, more progressive session focused on building fitness, strength, and confidence as your body adapts and develops.

    If you’re feeling rusty or unsure about returning to exercise, that’s completely fine — I’ll modify and pace the session so you feel supported and challenged at the right level.

    ​

    All classes remain adaptable for mums at any stage. Not sure where to start? Drop me a message and I’ll guide you 💛

  • Absolutely! Just sign up to our emails for the code!

  • For a successful workout, bring along your enthusiasm, suitable clothing, a water bottle, and an exercise mat for floor work. Before your first class, I'll send you a detailed email with everything specific to the class you've chosen, ensuring you're well-prepared and comfortable.

  • Yes — most classes are held outdoors. Being outside while you train supports mental wellbeing, reduces stress, and creates space to switch off from daily demands.

    ​

    We often use the space around us, including a large tree for natural shelter, so sessions continue comfortably in light rain or changing conditions. Dressing appropriately for the weather and layering up makes all the difference.

    ​

    Outdoor movement is also wonderful for babies and children — many little ones thrive in open space and enjoy being outside.

    ​

    Our Workout & Play sessions take place indoors to create a safe and engaging environment for crawlers and toddlers, while still supporting strength and connection.

    ​

    If you're unsure what to wear or what to expect, just ask — I’m always happy to guide you 💛

  • Congratulations on your new arrival 💛

    You’re welcome to join the Fit & Strong – Mamas class once you feel ready to return to gentle movement and have received postnatal clearance from your healthcare provider — typically around 6–8 weeks after birth, depending on your individual recovery.

    ​

    That said, everyone’s journey is different. If you’re feeling ready earlier or need more time, we can always adapt the session to suit how your body is healing. I prioritise safe progression, core and pelvic floor awareness, and meeting you where you are.

    ​

    If you’re unsure, feel free to message me and we can chat through your situation before you book.

  • We understand the incredible journey of postpartum recovery. In our sessions, we focus on rebuilding core strength and overall fitness, all while creating a nurturing environment where postpartum women can regain strength at their own pace.

  • Absolutely! We understand the juggling act of parenting. Our classes are inclusive, and many of our participants have older children. We provide a supportive and understanding atmosphere, allowing you to prioritise your well-being while accommodating family responsibilities.
