Testimonials
Read real stories from parents who’ve made the most of the Active Start membership during pregnancy.
I joined 6 months pregnant, as I heard about the membership and wanted to keep active when I had to stop running.
Being able to go swimming and going to classes such as aqua natal. I went swimming 4 times a week when I was pregnant, right up to the day before giving birth. It really helped me with my fitness and mental health, as well as recovery postpartum. I went back swimming 3 weeks after giving birth and felt really good for it.
It’s really helped me keep fit and maintain my mental health. I’m not sure I would have joined if it were full price, as I wasn’t sure how much I would be able to go, especially postpartum.

I joined Active Start when I was 10 weeks after giving birth. The membership has helped me keep active whilst not breaking the balance whilst on maternity leave. It has also helped me meet mums who share the same passion for keeping healthy and active.
It’s a great way to connect with other mums whilst keeping active. Also the mama and baby classes help you connect with your little one too.
Bethany Maguire
Getting back into fitness post-baby felt daunting, especially when it came to committing to an expensive membership around a newborn’s schedule. The affordable pricing and wide range of classes made it a no-brainer. I’m so glad I found this!
Jan
The perfect way to stay fit during maternity leave without the financial pressure. I’ve also loved connecting with other mums who share the same active lifestyle.
It’s been just as good for my social life as it has for my fitness!
