From the Core: Postnatal Recovery is the first in a series of fitness classes offered by the Active Moms’ Club. This class is designed to meet the unique needs of new mothers and their babies who are six weeks to six months post-partum. Whether you are a veteran athlete or a novice to exercise, your core has gone through the dramatic event of childbirth. To equip yourself for motherhood, it is vital to regain the integrity and strength of your core after pregnancy.

Working in small groups of no more than eight moms and babies, you will have an intimate setting to learn the tools for strengthening core muscles strained during pregnancy and delivery. A jumpstart to enhance your wellness, class meets twice a week for five weeks. The class format revolves around a progression of exercises that strengthen pelvic floor, lower back and abdominals muscles. This setting provides an opportunity to rediscover your body and strength, ask questions and gather information from other moms to make your journey into motherhood a healthy one. At the end of this five-week course you will have:

	The satisfaction of safely starting an exercise program
	Improved energy, strength and self-esteem
	Reduced lower back discomfort
	Greater sexual satisfaction
	Fewer episodes of incontinence

Plus, you will enjoy the benefit of working out with other new mothers — sharing stories, ideas and experiences, as well as the cost of personalized training — all the while spending time with your infant. You will both get your tummy time!

Pack a blanket and toys for your child to lie on the floor to play — we encourage tummy time. Or have your car seat if your child will sleep.

Make-Up Policies
Participants are permitted ONE make-up per session.

Participants must call to check availability for make-up class.

If a scheduled make-up class is missed no other make-up is permitted.

All make-ups must be completed within the next session.

Cancellation Policies
We reserve the right to cancel class sessions due to insufficient enrollment. In the event of cancellation due to insufficient enrollment, all paid tuition will be refunded.

Cancellation of a participant's registration must be made by the Wednesday before the session begins in order to receive a refund minus a $10 processing fee.

Requests for withdrawal after the session has started will receive a pro-rated credit for other Active Moms’ Club classes, but no cash refund will be given.

Withdrawals after the third class are not eligible for credit or refund. Credits must be used within six months of the original enrollment.

We hope you understand that as enrollment is limited in our classes, last minute cancellations prevent other interested participants from enrolling. We have adopted these policies out of fairness to our instructors and other participants.
