Bumps Pilates Class

Bumps Pilates, the pregnancy exercise class offered at Goodlife Gym in Glen Iris, VIC, is the perfect way for expectant mothers to stay active and maintain their fitness during pregnancy. With a focus on helping women stay healthy and strong during this special time, Bumps Pilates offers both prenatal and postnatal classes.

For pregnant women who have received clearance from their obstetrician or doctor to exercise after their 12-week scan, Bumps Pilates provides a safe and effective workout. The classes can also be started 6 weeks after a vaginal delivery or 8 weeks after a caesarian section, with approval from your obstetrician or doctor.

To truly reap the benefits, attending regular Bumps Pilates classes is encouraged. The body goes through rapid changes during pregnancy, and these classes can help you navigate these changes with ease. Most participants find that attending 1–2 times per week complements their other exercise routines perfectly.

To join a Bumps Pilates class, simply bring along the completed medical registration form, which can be found on the home page of the Bumps Pilates website. We recommend wearing comfortable exercise clothing and bringing along a water bottle to keep hydrated during each class.

If you have private health insurance with physiotherapy coverage, you may be able to claim the Bumps Pilates classes. Group physio exercise classes (item #561) are typically eligible for coverage, but it's possible that you may need an initial assessment (item #500) before being able to claim the group classes. Additionally, antenatal classes (Item #595) and postnatal classes (#596) may also be eligible for coverage. We strongly advise reaching out to your health insurance company to confirm if these classes are covered and to request an itemised receipt after each class.

Booking or cancelling a Bumps Pilates class is a breeze with the Mind Body Booking Site. Remember to book or cancel with at least 6 hours' notice to avoid any charges. To make things even easier, you can download the Mind Body app on your phone for a seamless booking experience. If you have any musculoskeletal issues, such as back pain or pelvic pain, please don't hesitate to inform the physiotherapist at the class. They can provide modifications to accommodate women with such issues.

If you find yourself unable to use all of your class passes during pregnancy, don't fret! Any remaining passes can be used when you return for postnatal classes. These passes are valid for up to a year and can be extended if needed. For any additional inquiries or if you have special circumstances, please reach out to us via email at the provided address.

Join Bumps Pilates and embark on a fitness journey that caters specifically to your needs during pregnancy. Stay active, stay healthy, and enjoy the benefits of Pilates in a supportive and nurturing environment. We can't wait to see you at our next class!
