Lauren, mother of two, wrote me the other day that she has started this
studio “The Everyday Family Center” within the “Everday Athlete”- and I
have to say it looks pretty fantastic. They offer everything from
childbirth classes to exercise for you and your baby.Here are the exercise
offerings as of March 2008:
Baby Wearing Strength- Combining safe movements while holding your baby in a carrier, you will
learn essential core strength that will allow you to have fun with your
child and minimize your aches and pains related to childcare. A great
way to start moving after childbirth and a solid introduction to our
Baby Bungee Class.
Baby Bungee (Postnatal Strength)- While your baby learns basic socialization and gross motor skills,
safely twisting and jumping in a Baby Bungee Bouncer, you will
reconnect with your body developing your core strength, balance,
flexibility and stamina, just like your baby! Our most popular class.
Mommy Boot Camp- Small Group Training Class designed to get your heart rate up for an
hour while you work on strength, stability, flexibility and core. We
will use stability balls, medicine balls, jump ropes, dumb bells and
more in a circuit training set up. Childcare is provided for ages 8 to
18 months.

Personal Training. Nutrition. Group Classes. We offer 6-8 week programs for moms and their babies.  Programs are offered twice a week, but some moms just opt for one day.  The great thing is that we have the flexibility here, if a group of moms approaches me with a request for a new time, or day, I can help them put a class together that suits their needs better.Although we do have great classes, our main focus here at the Fitness Collective is personal training.  To support parents we have started a childcare program.  Mondays and Wednesdays 11-2 parents can workout with one of our great trainers, while their kids play supervised in our studio.

The Baby and Me class has s strong emphasis focus on getting your abs and core strength back (or simply finding them again) after baby, with a lot of leg work (squats, kicks, etc) and some cardio too.  I didn’t bring my baby, because she is crawling and the class is designed for pre-cawling babies.  But there was a baby there, who enjoyed the music and mirrors, and got some special attention from Zoe when he needed it.   Zoe is a great instructor, with a lot of attention paid to the class member’s specific needs, injuries, and proper form.
