What does BeachFit Moms offer that is different from other Mommy & Me classes?
We all know that walks or cardio alone can only get you so far when getting in shape. Beach Fitness state of the art facility has all the equipment you will ever need to prepare your body for a baby, recover from giving birth or get your body in shape. By adding strength into your workout, not alone will it make you strong and lean, you will also burn more calories. Muscles burn more calories than fat, that is why strength is so important. Compared to other Mommy&Me classes, all our instructors are certified trainers and CPR certified.
By visiting our FaceBook page or our website on our daily basis you will get nutritional advice, mini workouts for the days when you are not attending BeachFit Moms, health advice, recipes and fun facts about what the celebrity moms are doing during their pregnancies and how they are getting back in shape.
Also – last but not the least – special discounts to stores around Seal Beach & Long Beach area. But only if you are a part of BeachFit Moms!
How is the class set up?
BeachFit Moms class is held both outdoors and indoors. We start by meeting up outside Beach Fitness facility for a 30 min cardio/leg workout together with your baby & stroller around beautiful Seal Beach Old Town, then we just roll our strollers and babies into Beach Fitness Group Fit studio for 30 min strength/upper body exercises incorporated with core and postural exercises and stretching. We’ll promise your baby will love the entertainment of seeing you workout - or they will take a great powernap!

This is a class that will help you understand your body and how you can make it stronger and healthier during your pregnancy or when you have become a mom. By working out together with your baby, not only would you early on incorporate a healthy lifestyle for your baby, but your baby will love seeing you sweat and have fun!
What do I need to bring?
Athletic shoes, your belly if you are pregnant, and a baby and a stroller if you are a mom. It does not have to be a jogging stroller. Mats and all other equipment are provided at Beach Fitness. If you prefer to bring your own mat, just put it inside of the GroupFit studio right before class starts.
What do I need to know about bringing my baby?
You can bring your baby as early as you want, but we do recommend them being at least 6 weeks old. They should be sitting comfortably in a stroller for one hour. We are all moms or becoming ones so if you need to stop for any reason to soothe your baby, don’t hesitate. We are all here to help each other and have fun! Because we are spending half of the class indoors, you have everything you need at Beach Fitness facility (water, bathrooms, towels, microwave etc). The transition between outdoors and indoors will give you a quick little break to use whatever you need at the facility. You can, of course, during any time of the class, take a break if you need to.
You can always pick up your baby during our strength exercises and use him/her as a weight – guarantee they love it too!
Is 2 hours a week enough?
We’ll bet you already have a gym membership that you NEVER use, so 2 hours a week is plenty. You are getting a full body workout twice a week. By adding power walks and other soothing but efficient workouts such as pilates, you will be in the greatest shape of your life. We highly recommend our certified Prenatal/Postnatal Pilates instructor Laura Adams that is available Monday/Wednesday/Friday at Beach Fitness for personal training Pilates. We also recommend Full Circle Chiropractic located inside of Beach Fitness facility. Natalie is a holistic chiropractor specialized in prenatal/postnatal/infant and children chiropractic as well as adult chiropractic care.
…I’m trying to get pregnant? This is a great opportunity for you to create your perfect body. Even though you are not pregnant – yet – doesn’t mean this class is not for you. By preparing your body for what to come, you will become strong and fit in this class. We all know that trying to become pregnant is a rather stressful stage – come join this class, sweat it out and relax your mind. Stress is never good for conceiving so when you are focusing on exercising your body, your stress level will go down.
…I’m pregnant? Congratulations! You are going through the most amazing experience that your body has ever been in. This is the perfect class for you. Pregnancy, especially if it is your first, can be scary because you are in the unknown. Your body is constantly changing and you need to be prepared for carrying around extra weight, delivering your baby and recover from it. This class will give you confidence, strength and knowledge about your body. Working out in moderation during pregnancy is never bad for your body – instead it will make you stronger and perfectly ready for the big challenge ahead of you. But what if you can’t do all the exercises in the class? No worries, the instructor will always adjust the exercise specifically for you. But most of the time you will be able to do them. Just remember, it is your body and you should listen to its need. If you anytime during the workout not feeling 100%, take a minute to rest. As pregnant, you may have aches and pains because its constantly changing mode. This class will release tension and aches but also build up your strength so you are perfectly fine carrying that baby in your belly for 9 months (it’s actually 10 months but who told us that?!) and then carry him/her in your arms. We are also focusing on postural exercises because of your body’s change of gravity. We guarantee that this class will do wonder throughout your whole pregnancy journey!
…I just had my baby? The best day of your life! Take your time to get settled at home with your new baby and addition to the family. Depending on what kind of delivery you had – you need to recover. We recommend 6 weeks for a regular, complication free, vaginal birth and up to 3 months for a C-section. Make sure that you have doctor’s approval when you want to start exercising. This class will help the process of recovery. By coming to the BeachFit Moms class, you will slowly turn your body into normal again. Any exercises that you are feeling great doing – you should do them. For every week you will feel better and stronger. The most important thing is not to be stuck at home and never exercise. Your body is built to move and recovery process will go much faster if you are moving your body and exercising. It shouldn’t be painful or brutal, it should be fun and relaxing and leave you energized. Some women recover really fast, some women take longer. This is a class for both of those women, it is not a competition, we are all different but we are working towards the same goal. To become healthier and happier moms!
…I had a C-section? Guess that little bundle wanted to try another path out? C-section demands a longer recovery process. It is absolutely crucial that you have your doctor’s approval to start exercising again after a C-section. Even though the scar on the outside has healed, there are still scars inside that require healing. You would know immediately if something does not feel ok. But just because you had a C-section doesn’t mean you can’t do anything. You can still walk and do many exercises for you upper body. Also, since your have been cut open, your muscles are working hard to attach to each other and operate normal. That numb feeling is nerves still trying to connect to each other. It is very important to make those nerves connect again. If you don’t do any core work, you will get that saggy mom belly and your posture will fail you and that’s when you get shoulder and lower back pains. During the class we are working on making that core - first back to normal – then stronger than ever. The six-pack will just follow.
…I’m breastfeeding? For your own comfort, you may wish to nurse before coming to the BeachFit Moms class. That way your baby is full and happy and your breasts will be comfortable during the one hour class. There are many questions regarding changes in breastmilk supply when you are working out, as well as the taste. This is different from baby to baby. But very rarely will exercising change your baby’s need for breastmilk. Recent studies showed no change in infants' acceptable of mom's milk an hour after exercise, even for the moms who exercised at maximum intensity. As long as you are keeping hydrated – you will be fine.
…I’m all recovered and ready to get fit?

BeachFit Moms is the class for you.
You live in Southern California – it never rains! If it’s raining, we will be indoors. Classes will then be held from 10.00 – 11.00am, (postponed with 30 minutes, due to a Spinning class that is taught at the Group Fit studio until 10.00am). We will let you know ahead of time if this time change is necessary due to rain. We will NEVER cancel a class due to bad weather, we’re just moving inside.
Important.
We advice you to have your doctor’s approval to attend this class. We never encourage woman to workout beyond their body’s own recovery process. If you anytime during the class feel fatigued, nauseous etc, please stop and take a break. We will always adjust the exercises for each individual depending on which stage you’re in so you leave happy and healthier!
