Pre/Post Natal

At Healthworks we offer an array of services for expecting or new mothers. Studies have shown that if you are having an uncomplicated pregnancy, it is not only safe but vitally important to exercise.

Group Exercise Classes

Yoga Moms Class

Yoga is a wonderful way to help you adopt to the changes your body is experiencing during pregnancy. It also helps to prepare you for labor and birth by making you feeling relaxed, calm and confident while making supportive connections with other pregnant women. Each class ends with guided meditation to deepen the release of tension and fatigue. This class is open to women in all stages of pregnancy regardless of whether you have practiced yoga before.

Mommy and Me

This group exercise class is geared specifically to new moms and their infants (3-weeks to 6 mos only) and is designed to facilitate a safe return to exercise after delivery. Abdominal, back, and thigh areas will be emphasized. Meet other new mothers and share experiences while you get back in shape, build strength and have fun!

*All Pre/Post-Natal members may participate in any Healthworks Pre/Post-Natal class regardless of membership type.

Specialty Training

A Personal Trainer will work with you to develop a safe and effective workout that you can do throughout pregnancy.
