Truly 'Personal' Training
Here at Dr Stretch, we start from scratch with everyone who comes through our doors. No pre-programmed routines, no assumptions, and no judgments. Instead, we get to know you and, importantly, we listen.
Some people who are trying to conceive have a history with exercise, some people don’t. Some people feel like their diet works for them, other don’t. We’ll take your personal circumstances and all the information you’ve been given, then we’ll help you make sense of it.
Don’t worry – we don’t expect you to become an overnight weightlifter, nor do we expect you to aim to run a marathon. When it comes to planning for parenthood, the most important factor is listening to your body and understanding how to react. We’ll work with you to put together a sustainable, holistic fitness plan that readies your body for pregnancy.
Losing Weight Before Parenthood
Lots of people are told that they should aim to lose a little weight to increase their chances of conception. This is very common – but it can lead people into a minefield of information, some of which can be extremely damaging to your body and mental well-being.
Our prenatal, pregnancy, and postnatal personal trainers have lots of experience with weight loss. They know what works and they know what doesn’t. They also know what’s sustainable – both physically and mentally.
We’re not here to preach. We’re here to help you make a series of small but noticeable shifts in the way you move, eat, and rest. We’re also here to make pregnancy fitness fun! Getting fit for pregnancy shouldn’t feel like torture – it should feel like each day is chance to celebrate another small step in an incredible, life-changing journey.
The benefits of using a private gym in Islington
Don’t like big open studios or public gyms? Neither do we. If you value personalised attention, high-quality facilities, and a specialised atmosphere, a private boutique gym could be a worthwhile investment in your fitness journey.
No waiting for equipment, no changing your routine to work around others, and no feeling of being watched while you exercise.

FAQs

Unless you have specific advice from your GP saying otherwise, exercising during pregnancy is perfectly safe. In fact, NHS guidelines say that staying active through pregnancy makes it easier for the body to adapt to its changing shape and weight – as well as helping to cope during labour.
Exercise can also result in improved circulation – as well as helping with healthy weight loss after childbirth. There are also countless studies that show exercise can result in more energy and less stress – all vital parts of being a new parent!
If you have specific concerns, you’re completely welcome to get in touch and talk to one of the Dr stretch team. There’s absolutely no obligation to commit to personal training and your enquiry will be handled with the strictest of confidence.
During pregnancy Your body is changing in ways that do not happen at any other time in your life. There’s increasing pressure on different muscles and joints – and you’ll almost certainly develop aches and pains as these often weaker areas are forced to carry an additional load and work in different ways.

There are two things to consider when looking for a good pregnancy personal training service near to you.
Firstly, you should consider the qualifications of the people you trust with health advice. We have personal trainers who are specifically qualified to support people before pregnancy, through pregnancy, and when recovering from pregnancy. Of course, this should never supersede medical advice – but a depth of understanding about what your body is going through is very important.
Secondly, you should find a service with the kind of environment that works for you. Some people like group classes or busy gyms – whereas others prefer the privacy and focus of 1-1 coaching in a private studio. There’s no right or wrong on this point – just what works for you.
If you’re looking for a pregnancy personal trainer, we’d recommend visiting and experiencing the trainers or studios that appeal to you. A consultation will usually be free – and it gives you a really good chance to decide if you like the coaches, feel comfortable in the environment, and feel confident in the qualifications and experience the individual or team possesses.

Yes. We have personal trainers with a specialist qualification in pre natal exercise and post natal training sessions. To complement this qualification, they also have extensive real-world experience working with fitness training clients through each trimester.
Rest assured, you’re in expert hands when our team put together an exercise programme to take you through pregnancy and beyond.

While we definitely encourage everyone to continue training before, during and after their pregnancy, to keep their body strong and healthy, it’s all about doing what feels right for you and your body.
Our trainers can help at every stage of pregnancy. Some of our pre and postnatal clients were already training with us and kept training, before, during and after their pregnancy. Others come to us when they find out they’re pregnant, for guidance on how to work out in a safe and effective way. We also meet women much later on in their journey, who are looking to get back into fitness after a break.

We don’t. We realise that pregnancy group training can be a great social experience – but when it comes to exercising in a way that’s exactly right for you, there’s nothing that comes close to personal training.
Working with a personal trainer is the only way to make sure your workout is tailored to you and your exact needs. Constant observation and communication is an essential part of making sure your workout is right too – and that can be lost with group gym instructing.
