I am a personal trainer who specialises in pre & postnatal fitness and overall women's health.
Hi, my name is Ash!
I am a mother of two incredible boys and I am addicted to health and fitness. I am a qualified personal trainer with a special interest in pre & postnatal fitness. I would love nothing more than to guide you through a fit and healthy pregnancy or to assist you in losing your baby weight once your little one has arrived.
My Story
From a young age I discovered my passion for exercise, partaking in various sports at a provincial level. I studied a commerce degree at the University of Cape Town for 4 years and this is where my love for running really transpired. I started doing half marathons which lead to full and ultra marathons and which finally culminated in completing the Comrades marathon in 2010.
When I fell pregnant with my first born, the first questions which crossed my mind were:
- Can I still run and go to gym?
- Do I need to stop weight training?
- How will exercise affect my baby?
- At what intensity can I train at?
- How do I nutritionally compensate for the extra calories I am burning both in the gym and by growing a baby?
- Once my baby has arrived, how will exercise affect my milk supply when I am breastfeeding?
I started researching and found the information to be overwhelming and often contradictory. This inspired me to study personal training and to specialize in pre & postnatal fitness.
I am also a qualified group training instructor for an amazing fitness company called SWEAT 1000. These classes specialize in HIIT (high intensity interval training) which I am a firm believer in being one of the best ways to burn calories and become seriously fit.
And so here I am today - sharing my experience and love of exercise through FitMom.
I provide the following services:
- One-on-one personal training sessions in the comfort of your own home. I have a mobile gym so I take all the hassle out of finding a babysitter for your little one. Convenient and time effective.
- Group training sessions: team up with a buddy (or buddies), choose your ideal training location and book your time slot. The more friends you add the cheaper it gets!
- Full body assessments, goal alignment and nutritional advice/meal plans available on request
*PLEASE NOTE: Personal training sessions are NOT only restricted to "moms." Anyone is welcome!*
I would love to hear from you:
