Welcome to StartStrong Fitness CIC
We are a grant-funded parent and baby exercise community interest company, offering free exercise classes for pregnant women, new mums, and dads. Our classes provide a space for parents to work out while their babies relax and play—no need to worry about childcare. Just come along, get active, and connect with like-minded people.
Our mission is to ensure no parent navigates the journey of parenthood alone. We’re building a supportive community, using exercise as a way to bridge the gap, foster meaningful conversations, and have fun while getting a great workout!
Parent & Baby Exercise Classes
We offer free fitness classes specifically designed for pregnant women, new mums, and dads. Our classes cater to those dealing with high BMI, gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, and postnatal depression. We aim to provide not just physical exercise, but a supportive community where parents can connect, share experiences, and build lasting friendships.
With classes in Ipswich, Colchester, Braintree and soon expanding to other areas, we ensure that financial barriers do not prevent anyone from participating. Each session is a safe space where you can bring your baby, focus on your health, and find the emotional support you need.
Join us today to prioritise your well-being, connect with like-minded parents, and become part of a thriving community. Sign up for our classes to join the family today!
