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.
We'll Help You Feel 'You' Again
Giving birth is usually one of the most physically traumatic things that happens to a person’s body. For nine months, your body has been transformed into an incubator for the baby growing inside you – then, giving birth puts an untold strain on virtually every muscle you have.
As such, it’s perfectly normal to feel different after giving birth. Your body will almost always feel different – and the sudden changes in hormones and bodily processes can leave your brain feeling different too.
At Dr stretch, we do more than ‘just’ personal training. We’ll help you understand what your body has been through, then help you make adjustments to ensure your recovery is as smooth as possible. Managable and safe exercise is at the heart of what we do – but we’re also qualified to talk to you about how your diet, levels of rest, and other lifestyle factors will help recovery too.
Experienced Pre and Postnatal Personal Trainers
It’s important not to assume that just any personal trainer will be able to effectively coach you through recovering from child-birth. There are big differences in the kind of fitness programme for someone who’s recently given birth, especially around safety.
This is where expert knowledge of what pregnancy does to your body is absolutely essential. This is a level of expert knowledge we’re proud to have here at Dr stretch. As well as the appropriate qualifications, we have thousands of hours of experience training people who are recovering after giving birth.
You may or may not choose Dr stretch to have by your side as you recover – but it’s vital that you work with coaches who fully understand the unique challenges that personal training presents for people after childbirth.

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.

Yes. No two births are exactly the same, so it’s important to seek medical advice before you make any plans to start exercising (whether that’s with us, or just generally).
Don’t worry if this means that exercise is limited for the time being or just not feasible. When you get in touch, we’re always happy to talk to you about how personal training can fit alongside your doctor’s recommendations. You might even decide to start with some online training so you can fit your sessions in between changes, feeds, and nap times!

After a natural birth, your GP should sign you off for exercise after your 6 week check up. After a c-section, you should wait at least 12 weeks before training. Of course, it goes without saying there’s absolutely no rush to start a fitness programme.
There are small exercises you can start doing before you are signed off for training in the gym – breathing work, pelvic floor exercises and core activation being especially important. Your personal trainer will guide you with these exercises and explain how to gradually build up.
