Frequently asked questions:

How much does it cost?

One on one PT - Provided you live in the greater Hobart area 60 minute sessions cost $65, and this includes a home program. 

Small Group PT – max 4 – costs between $25 – $40 per session.  Meet at a friend’s house and share the cost of personalised training – each participant receives a program.  Sessions may take a little longer, depending on numbers.

6 sessions at Hobart Aquatic Centre - $132 includes childcare (even if you have more than one child).  Sessions take place at 11.30 Mondays and are run periodically.

6 sessions at Lindisfarne Community Centre – 37a Lincoln St.  6 sessions cost $99, plus $30-$40 for a swiss ball.  If you already own a swiss ball, its just $99.  Bring a towel and yoga mat if you have one.

What is the difference in the 4 options?

·         The benefit of a one on one PT session is that I come to you at a time that suits you are your baby.  The program will be tailored to meet your needs.  Being a 1 on 1 service it is very personal and private – ask questions at any time.  Be educated, empowered, and independent. 

·         The small group PT is similar in that you have the chance to talk, ask questions, and ensure that your program is precisely what you body requires.

·         The 6 session pass at the Hobart Aquatic Centre is ideal for mums with multiple children, or want to focus on their workout without interruption.  Perhaps this is your only ‘timeout’, it’s important to prioritise your own health.  The greatest gift you can give your baby is a healthy mum.  Child carer’s are qualified and there are strict limits to this intake – bookings are essential.

·         The 6 session pass at Lindisfarne Community Centre is very similar to the Hobart Aquatic Centre class in terms of content.  However, you are welcome to bring your baby (but not other young children).  You will also need to bring a swiss exercise ball, and a towel and yoga mat.  Orders are taken a week before the class starts if you need to buy one.  They cost between $30-$40 depending on the size.  The class is 60 minutes long and at 11am on a Thursday.  Classes run periodically.

How long after I have my baby can I attend?

You can come after you have been cleared by your health care professional following  your 6 week check, and you feel up to it.

I had my baby 6 months ago (or longer) – are these classes still appropriate?

Absolutely.  1 in 3 women who have a baby wet themselves.  Get your pelvic floor back into shape, and your core and pelvic muscles toned.  If you don’t you risk incontinence and injury down the track, even if you are in other ways very fit.  Sometimes we have to take a step backwards to move forwards.  Sometimes we need to refer you on to a women’s health physio.  That’s all part of the service.
