Buggy Bootcamp: The Workout That Gets Parents Moving (Pram Included!)

Let’s face it — squeezing in a workout when you’ve got a baby or toddler attached to you (sometimes literally) can feel impossible. That’s where Buggy Bootcamp rolls in.

Buggy Bootcamp is a postnatal-friendly, pram-inclusive fitness class designed for new mums, dads, and caregivers. It’s a space where your baby comes with you, not a reason you can’t go. Expect group sessions led by qualified trainers that combine strength, cardio, and core work — all while your little one hangs out in the comfort of their stroller.

Translation? You’ll sweat, connect, and maybe even finish a coffee while it’s still hot.

Why Parents Love It

1. Baby Comes Too
No need for childcare. Your baby stays in the pram, within arms reach, while you get your sweat on. They love the fresh air and movement — some even nap through it (bonus!).

2. Mum-Safe Movement
All exercises are tailored for postnatal recovery, diastasis recti, and core rebuilds. Plus, trainers know what it’s like to be running on 4 hours of sleep and caffeine.

3. Social Sweat Sessions
You’ll meet other local parents, exchange parenting hacks, and maybe even vent about teething while doing squats. It’s a fitness class and a sanity saver.

4. Outdoor Vibes
Classes are usually held in parks or open spaces, meaning you and your bub soak up some vitamin D while working out.

What to Expect in a Buggy Bootcamp Class

Each class is different, but you can expect a mix of:

• Warm-ups with mobility stretches

• Cardio intervals (think walking lunges, jogging laps, step-ups — all pram-compatible)

• Strength training using resistance bands or body weight

• Core and pelvic floor-focused exercises

• Cool down & stretching

• And yes, a few baby giggles along the way!

You’ll go at your own pace, and the vibe is super supportive — no judgement if you’ve had a rough night or if bub needs a snack break mid-set.

What to Bring

• A sturdy pram

• Water bottle

• Mat or towel for floor exercises

• Snacks (for you and bub)

• Toys to keep your little one entertained

• Layers, sunscreen, and hat for outdoor comfort

Who’s It For?

Buggy Bootcamp is ideal for:

• New mums in postnatal recovery (with clearance from your doctor)

• Parents looking to reintroduce gentle fitness

• Dads or caregivers wanting a baby-friendly way to stay active

• Anyone who wants to move, feel good, and still hang with their baby

Benefits Beyond the Burn

Aside from getting fitter and stronger, Buggy Bootcamp gives you:

• A reason to get out of the house

• A real sense of community and support

• Improved mood (thanks, endorphins!)

• Confidence in your post-baby body

• The glorious feeling of doing something just for you
