Earlier this month, many organisations marked International Women’s Day, a wonderful reminder to acknowledge the strength, resilience and achievements of women everywhere. On Manly’s beachfront, that celebration quietly happens every morning at Buggy Bootcamp. Why Mums and Bubs Fitness is About More Than Movement Not just once a year, but every single morning Buggy Bootcamp…
Why we don't believe in a "Pre-Baby body" and "Bouncing Back" after having a baby...
Discover how Buggy Bootcamp helps new mums rebuild strength and confidence in a safe, supportive way
We don’t use phrases like “Pre-Baby Body” ... and here’s why
You won’t hear us talk about “getting your pre-baby body back.” Because honestly? That body didn’t carry and birth a human.
That body didn’t survive broken sleep, sore nipples, or days when even a shower felt ambitious. That body wasn’t a mother.
At Buggy Bootcamp, we don’t insult you with “bounce back” rhetoric. We honour what your body’s been through and help you rebuild strength in a way that makes sense for this chapter.
It’s About Getting YOU Back
New Motherhood is a whirlwind. One day you’re killing it at work, smashing long sunday runs and enjoying spontaneous weekend adventures… the next, you’re Googling “is baby poop meant to be that colour?” and forgetting what day it is.
But you’re still in there. The strong, active woman who used to prioritise fitness? She’s not gone… she’s just waiting for space to move again.
That’s where we come in.
Exercise That Supports You, Not Pressures You
Motherhood is beautiful, but it’s also brutal. Between broken sleep, cluster feeds, and toddler tantrums, it’s easy to lose your sense of identity. At Buggy Bootcamp, we believe postnatal fitness is about reconnecting with your own sense of self during maternity leave and beyond.
Our outdoor, pram-friendly sessions are designed with postnatal recovery in mind:
No ego, no comparison, no pressure.
Rebuild core and pelvic floor strength safely.
Move your body, clear your mind, feel human again.
And yes, your baby is always welcome. Nap in the pram, play on the mat, or demand snacks from the sidelines—we’ve seen it all. Even come on your daycare days without bubs – totally fine too!
''Bounce Back"
You Need Support.
Because It’s Not Just Physical
Sleep-deprived? Overwhelmed? We get it. Movement is more than just physical, it’s a mental health tool.
A brisk outdoor session with other mums who get it can transform your entire day. Studies show that regular exercise boosts energy levels, lifts mood, and helps regulate sleep, even if you’re running on fumes.
Movement is our sanity-saver. Our anchor. Our “me-time” in a day that’s otherwise all about everyone else.
You won’t regret working out with Buggy Bootcamp. We’ll be your sanity-saver in a sea of sleep depreivation!
