Glowing Mamma Concept

The concept behind Glowing Mamma is it’s ‘not just a fitness class’. Using my expertise in women’s- health plus my experience as a mum of four, I developed the type of class I know I’d have loved to attend myself! We’re very laid- back and flexible in our approach to running classes- you are welcome to rest, grab a drink and use the facilities as and when you need to.
