Prams in the Park - Aberdeen & Aberdeenshire
Prams in the Park by Rebel PT is the most effective way to get up and get outdoors exercising after having your baby. The classes often involve strength training, cardio, and a lot of teamwork. If this sounds like fun to you, sign up for a free trial here.
This hour-long buggy fitness class is a postnatal programme designed to be fun and interactive, whatever fitness stage you are at, using your own body weight and keeping your baby alongside you in its pram.
The class uses a combination of tailor-made exercises to deliver a total body workout and all designed to help achieve your fitness goals, with the help of your certified Rebel Personal Trainer, your baby and your pram. Our fun classes will give you a varied exercise routine to help build your core strength by working your muscles, increasing your heart rate and bringing you lots of additional benefits from regular exercise.
A support network, social opportunity and buggy Bootcamp class all-in-one!

The Benefit of Prams in the Park for Postpartum Mums
It doesn’t matter how sleep deprived you are. Prams in the Park gives you that excuse to roll out of bed and try and get a workout done. Sometimes you come for the exercise, sometimes you come along for the chat and sometimes you’ll only make it in time for the post Bootcamp coffee. Whatever you manage to get done, we promise to boost your energy levels and help you to leave the park feeling good.
The social side of Prams is just as important as the exercise. We hope that you can meet your ‘mum tribe’ at these fitness classes and share advice, inspiration, motivation, and have a good laugh (or cry, being a mum is tough!).
FAQS
No previous fitness or training is required! This class is for all fitness levels, and whether you are a new mum recovering from pregnancy or a conditioned mum, this class is suitable for you.
Prams in the Park is suitable for any prenatal woman as long as they have trained throughout their pregnancy. Our fitness sessions are ideal for postnatal women who have had a vaginal birth +6 weeks ago or c-section +12 weeks ago. Men with their Pram are also more than welcome to join the classes.
We design the exercises to be safe and effective with any pram.
We will rarely cancel Rebel PT classes due to bad weather. As such, please make sure you are appropriately clothed and ensure your baby is wrapped up warm. Wellie boots for toddlers come in handy if they enjoy splashing in puddles.
- We recommend wearing comfortable clothing or activewear such as leggings, tracksuit bottoms, or joggers.
- You should wear trainers or running shoes with socks.
- Because the weather can be temperamental, you may also like to bring waterproofs if you have them.
- We also recommend a dry sweater and towel for afterwards, particularly if it has been raining, and a carrier bag for your car seat on the way home! Gloves are a must in the winter, and we also recommend wearing a hat (Rebel PT beanie hats are available).
- Lastly, for the ladies, don’t forget a well-fitting sports bra.
- Bring a water bottle for yourself and plenty of drinks and snacks for your baby. We suggest pram toys or books for your little one and a sunshade/rain cover for the pram.
Yes, of course! We would love for you to get stuck in to both styles of classes. If you try a Bootcamp class, you will notice a similarity between the two types of sessions. They are also designed to push yourself as hard as you feel comfortable and include individual, partner and teamwork.
Preparation for you and your baby
Please ensure your baby has been fed and changed before the class and if you are breastfeeding, please ensure you are comfortable before you start the class. Your baby will stay in the pram during the session, but if they are unhappy, sick or needs changing, please feel comfortable to tend to their needs / pop them on a picnic blanket and rejoin the class when you can. Your Trainer will help you do this safely.

“I absolutely love the Prams in the Park class.
I can honestly say it was the best class I joined during my maternity leave and the one where I made the most friends. From my first ever trial class everyone was so welcoming. The trainers tailor each class to suit whatever part of the journey you are at so no need to worry if you haven't exercised much during pregnancy.
Classes are varied each week with lots of different elements including individual, partner and group work so you can work to your own maximum without the pressure of having to keep up with anyone else. Lynn is also super encouraging which really helps keep me motivated. It's the only class I have attended that supports my fitness and also my role as a Mummy. So glad I have found my tribe.”
