Fjord Personal Training is a personal training studio at 17 Arawa Street in Tainui, Dunedin, that specialises in safe exercise during pregnancy and after birth. It is run around the trainer Bethany Shaw, who has more than 14 years in fitness and has worked in the UK, the USA, Australia, Norway and New Zealand. Bethany is a mother of two, and the programmes are built for pre and postnatal fitness and recovery.
Programmes focus on posture, muscle strength and pelvic floor concerns, and the studio says it can help with diastasis recti and pelvic floor issues. One client, after eight weeks of training with Bethany, said her body had improved in all areas and that back and pelvic pain was now rare. She said Bethany adjusts sessions day to day and corrects positions to keep her safe. The website invites pregnant and postnatal women to get in touch for guidance.
