Any of you pregnant ladies interested in going to check it out? I took a look at their website and am planning on going next week to look at it and if all goes well, will be starting the 2x a week classes in January (yoga/pilates) and would be interested in some of their courses as well.

Oh, I'm about 5 months along (21 weeks) and live in pvca BsAs but will be driving into the city for this.

Congrats R! So happy for you. I did their classes when I was pregnant, the instructor at the time had mentioned that she might be leaving, so may be a different person. They were good in terms of forcing you to stretch, relax etc. There were some aspects I thought were a bit silly (ie there was one class where we were supposed to take a tube from a paper towel roll and use it to talk to the baby.... I could hardly stop myself from laughing.) Also I'm not the type to name the baby before it comes out, maybe superstitious, I don't know, but I still find it weird that people refer to the baby by name before it arrives -- I've had friends send me pics saying something like "Mum, Dad, Isa, and Manu at the beach" and there's only 3 people in the photo... then I realise that Manu is the pregnant belly....)

However they did keep me moving throughout pregnancy -- I ran up until 20 weeks, biked until 35, and did the classes until 39 weeks.

The shop also has good discounts on sundays and any time there's a holiday / valentine's / mother's day etc -- friend them on facebook and you'll get notice of the offers.

Good luck!
