Pregnancy · all trimesters

Growing a human? Let’s keep you strong.

Pregnancy comes with a lot of conflicting advice (and a lot of people telling you to take it easy). I’ll take the guesswork out and guide you through effective strength training that adapts to your growing body and baby, trimester by trimester.

Staying strong tends to mean more energy, better sleep, less back and pelvic pain, and an easier time through labour and recovery. Go 1:1 for coaching built around you, or use the pregnancy workouts in the app.

What is Kala?

Strong, supportive movement for every body.

The word Kala means anything is possible, and that’s how I coach. With the right mindset, guidance, support and dedication, you can absolutely achieve your goals.

It’s 1:1 coaching, online programming and an on-demand app, all built on one idea: Pilates, strength and mobility work better together. I work with beginners through to athletes, pregnant and postnatal women, people in peri and post-menopause, and anyone who wants to move and feel better in their body.

The goal is simple: to help you feel strong, capable and confident in your body, whatever season of life you’re in.

  • Strength

    Progressive weights, done well. Learn to lift properly, so carrying kids, shopping and suitcases up stairs becomes no big deal.

  • Pilates

    Deep core connection, breath and control. The foundation that makes everything else work better, pelvic floor included.

  • Mobility

    Joints that move freely, so the strength you build actually lasts. Down to the floor and back up, minus the grunt.

  • Made enjoyable

    Challenging but supportive, with a bit of banter. Coaching you’ll look forward to, not dread.

In their words

Ten years of clients getting stronger.

“I’m a chiropractor and have trained with many Pilates/yoga teachers over the years, and I can say that hands down, Bridget is the best I’ve ever come across, by far. Her knowledge, experience and classes are excellent and I’ve sent many patients her way without any concern.”
Barney LucasChiropractor
“I did 1-1 classes with Bridget throughout my pregnancy, she had a really good understanding of the changes I was going through and how I would need to adapt my Pilates. At the same time, I found she really pushed and challenged me to advance (even as I was getting bigger!), much more so than any other prenatal exercise I did. I went into birth and recovery feeling super strong and fit thanks to Bridget!”
Jenny WTrained through pregnancy
“After my second child, I was stiff, experiencing lower back pain and a bit unsure about how to restart exercise. Doing Pilates with Bridget really helped me build back my strength and flexibility. She is a real expert in postnatal provision and has a lovely balance of being supportive but making you push yourself. We started off in person and I was sceptical that the sessions wouldn’t be as high quality when we moved online. But I found the online program just as impactful as the in-person sessions.”
Laura BPostnatal, in person then online
“Bridget’s attentive Pilates sessions were such an important part of my post-birth recovery. I had a caesarean section and was very weak but found my strength came extremely quickly after we started our sessions. Bridget is very detailed and knowledgeable. Her flexible approach made it really easy to manage while I had a baby with me at our sessions.”
Sarah CPostnatal, after a caesarean
“Bridget was incredibly helpful in helping me rebuild my core strength and general fitness in the postnatal period. Her personal training was supportive but challenging and meticulous at the same time. Working with her meant I ended up feeling fitter and stronger than I had before pregnancy.”
Katherine RPostnatal
“My sessions with Bridget are still the hardest sessions even though I box and lift weights! She has amazing attention to detail and focuses on correct methods and alignment, and you’ll feel safe in her hands. I trained with her throughout my pregnancy and when I got back into exercising afterwards it was just the right pace to slowly build my fitness again.”
Maria GhaniPregnancy & beyond
“Sessions were very helpful during pregnancy to maintain strength and definitely helped during birth and beyond. She carefully selected exercises suitable for each trimester. We also worked together after birth to ease me back into exercising. I would recommend her to any pregnant woman.”
CigdemPregnancy & postnatal
“Bridge is a really knowledgeable, friendly and reliable PT. Going into my second birth I really wanted to continue strength and cardio training in a safe way to feel strong and keep managing a toddler while pregnant! My training with Bridge really helped me to do that. She happily (and skilfully!) adjusted depending on how I was feeling and I always came out feeling better for having trained.”
Hannah MSecond pregnancy
“Training with Bridget throughout my prenatal fitness journey was the best decision. She didn’t just give me workouts, she educated me on safe modifications, which made me feel deeply comfortable and confident about staying active. Her guidance was key to ensuring I had a great, strong pregnancy.”
Vanda HPregnancy
“Bridget has been an amazing support through my postpartum recovery and return to exercise. She is highly knowledgeable and developed a structured and personalised exercise programme for me, all in the comfort of my own home. I would highly recommend her services for any new (or expecting) mums!”
Daniela MPostnatal, at home
“I started seeing Bridget a few months after I had my baby to help rebuild my strength, in particular my core. Over the past 10 weeks Bridget has helped me to strengthen and stretch my hips, back and core. She’s able to help you push to your own personal limit and challenge yourself whilst still smiling and laughing. Couldn’t recommend her more highly!”
Georgina CPostnatal
“Bridge is honestly THE best Pilates teacher I have come across, and I’ve done a LOT of Pilates classes in my lifetime! I have had a bad back since I was about 15, and since I’ve been doing Bridge’s classes I’ve gained a huge amount of flexibility and my pain has reduced considerably. She has gradually built my confidence and my strength to the point now where I can join in any class.”
RuthBack pain
“Having done Pilates for a number of years due to a chronic back problem caused by too many years of playing sports, I have learnt the importance of working with a teacher that is right for you. Bridget has fantastic knowledge of my condition, what works for me, and what work needs to be done to ensure that my interest in sports isn’t restricted to the sidelines!”
Mark CorrellChronic back pain
“Bridget is by far the best Pilates teacher I’ve ever found. Her classes are a full body workout that work you really hard but leave you feeling amazing. I’ve built up so much strength and tone through them. I’ve loved every class I’ve attended and no two have ever been the same.”

About

I’m Bridget, your Pilates instructor and strength coach.

I’ve spent over ten years coaching first-timers, athletes, women through pregnancy and back out the other side, people in perimenopause, and plenty rebuilding after injury.

Very different starting points, but the approach never changes: understand how your body moves, then build real strength from there. Whatever season you’re in, you’ll be supported and challenged in equal measure.

“I’m not asking for perfection, just presence and consistency.”
