Looking for post baby exercise group
Hi,
I'm trying to get into shape after having my baby and can't seem to find a way to do it. She doesn't like the childwatch at the Y so I'm really looking for a group where I can take her with me. Anyone know of stroller workout group in the Berkeley? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!

Hi,
There's one at Cerrito Vista Park, in El Cerrito. Not sure if that's too far for you. I haven't gone yet, but I see it advertised often in the Main Street Mamas facebook group.
I haven't participated in this, but I have heard about Mama Army: http://mamaarmy.com/about
I've been going to Mama Army, its a stroller workout group especially for moms and kids of age a few months to 3-4 years. Angela leads the class and is an awesome fitness instructor. The class is suitable for all fitness levels. The classes are really fun and you can push yourself as hard (or as little) as you want. She structures the class to have a section on cardio, conditioning, and lastly core. I highly recommend her classes! http://mamaarmy.com/
There is a baby boot camp at lake temescal. It meets at 9:30 Monday thru Thursday and is a pretty strenuous 1 hour stroller workout. You can find out more info by googling baby boot camp lake temescal. The first class is free, then there are different package options you can buy.
Hello, check out Mama Army group! First class is free there: http://mamaarmy.com/
I loved the Mama Army stroller class run by Angela Warren. I started going at 10ish weeks postpartum, she does a great job of catering the class for all levels of recovery/fitness. I definitely felt like I had lost all fitness during pregnancy and was a little intimidated to show up the first time, but really glad I did and over the course of a few weeks made a lot of gains physically and mentally. The moms who go are all super welcoming and supportive, I had a great time at the weekday classes while on maternity leave and have attended 1 weekend class since getting back to work recently and will definitely continue to go. Highly recommend Mama Army!

It sounds like Mama Army would be a great fit for you with trainer Angela Warren. She teaches Mon-thurs at 10am at ocean view park in Albany in the tennis courts and Saturday’s at 9 at shorebird in Berkeley. It’s a super awesome group of moms and Angela is amazing. You can take your baby or toddler with you and Angela customized workouts just for postpartum mamas! Monthly rates or drop in available and your first class is dress. Angela also organizes social events for her clients and it’s a great way to build community. Check it out at www.mamaarmy.com
Mama Army!!! Angela is wonderful and so knowledgeable. Mon-Thurs is in a tennis court so older babies can play and roam free. New babes like to just watch all the activity.
I love, love, love Mama Army Playgroup Fitness (http://mamaarmy.com/). Great workout where kids can play alongside you.
Check out Mama Army for sure! It's an awesome, supportive community of moms and little ones. Angela works hard to make the workouts fun and challenging but also modifiable for all ability levels. She has a great sense of humor, is good with kids, knowledgeable about postpartum bodies...I could go on and on. She has created such an amazing new group for moms and families.
