We've partnered with North Northamptonshire Council to develop services to support expectant and new mums to stay active during pregnancy and after birth.

We’re gathering feedback to understand local needs better and shape future programmes. If you are currently pregnant, a new mum, or have children under 5, we’d love to hear from you.

Your feedback will help improve opportunities, facilities and support, so women feel safe, confident and welcome when being active. All responses will be treated confidentially.

📅 Closes 28 April

💧 Good Boost Sessions – Feel Better in the Water! 💧

Join us for our Good Boost aquatic exercise sessions at The Nene Centre

🗓️ Every Tuesday at 11am

💧 Why Exercise in Water? 💧

Exercising in water offers a unique and effective way to stay active—no matter your fitness level!

🌊 The benefits of aquatic exercise:

✔️ Reduces strain on joints and muscles
✔️ Supports your body, making movement easier
✔️ Improves mobility, flexibility & strength
✔️ Helps manage pain and long-term conditions
✔️ Allows you to exercise at higher intensity with less impact on the heart

💙 Water creates natural hydrostatic pressure, which can help lower heart rate and improve circulation—making workouts both safe and effective.

🌊 Sessions include:
✔️ Guided water-based exercises
✔️ Personalised programmes using Good Boost technology
✔️ Support for joint pain & mobility
✔️ Low-impact, high-benefit workouts
✔️ A friendly, supportive environment

🤝 Ideal for those with:
• Arthritis
• Back pain
• Osteoporosis
• Ankylosing spondylitis (AS)
• Joint pain or replacements
• Fibromyalgia
• And many other musculoskeletal conditions

Take the pressure off your body and discover a new way to move! 🌟
