Tim Matthews

Pregnancy & Post-natal Fitness Specialist

Hi, I’m Tim Matthews and I’ve helped hundreds of mums to safely exercise during pregnancy and the post-natal period. I can help you to quickly understand which exercises are going to be safe for you plus give you expert advice on nutrition. My personalised, professional and up-to-date advice is only a phone call away.

After graduating from university, I began working in both professional sport and at one of the worlds leading health clubs. Obviously as I guy, I can’t say it was my own personal experience as a mum that lead me to my current career! Instead, I developed my specialist interest after attending a course where it became clear greater awareness was needed for the multiple health benefits of exercise for both expectant and new mums. I became involved in services for the pre and post-natal period, developing, refining and honing skills over time. Today I run my own consultancy, helping expectant and new mothers to make the most of safe, healthy exercises and nutritional advice. Did you know that only 19% of mums to be actually exercise to recommended levels? Yet there are so many fantastic benefits to be had and I can help you gain them all.

I genuinely believe that every pregnancy as the unique as the mum to be herself. My friendly, whole body approach will help you feel stronger and fitter quicker! For some reason, personal trainers probably suffer from a bit of an image problem. Some people are worried it must involve the ‘trainer’ screaming at you, pushing you and slogging you all the way to some ‘idealised’, perfect body. Understandably, this is the last thing you could possibly want. I am here to reassure you nothing could be further from the truth with my services. Instead, I work within your limits, giving you tailored advice on your own goal-orientated safe exercise plan.

New mums can also rest assured that I can offer them genuinely supportive help. Post-natal training isn’t just for the rich and famous to get in shape. With me, it’s also never about any kind of military style hardcore training. I work with your needs and lifestyle, as a safe supportive professional who is behind you every step of the way.

You may be looking to manage weight gain during your pregnancy, or losing postnatal baby weight. You might be looking for help with the baby blues or for a specific postural or muscular imbalance. You can call me at Greatvine to help you achieve your goals, whatever they may be. I look forward tremendously to helping you succeed,

Tim
