Sam Deville Pilates

Best for rebuilding strength after a C-section

After being told surgery was her only option to heal severe diastasis recti following two C-sections, Sam Deville rebuilt her core through Pilates and avoided surgery entirely. This experience led her to develop the Rebuild & Rise Postnatal Series – a six-part programme designed to restore strength, confidence and connection from the inside out. Each class acts as a building block, progressively targeting core, glutes, posture and breath. When you’re feeling strong, head back to Sam’s signature SDP Method – a smart approach that combines Pilates principles with functional strength training. 

Launching November. From £19.99 per month; 14-day free trial available.

The Bump Plan

Best for full-spectrum support

Created be award-winning pre- and postnatal trainer Hollie Grant, The Bump Plan guides you through every phase of the journey – from the first trimester to postnatal rehab. Each stage has been designed alongside a physio, ensuring workouts are safe, targeted, and always adapted to what your body can handle. Trimester-specific routines focus on core connection, posture and mobility, while the postnatal plan offers a phased approach, whether you’ve had a vaginal birth, C-section or assisted delivery. The on-demand workouts are short and flexible, making them realistic to fit into busy days, while the education hub offers in-depth guidance on everything from pelvic floor activation to breathing techniques. With community support and evidence-based programming, The Bump Plan feels like a trusted coach by your side. 

From £20 per month; seven-day free trial available.

The Barre Coach

Best for a low-impact approach

For those who love the posture-enhancing, sculpting benefits of barre, Gen Greensted’s Bump & Beyond series – part of The Barre Coach platform – is a top pick for those looking to maintain confidence and tone without the high impact. The programme is divided into trimester-specific workouts that evolve with your body, alongside specialist sessions for birth prep and pelvic floor health. Postnatally, the focus shifts to core rehab and strength, helping you reintroduce movement without compromising recovery. The experience is elevated – clear cues, elegant pacing, and a studio-like feel that makes each class enjoyable as well as effective. 

From £25 per month; seven-day free trial available.

Pliability

Best for easing pregnancy aches

Known for its game changing approach to flexibility, Pliability has become a go-to platform for athletes and desk-bound workers alike. Within this wider platform, Pregnancy Pathways has been designed specifically for expectant mums, in collaboration with a six-time CrossFit champion and women’s health experts, focusing on mobility, stretching and recovery rather than high-intensity training. The idea is simple – small, consistent sessions that keep you moving comfortably as your body changes. Each trimester offers three guided routines per week, targeting common discomforts like lower back pain and tight hips. For women already active, it’s a great complement to other training; and for those experiencing aches, it’s a gentle entry point to movement.

From $14.99 per month; seven-day free trial available.
