Are you struggling to lose the excess baby weight from pregnancy?
Do you have no energy to go to the gym, or feel uncomfortable?
About me
Aiken Bodies offers a range of services for both mums and babies in fitness and baby massage.
Established in 2002 by myself, Karlee Aiken, as a personal training company training clients in the City, Tower Bridge and Charlton Athletic Football Club.
In 2003 I fell pregnant with my first child. When I had my son, I was eager to get back into shape and to shed the excess baby weight from pregnancy.
At the time any gyms in the area that had a crêche required my baby to be over 6 months old and I had to book him in 2 weeks in advance. This put me off immediately as I didn't know how I would be feeling the next day, never mind in 2 weeks!

I used to take my son to Hackney City Farm where they had music and movement for babies. I met so many mums here who felt the same way I did. It was then that I decided to organise an exercise class specifically for mums and their babies.
I designed a 'Legs, bums and tums' class using your baby as resistance, so also allowing you to interact with your baby. This class proved to be very popular and so I introduced it in Highbury, Walthamstow, Leyton and Enfield. In the summer I set up ‘Buggy fitness’ in Victoria and Clissold Park in London – power-walking with buggies and doing circuits. My personal training sessions are done in the comfort of your own home or in the park.
I have always been interested in things to do with my child and to share them with other mums. In April 2008 I completed my baby massage course with the International Association of Infant Massage (IAIM).
It was the best thing I have ever done and I really wish I had done it with my son as the benefits are enormous. Not only do they benefit your baby but they benefit YOU as well. It is a great way to help with sleepless nights, stress and tension, if you are suffering from post-natal depression or even if you just want to meet other mums. For babies it helps with colic, teething problems, sleep, excess mucus and much, much more. My baby massage sessions are held at Kiddi Caru Day Nurseries in Writtle, Chelmsford and Colchester in Essex. They are in a very clean, child friendly environment and have ample parking.
My classes are designed to help you relax, spend quality time with your baby and help you feel good about yourself.
