Aiken Bodies offers a range of services for both mum's 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 gym's in the area that had a creche 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 mum's here who felt the same way I did. It was then that I decided to organise an exercise class specifically for mum's and their babies. I designed a 'leg's, bum's and tum's' class using your baby as resistance as well as interacting 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, powerwalking 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 mum's. In April 2008 I completed my baby massage course with the International Association of Infant Massage (IAIM).

It was the best thing I had ever done and really wished 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 mum's. For babies they help 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 child friendly environment, are very clean and have ample parking.

My classes are designed to help you relax, spend quality time with your baby and to feel good about yourself.
