Is 23W Essendon right for you?
Postpartum clients
MOM (Mothers Of Movement) classes available with specific focus on pelvic floor and core rehabilitation, pelvic stability and functional strength. Includes 30-minute postpartum assessment and shared care nanny service.
Women returning to exercise
Testimonials note welcoming environment for those returning after time away, including those with injuries. Women-only space and supportive community.
New mothers (under 12 months postpartum)
MOM 1 Week Trial specifically requires child under 12 months; 3 MOM class times available to work around baby schedules.
Maybe not for you if… Not suitable for those seeking a co-ed environment—studio is women-only (though notes inclusivity for trans women and gender-diverse individuals; some members prefer environment without cis or trans men for religious reasons).
