Bump Boost is a gentle, supportive, water-based exercise programme designed specifically for pregnancy, helping you stay active, build confidence and feel better in your body.
Each session features a personalised exercise programme tailored to your symptoms, abilities and stage of pregnancy. Whether you want to ease pregnancy-related aches and pains, improve strength and balance or boost your cardiovascular fitness, you can move at your own pace with the support of a facilitator.
The natural support of the water helps you exercise in a low-impact environment, while the friendly group setting offers motivation, connection and support throughout your pregnancy.
These sessions can be done at Xcite Bathgate, Xcite Linlithgow & Xcite Whitburn.
Bump Boost is designed specifically for pregnant people who would benefit from gentle, supportive, water-based exercise, including those who:
- Experience pregnancy-related aches and pains, such as Pelvic Girdle Pain (PGP) or Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction (SPD)
- Want to improve strength, balance or cardiovascular fitness
- Are looking to stay active and maintain confidence with exercise during pregnancy
- Would benefit from a personalised approach to movement and physical activity
- Enjoy the motivation and support of exercising in a group
You don’t need to be a strong swimmer to take part. Bump Boost considers your water confidence, symptoms and stage of pregnancy to help create an exercise programme that feels right for you.
Every programme is tailored to you, so you can move at your own pace, with support and encouragement along the way.
On your first visit, you will complete the free induction. The induction takes 20–30 minutes and gets you set up on the tablet. Once this is done, you will be ready for your first session.
If you plan to exercise on the same day, please account for your induction time when arriving at the venue.
Booking in advance is recommended to ensure tablet availability and minimise waiting time. Drop-in access may be available during session times where capacity allows (Please check with venue first).
