Our Get Stronger for Babywearing Series allows new parents to gain knowledge and skills to use your baby carrier in your day-to-day life, and for exercise.
This series is designed for caregivers to build strength, improve posture, and increase endurance specifically for the demands of babywearing. In a supportive, welcoming environment, you'll focus on safety and form while engaging in exercises targeting your core, upper body and lower body. Each session includes education, power walking, strength work, and flexibility exercises to enhance your babywearing experience. The goal is to make babywearing more comfortable, enjoyable, and sustainable for both you and your baby, reducing discomfort and improving confidence.
All fitness levels are welcome, and the class is open to caregivers with babies in carriers.
Online postnatal intake form must be completed before your first class.
Spring 2025 registration coming March 5. Join our newsletter to get early access on March 4.

Aileen Hunt
Owner & Instructor
Teaches: Prenatal Aquafit, Stroller Fitness, Mom & Baby Fitness, Mom & Baby Barre, Postnatal Core, Infant Massage
With a bachelor’s degree in modern dance, Aileen has had a lifelong love for movement. She has never considered herself a sporty person and fondly remembers signing up for the third grade softball team just to get the cute hat. She's a non-typical fitness instructor who loves moving and being outdoors.
Aileen taught Aquafit classes for several years, including throughout her twin pregnancy. When she became a parent in 2008, she decided to become a certified Manitoba Fitness Council Group Fitness Leader and Pre & Postnatal Fitness Specialist and bring specialized pre/postnatal classes to Winnipeg in 2009. She benefitted from her own programs through her second pregnancy in 2012. Her classes focus on the joy of movement and creating connections with each other and our families.
Aileen is also a self-proclaimed Winnipeg booster, who loves our community and is enthusiastic about making it a better place for us all. Prior to teaching pre/postnatal fitness, she worked and volunteered for several art organizations.
Her love of fitness, community connection and the outdoors drives her desire to help Winnipeg families stay healthy and strong, all while having a good time!
