Learn to Run

Stroller Strength

Get some fresh air while you get fit! The best part is baby gets the best seat in the house warm and cosy in the pram. Stroller Strength is a one-hour class that intermixes walking, resistance exercises and mummy tummy toning all in one great class. Meet other mums, have fun and get fit.

Please note, all other WMSM face-to-face sessions have been suspended until further notice. Some sessions will be re-introduced online in a phased approach, so keep an eye on our website and Facebook page @WeMoveSheMoves for updates.

We are dedicated to helping you take every opportunity to enjoy the sessions that we offer. With this in mind, we have carefully considered what we can reasonably expect of each other.

Relating to COVID-19 (coronavirus)

Coronavirus is highly contagious (it spreads easily). Your health and the health of other We Move, She Moves participants is your responsibility.

Our commitment to you

1. We will put in place the government guidelines published online at www.gov.uk. These guidelines are aimed at reducing the risk of spreading coronavirus.
2. We will carry out a risk assessment of all the venues we use and ask all venues for their risk assessments and make changes to manage social distancing and provide effective infection control.
3. We will provide you with information about these changes, including any rules that we ask you to follow.

Your commitment to us and other participants

1. Do not enter attend a session if you or anyone in your household has coronavirus symptoms and follow NHS guidance.
2. By attending a session you accept that even though we have put in place the government guidelines, you are still at risk of getting coronavirus.
3. Make yourself aware of the government guidelines published online at www.gov.uk about protecting yourself and others from coronavirus, and follow them. Make yourself aware of the changes we have made and any rules we ask you to follow, and follow them.

Relating to exercise

 Our commitment to you 

1. We will respect your personal decisions, and allow you to make your own decisions about what exercise you can carry out. However, we ask you not to exercise beyond what you consider to be your own abilities.
2. We will take reasonable steps to make sure that the venue facilities are clean and safe for you to use and enjoy for the normal purpose they were intended for. Bear in mind that we are not able to clean or inspect equipment and facilities after each use.
3. We will take all reasonable steps to make sure that our instructors are qualified to the fitness industry standards as set out by the Register of Exercise Professionals.
4. If you tell us that you have a disability which puts you at a substantial disadvantage in accessing our sessions, we will consider what adjustments, if any, are reasonable for us to make.

 Your commitment to us 

1. Do not exercise beyond your own abilities. If you know or are concerned that you have a medical condition which might interfere with you exercising safely, before you attend a session you should get advice from a relevant medical professional, and follow that advice.
2. Make yourself aware of any rules and instructions and follow them. Exercise carries its own risks. When you are exercising, you are responsible for the risks involved. You should not carry out any activities which you have been told are not suitable for you.
3. Let the instructor know immediately if our equipment or venues we hire are unsafe to use or if you feel ill during a session.
4. If you have a disability, follow any reasonable instructions to allow you to exercise safely.

This statement is for guidance only. It is not a legally binding agreement between you and us and does not create any obligations which you or we must meet. 

We’ve all had to adjust to a different way of living in recent months and your We Move She Moves sessions will also have some changes.  Whilst sessions have been suspended the team, venues and instructors have been working hard to create a safe environment for you to come back to.  From the feedback we received from the WMSM survey we know many of you are excited to return to classes and that for a lot of you the amount of physical activity you have been doing has changed over the last few months.  We also know from your feedback how important cleanliness, social distancing measures and the support of the instructor is and so all these elements will be considered with our sessions.

There will be a phased restarting of classes as each of the sessions operate at different venues, have different equipment requirements and different space requirements and so we need to make sure we follow Government guidelines to keep you and the instructors safe.  As and when start dates for classes are confirmed the information will be uploaded to the class timetable.  We’ll include as much information about each session as possible to give you an idea of what to expect when you return as all the venues we use will have different procedures in place.

To give you an idea of some of the procedures which will be in place:

• Venues will likely have a one-way systems in place and access to some facilities will be restricted
• We ask you not to turn up to early for sessions as venues will have other bookings
• Activities should be pre-booked and the booking system for each class will be available in the information page for each class.
• Class numbers may be restricted to ensure social distancing can be maintained
• Class times may change to allow adequate cleaning time between sessions and to ensure participants and other venue users can exit and enter safely
• Some classes will be limited or unavailable initially
• Please read our Health Commitment Statement before attending any sessions
• Please ensure you adhere to social distancing throughout your session and are considerate to other venue users.
• All participants will need to bring own equipment to sessions

The health and safety of our residents is our number one priority, so we have taken the difficult decision to suspend our We Move, She Moves programme for the time being.

This means that we will no longer be running sessions across the borough until further notice.

We Move, She Moves is a movement to get women and girls in Hertsmere more active, more often and having fun in the process. There are lots of activities taking place each week. We have something to suit all ages, abilities and fitness levels.

We apologise for this and hope to be back in the community soon.

Please visit our website timetable for regular updates and our social media pages, follow us on facebook @wemoveshemoves.

Please see below ways to keep active at home, now more than ever it is important to keep fit and healthy.

Stay safe everyone,

The We Move, She Moves Team
