12 NYC Classes for Working Out with Your Baby

Working out is a wonderful way to unwind and release some much-needed endorphins after delivery. Don't miss any early mommy moments by working out with your baby right by your side. (Or sometimes in your arms!) 

PROnatal Stroller Workout

This class replicates movements you do everyday, like lifting, squatting, and carrying. Add in strength training and even cardio drills pushing your stroller to make this class a great workout. The class is outside in a variety of parks throughout the city, so its best to bring a mat or a blanket for floor work.

Battery Park, Central Park, Harlem, and McCarren Park

Zumbini

For this 45 minute class, you and your baby will dance, play with toys, and sing! All choreography is kid-friendly and a great way to get both you and your baby up and moving. This class is for kids ages 0 to 4. If you can’t make it to a class, Zumbini has its own TV show which incorporates the same moves and music.

Multiple locations throughout NYC.

Movin' Mamas

This class is resourceful as they come, using your own body weight, your stroller, park benches, and more for resistance. The class is limited to eight participants to ensure that each mama gets the attention they signed up for. The first half is Pilates and the second half is cardio. 

Central Park, New York
From November to April, JCC of Manhattan
$30 - $48 a person, rates vary depending on package

Xtend Barre: Baby On Board

Get ready for a challenging and fulfilling barre class where the added weight is your baby! All exercises help strengthen your core and improve balance while safely holding your baby in a sling or a carrier. You will not only feel close as can be to your baby while exercising, but you’ll get a great workout because of the added weight! This class is best suited for babies 18 pounds and under.

Tuesday and Thursday at 1:15pm

147 Remsen Street, Brooklyn

Fit4Mom Stroller Strides

This exercise combines power walking with strength intervals using your stroller and some equipment. Push your little one through Prospect Park and, while you’re getting in your workout, your baby will have fun too listening to songs and playing games throughout the class. If your little one gets antsy or hungry, this class is a safe space to pause and give him the attention he needs.

Bend & Bloom Postnatal Yoga

You may have heard of goat yoga and cat yoga, well now you can do baby yoga! For most of this class, you and your baby are moving through gentle yoga poses. The rest of the time is dedicated to infant massage, stretching, and singing. Bend & Bloom also offers other in-depth postnatal workshops as well as yoga classes specifically for toddlers and kids.
