Channon Charles - Exercise Instructor

About Channon

Hi Mamas! I’m Channon, owner of Sweaty Mama Beckenham. I am a Lockdown Mama! I had my first baby during the covid pandemic and was that an experience and a half! Like all Mamas on maternity and especially during 2020, I have been seeking out ways to get back into shape post birth and socialise with the Mamas in my area. And I know I’m not the only one. Since having my baby boy, I realised all too well that it’s important to do what you truly love. And for me, that’s fitness and exercise, dance and generally having fun…. Ta da! Sweaty Mama Beckenham was born. If you’re a Mum, Daughter, Sister, Nan, Aunty or friend who wants to build up your fitness (post birth or just in general), socialise with other Mamas during your maternity, make new friends or find new ways to bond with your baby, we’ve got you! ; ) I’m looking forward to meeting all you Mamas for some fitness and some fun!

Frequently asked questions

I’VE JUST HAD A BABY - WHEN AM I ALLOWED TO FIRST COME ALONG TO SWEATY MAMA?

You can begin after the OK from your GP/Midwife usually given at your post natal 6+ week check. You would begin by keeping the exercise low intensity and then as you regain fitness and your baby builds up strength in their neck too you would then be able to give it a little bit more energy! The whole point is to reintroduce you to exercise in a fun and enjoyable way for both you and your baby - I am sure you would both love it!

CAN I PLEASE TRY 1 SESSION FIRST TO MAKE SURE I LIKE IT?

If you prefer, you can pay for a trial class which is £9.

WHAT HAPPENS IF I AM AWAY ON HOLIDAY OR CANNOT MAKE A CLASS?

Sweaty Mama works on a continual 6 week course however we are Mamas too and understand sometimes life, a poonami or a projectile vomit get in the way! If you have a bad night, or need to swap groups we are happy to be flexible should you need to. We would just need you to let us know so that we can check availability of other groups. Double up one week to work around holidays too so you dont miss out - and get bikini ready the week before or burn off those Extra Holiday treats the week after

IS MY CHILD TOO OLD/ TOO HEAVY?

Not at all! Younger babies are more suitable in a carrier as this allows them to stay close to Mum, however older children may be free-held or held for only part of the workout. You may find you get more out of the workout as you can use your upper body also. The workouts are easily adapted to suit the age and weight of the child

CAN I UNDERTAKE THE WORKOUT WITH TWINS OR MORE THAN 1 CHILD?

Many of our Mamas attend Sweaty Mama with more than 1 child. Most groups have a great range of ages and we find that the more mobile children join in with part of the workout, enjoying a little march and squat. We do recommend that you bring a couple of things to keep them entertained if they are sitting on the mat to the side of the room- a few toys/a book or an Ipad to keep them happy. Anything goes so if you wish to pick them up and undertake part of the session with them, then pop them down if they get fidgety or too heavy you can do. Twins - We have had many Mamas join us with twins. There are a few different options depending on what you fancy. You can alternate interaction with them throughout the session, or some mamas even have a double twin specific carrier. Of course you can always pop one or both children down and undertake the class or even bring along a friend or family member too

AM I TOO UNFIT TO DO SWEATY MAMA?

Sweaty Mama is a great way to begin to gain fitness. The workout is specifically designed to support your body post natally and aid recovery whilst introducing exercise. You can keep it low to begin with and it’s lots of fun too. You can gradually increase the intensity of the exercise as you get fitter too!
