Colleen Burns, the founder of PregFit, is a Sydney-based physiotherapist actively involved in teaching exercise-based rehabilitation classes and providing education in the area of core stability, posture, movement retraining and women’s health.

The idea of PregFit was created during her own pregnancy, when she searched desperately to try and find stylish, comfortable, supportive and practical fitness wear herself. Her search forced her off-shore where she located some amazing designers creating exactly what she was looking for:

“My first thought was, all pregnant women in Australia should have the opportunity to wear these clothes!

I believe pregnancy is a time to feel beautiful, feminine and strong.

More and more we are being encouraged to stay active, and to try and maintain safe levels of fitness and strength. I am personally very passionate about the benefits of exercise during the pre and post-natal periods.

I had a vision that PregFit would not only provide women with stylish fitness fashions to keep them motivated and looking beautiful, but that the website would also offer reliable, up-to-date information on health and fitness during pregnancy. I am excited to be working with some of Australia's leading pre and post natal health experts to create the 'Pregnancy Health and Fitness' section of the website.

I hope that together, we can inspire, motivate and support each other during this miraculous time. Please email PregFit with your photos, videos and stories of your own pregnancy, how exercise has helped you, and any feedback about the products we supply.

Finally, congratulations on your pregnancy! The miracle of pregnancy never fails to amaze me. Your body will prove to you it has the ability to do things you never dreamed possible - I believe there has never been a more important time to focus on the health and wellbeing of yourself and your beautiful growing baby.”
