Iona Mumby Schwerin

Having worked as a teacher and, most recently, a deputy headteacher in a London primary school for the last 14 years, I took the plunge to turn my passion for fitness, health, and running into a new career at the end of 2022.  As a keen runner, having run many marathons and ultra-marathons, I have spent the last few years educating myself about the benefits of strength training in supporting my running journey.  This emphasis on strength training underpins all my work and my work with women through various stages of life has strength training at the heart of it. I focus on supporting women in building mental and physical strength to enable them to feel the best they can and be equipped to take on the world!

Since qualifying as a PT, having my first son and now being in my second pregnancy, I have specialised in pre- and postnatal fitness and physical activity.  My vision is to break down the barriers pregnant women face to be more physically active and to support women in training and moving to support their changing bodies in pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond.  I run workshops and classes in the gym I co-own, as well as online training and support to try and reach as many women as possible, and hope that by equipping myself with the most up-to-date research and expertise, I can empower you to move confidently in pregnancy and beyond.
