A PERSONAL trainer of mums and children has seen her business flourish since taking it online.

Lisanne O’Neill manages Sweaty Mama West Thurrock and since March 21 has been conducting her classes online.

It was the 35-year-old’s wish to keep families active during the lockdown in the UK to prevent the spread of coronavirus.

Sweaty Mama is a nationwide company where instructors provide workouts without the worry of childcare.

They are 45 minutes long and a mixture of cardio and body weight exercises where mothers bond with their children at the same time and utilise them as a weight.

Mrs O’Neill, who lives in Grays, said: “Over the course of sessions, you gradually build up your fitness level and strengthen your core to rehabilitate your body after having a child.

“I am currently running two businesses online due to the current government rules of social interaction.

“I started on Saturday March 21 and it’s going from strength to strength. “My other business is PTP Wellness.

“Under this I hold FaceTime personal trainer sessions and online HIIT (high intensity interval training) fitness classes.

“I have reduced my prices a lot to make it easier for people to still stay fit but not pay as much, to be honest I am not really making a profit for myself, it’s to help people stay fit during these challenging times.”

Sweaty Mama also runs “Bootcamp” sessions; a mixture of circuits ‘Bootcamp style’ and games.

This class is child free as it would throw up many health and safety issues.

Mrs O’Neill is a pre and post natal specialists so that she can safely cater for mums after having children.

This class is solely aimed at women and they don’t have to be mothers.

Mrs O’Neill added: “I have had such amazing feedback on both businesses, and I am actually busier now than before when it was in person.

“People have said they are loving them, helping them keep a routine, keep motivated and fit.

“It’s honestly all amazing feedback.”
